Skala Rachoni Resort

Amidst the dazzling flood of colours of the deep green hills, turquoise sea and white and goldish coast surrounded by olive groves, you will find the resort of Skala Rachoni becoming increasingly popular every year. And it is no wonder, since the complete peace far from civilization with the beauties of the untouched nature is a true paradise on earth.

After a day spent on the sea coast, visit a traditional taverna to enjoy some tasty dish. Besides nice Greek atmosphere, a taverna can offer you an extraordinary culinary experience. The freshly caught fish are carefully prepared and they certainly won´t disappoint you. If you don´t like fish, there is an offer of both meat and vegetarian dishes, including tasty salads with olive oil and cheese. In the resort, there are a few little shops where you will get basic articles and foodstuffs. If the local offer doesn´t satisfy you, visit the capital located only a few kilometres far away with a wide network of markets and groceries, offering home-made honey and olive oil, beverages, gifts, souvenirs, and hand-made products, among others.

Nights in the resort are peaceful as most people go on walks or sit down over a glass of a tasty drink and a laid table.

What to do in Skala Rachoni?

The fertle landscape of the Skala Rachoni region suffused with greenery is tempting to go on long walks in the nature. You will force your way up to the original village of Rachoni, and from some of the peaks, the whole coast with the surrounding green landscape will open up in front of you. You can also walk comfortably along the coast to Skala Prinos located 4 km far away. For longer trips you ought to rent a car, a motorbike or a jeep in some of the surrounding resorts, or use public transport, especially boats and ferries.

Skala Rachoni beaches

The local beach is quite popular since it is long, covered with sand and washed by beautifully clean and crystal clear blue water with a nice temperature. In most places, the seabed slopes down only gently, yet in some parts you need to be careful as the coast is indented and there are hollows and very steep undersea ground here and there. You can hide from the hot sun under the shade of the trees, or rent an umbrella with a deckchair. Some parts of the beach belong to the local hotels where you can get all the comfort including refreshment and practice some (rather calm) water sports. From the ´dry land´ activities, you can play tennis, volleyball, or go on a horse ride.
