💡 Tips

Bring a beach umbrella and snorkeling gear, as the local sandy beaches often lack organized sunbed rentals.
The roads winding through the olive groves are narrow; drive carefully and watch out for local agricultural vehicles.
Lunch hours are relaxed; expect traditional tavernas to open around 1:00 PM and serve late into the afternoon.
Renting a scooter is the most practical way to hop between the small hidden coves along this part of the Peloponnesian coast.
