Staying in Psarou
At Psarou, the route down to the water deserves as much attention as the room itself. Some accommodation sits above the bay, while beach access and vehicle movements concentrate around the lower approach. Ask for a walking route to the sand and clarify whether your booking includes any beach facilities before making daily plans.

Can I walk to Platys Gialos?
