VATERA
One of the best beaches of the island lies at Vatera. The beach is 8km long with pure crystal waters and constitutes a pole of attraction for the summer visitors, making the settlement a rapidly developing summer resort.
The area combines natural beauty with historical interest, since at the cape of St Fokas with the homonymous little church have been found ruins of the ancient temple of Dionysus, as well as ruins and other constructions of the old-christian royal period. Moreover it has been said that this area had been one of the bases of operations of Achaeans during the Trojan War.
