KOHLAKURA

From the village of Lipsi, you can reach this part of the island on foot in about 30 minutes. Before arriving, you will see on your right the 16th century church of Panaghia Harou, famous for the icon of the Virgin celebrated on August 23rd (see box). A little further away, you can taste and buy organic products from Kostas Makris, who has taken over the family farm a few years ago, and further away, Kohlakura is a pleasant pebble beach. Shaded in the morning, it offers little shade during the day but the waters are crystal clear.
