If you want to be in the thick of things, don’t come here. With only the waves and a rushing creek for entertainment, this friendly, family-run property on an isolated beach is great for quiet relaxation. Rooms are comfortable without being fancy and come with balcony and kitchenette. The excellent taverna specialises in grilled meats and just-caught fish (mains €5 to €10).
Serene Ligres is a long sweep of greyish sand with some good swimming. Access to Ligres is via a tiny, winding road. Get off the main highway at Akoumia and follow the signs.
