Tolo

Tolo was originally a small fishing village. Today, the town can be understood through several specific features: its long sandy beach, the rocky islets in the gulf and local traditions. When choosing a hotel destination, this combination can help you first decide what you want to focus on during your trip. Would you like to associate Tolo above all with the beach and water, are you interested in the islands and their coves, or do local customs give you a reason to consider the town? These questions lead to different, clearly defined aspects of Tolo.

Beach and water

Tolo’s beach is two kilometres long and almost entirely covered in fine, golden sand. Its length and surface give a precise picture of this stretch of coast: one detail describes its extent, the other the nature of the sand. Psili Ammos in Tolo has shallow, clear water and is suitable for families with children; the beach has been awarded the Blue Flag several times. This means that when assessing the coast, you can consider the sand and length as well as the character of the water, suitability for families and awards. If you are looking for a suitable destination, you can weigh up which of these beach features best matches your interests.

Islets and harbour

Romvi, Koronisi and Daskalio are rocky, uninhabited islets in the Gulf of Tolo. Their small coves are suitable for swimming and fishing. Alongside the beach, this brings another clearly defined landscape into view: the group of islands and its coves. Koronisi can also be distinguished within the group of three by its cultural connection: the Church of the Holy Apostles stands on the island. Traditional fishing boats and excursion boats heading to the two islets are part of Tolo’s harbour scene. The islands, coves, church and harbour therefore offer different perspectives on the town, without equating the islands with the sandy beach.

Local traditions

On Good Friday, the Epitaphios procession takes place at sea in Tolo; it is an annual tradition. The custom of Saint John Kleídonas is associated with 24 June. The two customs can be distinguished by when they take place: the procession is tied to Good Friday, while the Kleídonas custom is tied to a fixed date in June. Together with the Church of the Holy Apostles on Koronisi, these traditions provide a cultural connection that encompasses both a local landmark and local customs. If you would like to take traditions into account when choosing a destination, these aspects complement Tolo’s beach and island character.
