The village's main beach (i.e. the one that's reached by the main road) is called Giofyra (Γιόφυρα, meaning Bridge in Greek), but there are other beaches than can be reached through pathways, sometimes through dense vegetation. Some of the most popular ones are Rovinia, Chomi beach (can only be reached by sea, there are organised trips from nearby beaches), Liniodoro (Λινιόδωρο, roughly translates as "Gift from the Sun" = Ηλίου δώρον (''Heliou doron'', ''Iliou doron''), ancient Greek) and the renowned Palaiokastritsa beach, featuring a sandy beach and turquoise waters (usually too cold to swim in, due to the strong currents of the [[Adriatic Sea]]). |
