| Description |
Agia Roumeli is a rather new village set in
superb natural surroundings. |
|
| Getting there |
Not easy: you can either walk or take the ferryboat
from Hora Sfakion or Sougia. There are no roads leading to
Agia Roumeli. |
| Atmosphere |
In the afternoon it gets rather busy with people
who have hiked through the gorge of Samaria. In the morning
and after the last boat has left in the afternoon Agia Roumeli
is very very peaceful. |
| Accommodation |
Plenty of good but simple accommodation. |
| Restaurants |
Plenty of restaurants. |
| Activities |
Apart from relaxing the only obvious activity
is walking and there is a lot of choice. |
| Shopping |
There are only two mini-markets in the village
which provide most basic needs. |
| Nightlife |
No organized nightlife whatsoever. |
| Beach |
Superb beaches (varying from coarse to very
fine pebbles). The ones a little away from the village are
usually deserted. Very clear sea. |
| Additional comments |
Agia Roumeli is a little bit of a special case:
it sees a lot of tourists who come because of the Samaria
gorge every day but almost none of them stay overnight. This
means that apart from a few hours a day the village is a very
peaceful place to be. |
