Ag.Gordis

Is a very extensive beach on the west coast and can be considered to belong to both Sinarades and Kato Garouna. Hotels, restaurants and bars fulfill the needs of the many visitors who regularly choose this spot for their holidays. Amongst Agios Gordis’ most impressive features are the rocks at its northern end, sculpted by the waves into works of art. Rocks and pebbles continue on from this end of the beach, overlooked by the imposing cliff of Aerostato. It was formerly known as Vardia (Watchpoint) because, in the days of pirate threats, it was from this point that the locals kept lookout over the western shores. You can get to Aerostato and its shoreline by way of a road at the northern end of Sinarades. At the southern end of Agios Gordis is the famous ‘Ortholithos’, a dramatic free-standing rock rising from the waves, which was mentioned by the writer Iakovas Polilas in his tales.
