The Holiday homes Azalas lie next to the small settlement Ágios Dimítris.

Only a few houses make up the small settlement.

The shepherds and farmers in the area used to live in small stone houses.

these old stone houses are called “mitátos”

The valley to the north of Azalás is deeply incised.

In places the river bed forms a small gorge.

There are several taverns directly at the beach.

Here you can sit wonderfully to enjoy your meal.

Behind this hill lies the wonderful beach of Chochlakás.

the amazing beach Chochlakás

The beach lies on the south side of the cape, so that the water is calm in summer.

To get to the beach you have to walk down this steep rock face.
