Pylona - nearest beaches and tips for nearby trips

Pilonas is not directly on the coast, but about 2.5 km inland.

The coastline and beaches are not far away and there are plenty of beaches to choose from - the closest ones are the pleasant and well-equipped sand and shingle beach of Vlicha and the really long and quiet sand and shingle beach of Kalathos.

However, tourists from the village of Pilonas will not want to miss a visit to the nearby tourist resort of Lindos, including the ancient acropolis on top of the hill and its beautiful beaches of Lindos, Pallas or St. Paul's Bay.

Who is Pilonas suitable for?

What can you expect from Pilonas Village? First of all a peaceful and quiet environment and friendly inhabitants. There are individual rooms for rent or smaller family-run guesthouses and villas to accommodate tourists and the village has only basic tourist services, for more shopping and entertainment, you'll have to go to the larger tourist resorts on the coast.
