Agia Pelagia Beach

Start at the main bay, sheltered and close to tavernas and small shops. Set aside about an hour for a swim or a stroll along the seafront; sunbeds and an umbrella, when available, typically cost €10–20 for two people.

In high season, arrive early to find a spot near the water.

11:30

Psaromoura Beach

Reach the cove with an uphill-and-downhill walk of about 15–25 minutes from Agia Pelagia, or by car in just a few minutes. The bay is more intimate and scenic: bring water and proper shoes, as the access can be steep.

13:00

Lunch in Agia Pelagia

Return to the village for a relaxed lunch at a seaside taverna. Expect around €15–25 per person for a main course and a drink, with prices varying depending on the fish you choose.

14:30

Mononaftis Beach

Drive or take a taxi for about 5–10 minutes to this pebble bay, which is also popular for snorkeling. Allow about an hour and a half for swimming: a mask and reef shoes are useful, while equipment rental may cost extra.

17:00

Ligaria Beach

Reach Ligaria in just a few minutes by car and enjoy a quieter stop in the bay. The beach is suitable for a late-afternoon swim; check the sea conditions before going in, as the wind can change quickly.

19:30

Dinner in Agia Pelagia

Head back to the center for a Greek dinner and a stroll along the waterfront. Budget about €20–35 per person for a full meal; in July and August it’s wise to book ahead, especially at the places overlooking the bay.

09:00

Savathiana Monastery

Reach the monastery by car via inland roads, allowing for variable travel times and careful driving on narrow stretches. Visits depend on the religious community’s opening hours: check access before leaving and dress respectfully; entry is generally free, though donations are welcome.

11:00

El Greco Museum

Continue to Fodele and visit the museum dedicated to Doménikos Theotokópoulos, known as El Greco, whom local tradition associates with the village. Allow 45–60 minutes; any ticket is typically just a few euros, and opening hours may change depending on the season and day of the week.

12:15

Church of Panagia, Fodele

Stop at the Byzantine church of Panagia, known for its architecture and interior decorations. Allow about 20–30 minutes and make sure it’s open: during services or closing hours it may not be visitable.

13:00

Walk and lunch in Fodele

Explore the center on foot, among trees, small shops, and views over the valley, then stop at a taverna. A simple lunch costs around 15–25 € per person; ask for the daily specials and keep in mind that some places follow seasonal opening hours.

15:00

Fodele Beach

Drive down to the coast, usually in about 10–15 minutes, and spend the afternoon on the beach. The bay offers a broader swimming break than the coves of the first day; bring sunscreen and check on site for the availability of sunbeds and facilities.

18:30

Return and dinner

Head back to your accommodation or stop for dinner in the Fodele area, choosing a taverna in the village or along the coast. Budget about 20–35 € per person for a full dinner and leave some time for the return trip, especially after sunset on the inland roads.

09:30

Palaiokastro Fortress

Drive to the promontory of Palaiokastro and take in the remains of the Venetian fortress and its strategic position above the coast. The site is outdoors and takes about 45–60 minutes; it is generally freely accessible, but the uneven ground calls for closed shoes.

11:00

Pantanassa Beach

Head down to the nearby Pantanassa Beach for about an hour’s break. Access and services can vary by season: bring water and don’t assume sunbeds or refreshment options will be available.

12:30

Transfer to Ammoudara

Reach Ammoudara by car, allowing about 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. It is a long, urbanized coastal area, with plenty of parking and dining options, but in summer it can be congested.

13:00

Lunch in Ammoudara

Stop at a taverna or a casual place near the sea. For a full meal, budget around 15–25 € per person; if you are traveling by bus, check stops and timetables in advance for the return trip.

15:00

Ammoudara Beach

Spend the afternoon on this long sandy beach, ideal for swimming, strolling along the shore, or resting after sightseeing. There are equipped sections and quieter open areas; sunbed and umbrella rental is roughly 10–20 € for two people, depending on the area and season.

19:00

Sunset stroll and dinner

End with a walk along the seafront and dinner in the area, without adding transfers to other locations. A full dinner costs roughly 20–35 € per person; for fresh fish, the bill may be higher.
