💡 Tips

  • The main beach gets very crowded in summer; head to the eastern end ("Psili Ammos") for slightly more space.
  • The coastal road is narrow and often congested, so consider parking on the higher parallel streets.
  • Rent a pedal boat or small motorboat to explore the nearby uninhabited islands of Romvi and Koronisi.
  • Evenings are lively, but for a quieter dinner, look for tavernas on the hillsides rather than right on the sand.

Tolo was once a simple fishing village and has evolved into one of the most popular resorts in the region due to its excellent location in Argolis. The fine sandy beach and shallow, usually calm waters of the bay make it especially attractive for families with small children. Off the coast lie the small islands of Romvi and Koronisi, which can be easily explored by boat or even pedal boat. Numerous tavernas line the main street and the waterfront, serving local specialties like fresh octopus and traditional Greek dishes. Tolo serves as a good base for cultural excursions: historic Nafplio is just 15 minutes away, and the ancient sites of Epidaurus and Mycenae are within easy reach. Water sports enthusiasts will enjoy diving, sailing, or windsurfing here. The best time for a beach holiday is from June to September, while May is first-rate for hiking in the blooming surroundings.
