WHAT WE LOVE...

Sit in the harbour and enjoy the tranquil setting over a Greek coffee, cocktail or local meal, or go down the winding streets and pick up some souvenirs. If you want to travel further there is a zoo, a womens cooperative to make and buy local delicacies, olive oil tours as well as the charming village of Kritsa to explore.
