Staying on Poseidonos Avenue

Poseidonos Avenue runs past several separate stretches of waterfront, so use a named beach to judge your location. Alykes and Vrysoudia give useful reference points near the town end. Check whether your accommodation opens toward the promenade or requires a walk around the block, particularly when comparing rooms described as close to the sea.

Questions

Staying on Poseidonos Avenue

How do I judge the walk to the harbor?

Measure from your hotel's entrance to the harbor itself. Properties sharing a Poseidonos Avenue address can have quite different walking times.

Is the beach directly outside every hotel?

Check photographs and public access routes carefully. Some frontage is rocky, and reaching a suitable swimming beach may involve a walk.

Can I use the promenade for an evening walk?

Yes, the waterfront is useful for an evening stroll. Check the return route to your particular hotel before setting out.
