Nissaki means a little island, and that is what Nissaki was years ago. The top of the island is now surmounted with a taverna. The island was joined with the land by stone chippings that were being shaped by local people. With the years passing by the rocks created a ramp. Now there is a thouroughfare joining the old town with the taverna and the mainland. Nissaki is a picturesque village and boasts a beautiful pebbly beach shaped like a horseshoe.
Nissaki is defiantely not for those seeking for night parties and the beat of nightlife. It is a peaceful village offering different types of accommodation ideal for those who like silence and peace, admiring of heavenly views as well as melting into a small and friendly community. The beach and shallow waters provide all enthusiasts of watersports with unusual occasion to try snorkelling or scubadiving as the sea there is crystal clear. Maybe too quiet for teenagers when it comes down to nightlife but there is of course a possibility to hire a car and make for Kassiopi or Ipsos to have fun.
Quite a different place is located on the west coast Paleokastritsa, situated around three main bays. It is famous for being the most tresured baeuty spot. There are quite a few beaches and coves in the viccinity of Palokastritsa. There is also a monastery built in the 17th century. Visitors may come in provided they are appropriately dressed. Also worth seeing are the ’sea caves’ that can be best accessed by a boat (there is a possibility to participate in a 30 minutes long one). But the town is most famous for the busy bightlife!
