A local would say...

Ancient Greeks walked these shores — and apart from a few communist bunkers, not much has changed.

A breathtakingly isolated stretch of Ionian coastline backed by snow-capped mountains and ancient olive groves, among the last truly unspoilt Mediterranean beaches in Europe. A 15-minute walk downhill through olive groves from the road leads to a long, pristine beach where crystalline waters meet dramatic mountain scenery. Albanian bunkers dot the landscape, surreal reminders of the communist era.
