The village has a small harbour, where equally small boasts can be beached: to either side bays have formed, with an overall length of 2 km. Both have sand and pebbles and clear water.
At several places in front of the beach you will find tamarisk trees in whose shade you can take your ease. The beach is well-equipped – umbrellas and sunbeds. The village, alas, sprawls, but you will find rent-rooms, small hotels, tavernas and everything to ensure you enjoy a comfortable vacation.
In the bay to the west of the harbour are some attractive caves.
The best known is the Drakospilia (The Dragon’s Cave); and thereby hangs a tale or two: the locals say they found the skeleton of just such a beast inside!
Tsoutsouras acts as a jumping-off point for a number of excursions to the surrounding areas, including the several beaches within a short walk or you can go by boat).
For example, a footpath takes you to the strands of Maridaki and Aghios Nikitas in 15 or so minutes. Or, to the north, of the village you can find the cave where was worshipped the goddess of childbirth, Eileithyia.
To the east of Tsoutsouras you will find the beaches of Pourgonero and Dermatos.

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