About Skaleta
The small harbour of Skaleta, was in use during the second Byzantine period. Attractions include the churches of Zoodochou Pighis (live-giving spring) and St. Skaleta’s large, sandy beach, is surrounded by low hills, from the top of which a visitor can enjoy spectacular views especially at sunset. The beach is one of the last hatching places of the caretta-caretta turtle and the seal of monachus-monachus. The historical and mythological background of the area and the village of Skaleta as well as the beauty of the landscape make the resort attractive to visitors. The European blue flag for clean beaches and sea water is awarded every year to Skaleta . Picturesque nearby villages are Prinos, Episkopi, and Stavromenos as well as the monastery of Arsani ofering the visitor opportunities for walks and to get to know the local people and customs.
