Chorefto: Beach, Route and Literary Connection

These features suit different travel interests. First, consider whether the coast, a walking route, or a cultural connection to the place should shape your choice.

Sandy beach and route

As you make your shortlist, consider whether the sandy beach or a walking tour is more likely to shape your stay.

The two distance figures refer to different things: 3 km describes the route from Zagora to Chorefto, while 2.5 km is the length of the sandy beach.
