In and around Pigadi
Pigadi and it’s neighboring town Pteleos are perfect examples of traditional Greek life that have changed little in it’s simplicity and tranquility over the years.
Sheltered by a unique coastline which gives both stunning mountain views and a crystal clear sea, you would be forgiven for thinking, while sitting at one of the shoreline tavernas, that you were beside a lake. And it is this tranquility, and the warm, easy going attitude of it’s residents, that gives Pigadi it’s magical, charming quality.
Predominantly an olive growing and fishing community, the area has had to sacrifice little of it’s character for the sake of tourism. Although, understandably favored in the summer by many Greek urbanites, Pigadi has no high rise apartments, no ‘English pubs’ and no ‘package holiday’ feel so synonymous with Greek destinations.
Instead you will find authentic tavernas, serving only fresh produce, fished or farmed locally, often by the owners themselves.
