About Makrigialos
The peaceful and unhurried atmosphere of Makrigialos makes it the perfect holiday destination to escape from the crowds. Surrounded by some magnificent untouched countryside it has a beautiful charm that will make you return again and again. It's harbour area is small and compact, and above all friendly, an ideal place to experience the culture and enjoy the climate.
Makrigialos means "long beach" and here you will find glorious stretches of sandy beach with shallow, crystal clear waters that are perfect for children. The beach is lined with an exceptional range of tavernas to suit all tastes as is the fishing port, which is truly beautiful. The village is lively but still unspoiled; its friendly hospitality means you will be assured of a warm welcome wherever you go!
Behind Makrigialos lie expansive rolling hills with delightful panoramic views. There are many surrounding villages where you can experience authentic Greek cuisine while sampling locally produced fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, wine, and of course the finest olive oil in the World.
This is a tourist spot that is hardly touched by the package holiday trade as local planning aims to protect the local culture and prevent large scale development.
