Well where do I start! Lynne the owner of the Bookshop is so friendly and helpful with great local knowledge and is happy to recommend different companies for various tours and is very happy to sort out a bargain for you amongst her wide range of stationery and New and Used Books. On our recent Holiday we visited the shop twice at the start and end of our Holiday and I’d recommend paying Lynne a visit even if Books aren’t your thing. On a side note Lynne’s beautiful dog Pepper will also give you a warm welcome and a friendly lick. This place was undoubtedly one of the memorable experiences of our Holiday.

Spiaggia Xerokampos

Reviewed By mojius13

Definitely worth the long drive Xerokampos is not a single beach but rather a series of beaches for every taste. We ended up at the large organised beach that was accessible and very friendly for kids. Clear shallow water and sandy beaches were perfect for the little ones.

Itanos Beach

Reviewed By Deutschexpat13 - Pulheim, Germany

On the eastern end of Epar.Od. Monis Toplous - Vai one stands on the edge of history. Located here are three beaches, two archeological sites, and one unique geological formation. The road ends at a sandy parking lot. A direct walk takes one to the sea and Erimoupolis beach. Head south and one can wander through the Ancient City of Itanos on their way to Itanos Beach, the nude friendly beach. Turn north and one can pass through the Necropolis of the Itanos Archeological site on their way to Psalida beach. Or one can head a bit inland and above the beach to observe the red tock formations that are unique to the area.
