Journey to the beach

The coastal resort of Lygia is just over a kilometre away, but if you’d like to visit a truly beautiful spot, it’s worth travelling to Pefkoulia Beach. Here, high cliffs add a dramatic backdrop to the sandy shore. Or you could also visit Agios Ioannis Beach in nearby Lefkas Town.

Explore inland

If you don’t fancy venturing out to the coast, there’s still plenty to discover inland. You could head to Siflogo Winery to try locally-produced wines. Plus, the village of Karya is only 10km away, where you’ll find the interesting Karya Folklore Museum.
