VATERA
BEACH S.A. HOTEL & TOURISTIC ENTERPRISES |
atera's endless stretch
of beach, lapped by the clear waters of the Aegean has been repeatedly
awarded the blue flag of the EU for its clean, unspoiled beach and
water. It is an ideal spot for swimming, sailing, all sorts of water
sports, fishing and boat excursions. The region is also endowed with
great natural beauty, making it ideal for trekking on foot through the
verdant landscape.
short stroll (about
200m) from the Hotel brings one to the "Almiropotamos", the
river which descends from the hot springs of Polixnitos... In April and
May, many guests enjoy bird watching along the river. At the bridge
lives a colony of large turtles, which come out to greet the visitor,
looking of course for bread and goodies.
