".. all the necessary ingredients for a fun-filled holiday."
Laganas boasts a long fine sandy beach which slopes gently into the clearest of blue seas providing ideal conditions for children and less confident swimmers. Water sports are restricted here because certain areas of the beach attract the protected loggerhead turtles that come to lay their eggs.

There are establishments serving British fare for the less adventurous palate, burgers for the fast food addicts and even international cuisine such as Chinese and Indian food.

A Laganas holiday would be incomplete without a trip to Smuggler’s cove. It is the most photographed cove in the whole of Greece with its tall cliffs, golden sands and wrecked ship half-buried in the sand. Although it can be viewed from above, the best place to see it is from out at sea. It is also worth taking a trip inland to the picturesque villages with their whitewashed houses and fertile vineyards where the authentic spirit of Greece is found.
