Kalo Chorio (meaning “good village”) is a nice scenic village, keeping intact its original traditional features, built in within a fertile valley; it is situated at a distance of 12,5 kilometers far from Aghios Nicolaos at the South and 1,5 kilometers southern to the coastal tourist resort of Istro. The village counts some 550 permanent residents.

Only a few rooms are available for accommodation in Kalo Chorio; however, as the first buildings of the tourist resort of Istro are only some 1000 meters far away, you will have a wide range of lodging to choose from. Some good hotels of all categories, studios and rooms to let are available. There are also various alternatives for food and drink.

Swimming is possible at the well-organised sandy beach of Chryssi Akti at Istro, a very popular beach, crowded enough in summer. Or, you may go to the less crowded and well protected from the winds beaches of Karavostassi, a pebbly beach and Aghios Panteleimonas. Some 2-3 kilometers at the East, you will find a few small beaches, very quiet, within a small cove.

Before, or just after swimming, it is worth visiting the ruins of the ancient city of Istrona (after which it has been named the actual settlement) found on the nearby low hill “Vrokastro”; you may also visit Kalo Chorio and enjoy your coffee or your “tsikoudia” there. If you feel like wandering around you may drive to Aghios Nicolaos (at the North), or Gournia (at the East), or visit the inland area up to the wonderful village Kalamafka, 13 kilometers far from Istro at the Southwest; there are several monuments worth seeing there, both natural monuments and interesting churches.

The summer is full of local feasts: on the 24 th of June in honor of Aghios Ioannis (Klidonas), on the 27 th of July, celebrating Aghios Panteleimon and on the 30 th of July in honor of Aghios Syllas.
