What a charming village! It feels like stepping into a storybook from our childhood. I've only visited during the winter season, so I can't speak for the summer atmosphere. However, during the winter, it's peaceful and filled with the sounds of nature and animals. The almond trees and spring flowers in March create a beautiful scene.
The sunsets here are absolutely breathtaking. Each day, it's like Helios himself is showcasing his artistic talents by painting the skies. It's a place that everyone should see at least once. I just hope that the city officials will prioritize preserving the beauty of this place instead of constructing unsightly, concrete homes. Unfortunately, I've noticed a rise in the construction of large houses and hotels, which is being done haphazardly without proper planning or involvement of civil engineers. They're even cutting down the magnificent millennial trees without replanting. It's disheartening to witness this disregard for nature.
Destroying the village's natural surroundings and trees through the construction of unattractive structures is a surefire way to deter tourism, which is the village's sole source of income. I hope that the authorities will realize this soon and take necessary precautions before it's too late. It's a saddening thought.

This secluded cove is a hidden gem, offering a pristine sandy beach and stunning sea views. However, it would be even more enjoyable if there were organized hiking activities available. While the camping experience is satisfactory, it falls short of being a luxurious glamping experience, making it a questionable value for money.

This beach is a stunning location nestled within the forest, right by the seaside. The presence of ancient ruins clearly indicates that it was once a settlement from ancient times. What caught my attention the most is that this land is officially registered and the owner has no intention of selling it to anyone. Personally, I don't think I'll be returning.
The warmest month during the year in this area is August,
