Xiropigado, a small paradise in Arkadia
Xiropigado is a small village in coastal Arkadia that wins you over with its beach, the sea and its nice climate. The beach alternates with rocks creating pleasant surprises. It has always been a tourist village suitable for peaceful and family holidays, I remember it in the 80s when it was flooded with european tourists but that stopped in the 90s, but there are still many rooms to rent.
The beach is filled with umbrellas, in the past when it was free it was much better. At least they don't charge since you just have to eat something from the shops. You will find a free beach at the pier.
