Spianáda Square

Spiniada is officially the largest square in Greece and it got its name from a Venetian word meaning 'an open flat area'.

Paleokastritsa Monastery

A fantastic monastery on a scenic cape but not for high season. Anyhow, visit also the viewpoints and Nausika's cave for pictures, and the donkey station.

Paleokastritsa Viewpoint

A viewpoint with views of Paleokastritsa's bays, the monastery, the infinite sea, and steep-rock cliffs. Go there for sunset. Simply breath-taking, innit?

Excuse us for not being able to find a better free-to-use picture of this place.

The Blue Eye Cave

Don't go to this place without mask and snorkel. You will miss 90% of what's to see. Shimmering-blue waters, nice cave. Fabulous by kayak.

Pantokrator Monastery

The 1347 monastery is lovely but the breathtaking panoramic view is why most people take the windy roads to the hilltop. Unless in summer, hike to this place.

Kaiser William II Observatory

Here you lay your eyes on the same view that a German Emperor had. With a few more buildings and powerlines, I suppose. Don't miss it if you're nearby.

Cape Drastis

Erosion has worked miracles at Cape Drastis. An excellent setting for exotic pictures with panoramic views. Sunset time is definitely best.

Old Perithia Village

Old Perithia is a great place for photographer. Its an abandoned village on a hill with magnificent views. Plenty of material here - a window in time.

Agios Gordios Shipwreck

A small boat eroded into smaller pieces scattered on the beach. It's a place with a strange beauty. Maybe suitable for decay photography on the beach.

Gouvia Venetian Shipyard

What an interesting place. The Gouvia Venetian Shipyard is an anchor to this place's long history. Best enjoyed between dives at the Gouvia beach.
