Intense Archaeological Interest in Karteros

Karteros has become a thriving tourist destination, thanks to its significant development in recent years. Nestled within its bay are two vibrant settlements, namely Karteros and Amnisos.

The area provides a wide range of accommodation, including hotels and rental rooms, along with tavernas and playgrounds. The beach caters to visitors' needs with amenities such as sunbeds, parasols, lifeguards, as well as cafés and restaurants. Across the beach, there is a small island called Monocharako, accessible either by swimming or by using a pedal-powered kayak from Amnissos.

Of significant archaeological value is the archaeological site of Amnissos.

For those who appreciate nature, the Karteros River Gorge presents a delightful opportunity. The gorge originates from Skalani and offers a relatively easy hiking trail, making it accessible for nature lovers of various fitness levels.
