On the north-east side of the Prefecture of Arcadia, there is a series of beaches bordering with the Myrtoan Sea, and facing the Aegean. During your holidays, you can choose among famous resorts and beautiful villages, beaches with crystal clear waters, sand and white pebbles, organised or quieter and more secluded. They are surrounded by woody landscapes and “guarded” by the slopes of Mount Parnonas.

The coastal settlements of the coastline of Kynouria, such as coastal Astros, Tyros, Leonidio with the harbour of Plaka, improve their facilities to a large extent every year, in order to welcome visitors, including a lot of families.

Starting from the beaches of Astros , you can go further to the south, towards Tyros and then Leonidio. On your way there, there are a lot more choices for swimming, food and entertainment by the sea.

The lacy coastline with the small beaches of the Myrtoan Sea up to Tyros beach, such as Kryoneri, Tserfos, Zaritsi, Tigani, are a sight for sore eyes.
