Tips for visiting the Enchanting Village of Pigadi

The seaside area of Pigadi

The small seaside village of Pigadi will impress you. This traditional fishing village is located below the hilltop where the Pteleos Castle stands majestically. The settlement is filled with beautiful houses built amphitheatrically, and its small beach is lined with tavernas and charming bars. As soon as you arrive, start exploring on foot right next to the sea, where you will better discover the area. Restaurant owners usually catch the fish on the same day, which is why the seaside area of Pigadi is a well-known fishing village in the wider region.

Thank you Marialena. We will try them all! I’ve been told there is a ‘summer supermarket’ in Pigadi harbour. Do you know if this is right? And if so, do you know it’s opening hours? Thank you!
