Larinaki and Listis

The Weather Now

16°C

Going along to the east, towards Keratokampos, the next beach you meet is Larinaki.

Larinaki

A most attractive pebble beach with very clear deep water. It is not organized, and you will encounter neither umbrellas nor sunbeds. A few tamarisks growing at the front of the beach offer shade to the visitor, such as the wandering campers.

Once again, the isolation ensures it attracts nudists.

Nearby are some tavernas, but for rent-rooms and other amenities you must go to Tsoutsouras a few kilometers to the west. It is a developed seaside community.

The area has proven to be archaeologically interesting – as indeed the whole Tsoutsouras area is. Nearby here some Hellenistic and Roman graves have turned up.

To get to the beach, a road runs here from Tsoutsouras, some 7 km off: the same goes on to the exquisite strand of Listis (the Robber), and a little further east to that of Kastri.

Listis

The strand is in a most beautiful setting: a natural bay with huge rocks forms a magnificent beach. It has sand, very crystal-clear water and a sandy bottom.

listis beach

The name comes from a rocky section at the east end: in one of the caves there a terrible robber (listis) once lived, as the locals say.

It is not developed at all: no tavernas nor rooms to rent may be found. If you do not care for unsupervised camping, then you must make your way to the organized villages of Tsoutsouras and Keratokampos, where plenty of hotels and rent-rooms ply their trade.

Accessibility

For the Rural Greece accessibility is fundamental to enhancing an inclusive tourism experience. Following the principles of inclusion and equality, the epaithros Rural Tourism Network and its member businesses are constantly working to enhance the tourism services provided, ensuring that all visitors have the opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of the Greek countryside.

Sustainability

Sustainability in tourism refers to a way of developing tourism that respects and protects the environment while strengthening the local economy and preserving cultural traditions. The aim of sustainable tourism is to provide unique and authentic experiences for visitors without harming the natural and social environment, while ensuring that local communities benefit from tourism activity.

This type of tourism is based on three pillars:

  1. Environmental sustainability: preserving the natural landscape and ecosystems, with actions to reduce pollution, energy consumption and waste.
  2. Economic sustainability: supporting local economies, strengthening small businesses and creating jobs, while respecting the region's natural resources.
  3. Social sustainability: respecting local culture and traditions, strengthening social cohesion and ensuring that tourism activities benefit the quality of life of local people.

With sustainable tourism, visitors can have authentic experiences, knowing that the impact of tourism on the region is positive and lasting for future generations.

Locality

For Rural Greece, localism is one of the most important factors for the development of sustainable tourism, as it promotes a strong link between the tourism product and the local society, economy and culture. Through localism, visitors get the opportunity to explore authentic elements of the destination, such as local products, traditions and culture. This not only boosts the local economy, but also helps to sustain and strengthen local businesses, creating new jobs and supporting the development of local communities.

Furthermore, localism contributes to the sustainability of the tourism sector, as it reduces the use of resources from other regions and encourages the use of local goods and services, reducing the ecological footprint of tourism activities. Thus, integrating localism into tourism practices enhances sustainability awareness, both among visitors and local businesses, creating a more responsible and sustainable tourism destination.
