Natural environment- Beaches of ecological interest
|
This is a village rich in agriculture. There are olive groves, citrus trees and fields of conifers. There are rural roads ideal for walking. These roads lead to Arnitha and Mesanagro.
Despite the fact that the village is located in the hinterland, a visitor will marvel at a coast line with unique beaches, within a few kilometers of the village.
The beach near Apolakkia, that extends to the west, is very beautiful. This coastal region, “Apolakkia bay”, is protected by the European Network “NATURA 2000” and is made up of an ecosystem of dunes and wild cedar bushes “Juniperoys Oxycedrus” (Arkevthos). One more element that musters scientific interest in this region is that on this coast, the presence of two important species has been observed: the marine turtle Caretta-Caretta and the seal Monachus-Monachus.
