A Local Walk

Around 150 metres from Villa Verde is our local beach

Two excellent fish tavernas are very close.

Our walk towards the harbour takes us past other small beaches … 

… and along a very pleasant promenade.

There are a few café bars as we approach the harbour ... 

... and a small sandy beach

Beyond the harbour a wide but quiet road provides plenty of parking space. 

Another promenade heads towards the sandier beaches. 

Café bars and restaurants face the sea. 

The road narrows …

… then becomes a footpath heading towards the Brexiza Blue Flag beach and eventually to the village of Marathon Beach a few kilometres away.   We're now around 1.7 km from Villa Verde.

Going inland from the coast, the area has many trees and the mountains provide a nice backdrop to the town. 

The main town square is around 1 km from Villa Verde.

It has a few banana trees …   

… and is surrounded by a busy commercial district … 

… with an interesting range of shops.

Unfortunately many shops are closing due to Greece's economic problems.
