Independent in Mylopotamos from AU$90

The best area to stay in Mylopotamos is along the coast, with Panormo and Bali being the top choices for their convenient access to beaches and amenities.


Panormo is a charming, quieter fishing village that has grown into a popular holiday spot. Its central feature is a small, protected harbour with two main beaches, both suitable for swimming. The village centre, just a short walk from the beaches, has a selection of tavernas, cafes, and local shops. It's a great base for exploring the surrounding area, including the Melidoni Cave, a significant historical site.


Couples looking for a relaxing holiday will find Panormo particularly appealing. The pace is slower, and there are plenty of spots for a quiet meal by the sea. The village is compact and easy to navigate on foot, making it convenient for those who prefer not to drive much.


Bali, a little further east, offers a more lively option with four distinct coves, each with its own beach. The main beach, Livadi, is the longest and most developed, with a wider range of water sports available. The village sprawls along the coastline, with hotels and apartments often built into the hillsides, offering good sea views.


Families often gravitate towards Bali due to the variety of beaches and activities on offer. The sheltered coves provide calm waters for children, and there are numerous family-friendly tavernas.
