Agios Iliodoros beach
Moreover, the track ends already in Paleokastritsa, so you will have to walk to the resting place. The nearest villages can be reached by bus or car, as you prefer. Agios Iliodoros Square is small, so during the hot season the beach can be full of people.

Beach description
The beach is located on the cape with tall green hills that emerge far in the sea. This guarantees that the water here is crystal clear and untouched as it's washed by the currents. The beach's surface is pebbly, so children might not feel comfortable here: you'll either have to lead them by the hand or buy special slippers.
This place doesn't have even the basic necessities, but it's a positive rather than a negative! No trace of a human means you'll be able to enjoy nature fully. This is a perfect place for those who want to escape civilization and enjoy rare moments of solitude with family or friends. The Monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary was situated on the slopes of the hills before.
When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
