Back to Top of Kantouni and Linaria PageOverview


'Peacefulness' is the word that characterizes best these places since they are away from the noisy crowds.
It's interesting to know that 'kantouni' is the Greek word for the small narrow street between the houses.<
Linaria beach is closeby Kantouni beach and provides easy access with car and bike. The Patela Rock which is a popular place of interest, provides an excellent view to Kantouni, Linaria and other areas around.

Visitors will have the chance to see the monasteries of 'Stavros' and 'Virgin Mary', and of course they can follow the path to 'Melitsahas' from the beach.
One of the most spectacular sights in the area is the place where the two bays are divided in the middle by a very strange rocky formation, standing up about 100 metres from the sea level.
Another unforgettable experience is watching idyllic sunsets by the sea.
