Beaches

Pure tranquility


The nearest beach - just you and the fishesThe nearest beach is a small sandy cove 1 km away - about 20 minutes' walk on cobbled paths through the olive groves, or 3 minutes by car.

The main village beach (also 1 km) has free loungers at the water's edge and a good range of waterside cafes and restaurants.

The ultimate in waterside diningAt some Greek restaurants, cats hang around pestering for scraps. In Kato Gatzea the fish do the same thing! Throw a crust of bread into the sea and watch the water bubble.

There is also a classy Rivera club, with loungers in the shade of the trees at the water's edge, waitress service for drinks and a range of watery leisure kit for hire (snorkels, canoes etc)

1 km further down the coast is the small low-key resort of Kala Nera (meaning "Fine Waters") with a long sandy beach, a few tourist shops and a good range of restaurants. There are also boat trips from here to the islands of Trikeri and the Sporades.
