The area

The view of the towering rocks is awe-inspiring, set among peaks and caves, and inhabited from the 18th century when monks established the monasteries and a centuries-old tradition using ropes, nets or their bare hands.

You can take a day trip to the beautiful island of Sporades, enjoy swimming on the beaches of Lalaria or Koukounaries (considered to be among the best beaches in Greece), have a coffee at the Bourtzi Fortress, and stroll along Papadiamantis Street.

This artificial lake in complete harmony with the scenic, lush landscapes makes for a beautiful day trip.
