Beaches
The local beach between Perama and Benitses is a pebble beach and the surrounding hills offer popular walking trails. Myrtiotissa beach at around 30 minutes is famously described by the author Laurence Durrell in ‘Prospero’s Cell’ and the sandy beach at Halikounas around 36 minutes from Gastouri has soft sand and shallow swimming water. It is popular with kite surfers and has a nearby taverna. At 35 minutes’ drive you will reach Alonaki, a sandy stretch of beach, its sheltered position keeping any wind at bay.
