LEFTO YALO BAY

The beautiful sheltered bay of Lefto Yalo is on the island's South east coast. The beach here is uncrowded and one of the most picturesque on the island. Two tavernas are set back from the beach of dazzling white pebbles and crystal clear waters. Patitiri, the island's port is a 15 minute drive south while the pretty fishing port of Steni Vala takes much the same time but due north. For walking enthusiasts there are many interesting trails leading from the bay up to the forested Issiomata ( a flat piece of land in Greek) plateau and along the coast towards Steni Vala.
