Emporio
For travellers and couples who enjoy village architecture and exploring fortified lanes
Through Emporio’s Kasteli entrance, lanes lead past adjoining houses, stairways and vaulted passages. Goulas tower is another village landmark, while the Gavrilis windmills add a nearby point of interest. Perissa, Perivolos and Vlychada belong in a southern-island outing plan.
Consider this inland base if you enjoy making architecture part of a holiday. Spend time exploring the village, with separate days organised around the coast. We would choose it because you want to return to a village, then assess how the particular property fits your transport plans.
The Kasteli has stairs and narrow passages, so request the approach to the entrance before deciding. Compare Perissa or Perivolos if the main aim is beach time and seaside dining.
Our tip
For an address in Emporio’s Kasteli, ask about stairs and passages on the approach. Plan trips to Perissa or Perivolos from the property’s precise location.
