Agios Gordios Argyradon - Also offers disabled access with amphibious wheelchairs

Midway down the west coast of the island, Agios Gordis enjoys a dramatic setting against a backdrop of verdant mountains. Viewed from the top of the steep approach road, the huge sweep of the bay ends at a craggy monolithic islet, the resort's trademark feature. Most local workers live in three nearby villages, Sinarades (which has a fascinating folk museum), Ano Garouna and Pentati, and thus fishing and farming as well as tourism are part of the economy. Indeed, many of the beachside tavernas serve home-grown produce. Accommodation is mostly in apartments and quality hotels, large and small, and the resort is home to the world-famous Pink Palace, a mecca for back-packers. The mountainous surrounding countryside provides a marvellous environment for walkers and nature-lovers, and altogether this family-oriented resort is a perfect location for a relaxing, sun-filled holiday.
