In April 2018, we were staying in Aeropoli, up the coast. We did a driving tour on Good Friday, and it was overcast much of the day. On the extremely twisty roads, climbing up and down, the sun suddenly broke out as we got to a place overlooking the Gerolimenas beach. It looked like paradise way down at sea level, and we drove down to see it up close.

Well, Good Friday in Greece is a very solemn day, and places were pretty much closed up, and people just weren’t out and about. We looked around from the car for about one minute, then headed back up the steep road out of town. Can’t give you recommendations about what to do there or where to stay, but it was intriguing to drive there, and I want to go there again, when we’re anywhere nearby.

Drove there last week while staying in Limeni. The Kyrimai hotel is absolutely beautiful and there is a rocky beach there and a pier to swim from. On the day we drove there, waves were crashing over the pier, so no swimming. There are a few tavernas in the town. Would be pretty for an overnight at Kyrimai, or stay in beautiful Limeni and simply drive south to see gerolimenas and also Vathia. In Limeni, the Limeni Village Hotel offers excellent accommodations and breathtaking views.
We had originally planned to stay in gerolimenas for a night or two, but changed to three nights in Limeni. Happy planning!
