Over Castella Beach

Welcome to our lodging; we hope to help you spend your vacation pleasantly. Castella is located in a spot that allows you to visit various archaeological sites close by. Olympia is just 90 km away, Delphi 120 km, Athens 220 km, Mycenae and Epidaurus 180 km away and Kyllini 60km away. If you do not have a car, we are at your disposal for any rental service, even for a single day! We would like to recommend some destinations very close to us. Don't miss a visit to the sand-only beaches of Kalogria, Gianiskari and Lakopetra, while, a few more kilometres away, you will find Loutra Kyllinis and Arkoudi, two favourite destinations. With beautiful beaches and an historic city, the island of Zakynthos is a pleasant option for a tour. The first ship from Kyllini leaves at 08.00 (book tickets at the reception). The trip takes 1 hour and 20 minutes, so you have the whole day to tour the island since the last ship back to Kyllini leaves at 20.00. The Achaia Clauss winery, located in Patras. Only 18 km. from Castella on the New National Road Patras- Athens in the third exit of the by-pass (Glafcus) to Patras. There, you have the opportunity to learn about the production and preservation of wines. In a beautiful environment, you will be taken on a tour and can taste the famous Mavrodaphne, the Demestiha wine and other wines of various dates. Nafpaktos is a favourite destination from Patras. A historic city dating back to ancient times, which has been the theatre of great battles, with the most famous that of Lepanto. The distance is around 45 minutes from Castella. After crossing the Rio-Antirio Bridge (the cost is 13 Euros - do not forget mention that you will return soon so as to be given a card to avoid paying for the return) head towards Itea, a beautiful city with a picturesque harbour and a castle on the hill. Enjoy the view of the Corinthian Gulf and let your imagination take you on a journey of the historical moments of the past. If you feel peckish, you can visit Monastiraki, a small fishing village 5 km. from Nafpaktos towards Itea. Fresh fish in a simply.... Greek environment! Kalavryta, another historic city; you will find information on this city in all tourist guides. I would suggest that you visit it on the cog railway, a traditional train. Leaving Castella and passing the New Patras-Athens National Road, after nearly 30 minutes take the exit towards Diakopto. There you will find the train station. The train ride to Kalavryta takes around an hour, while information on schedules is available at the reception. The fishing village Alykes, a very picturesque place for a stroll, is 5 km from Castella. Walk along the few streets of the village to see the construction of fishing vessels by authentic artisans and the preparing of the nets for the next catch in a community with emphasis on family values that seems unchanged by time! Continue walking beside the sea until you reach the tourist area of Niforaiika. If your stay in Kastela includes a Saturday, we suggest you visit the street market of Kato Achaia, 3 km away. It starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends around 12.30 pm. You will experience the chaotic yet pleasurable essence of Greece. The city also offers a large market. In Patras, do not forget to visit the impressive Church of St. Andrew and the Port. Don't miss a walk along the pedestrian walkways of Aghiou Nicholaou and Riga Fereou Streets. We can provide you with a map of the city and a bus schedule or book you a taxi at the reception. If you want to walk somewhere close to our lodging, try Alissos at a distance of 1 km. You can enjoy an ice cream or sweet at a crossroads that serves as an observation post for local residents. Charming, welcoming people you are sure to ask you where you are from and engage you in small chat. Nearby you will find Scholi, a cluster of hills full of olive trees, ideal for walking or jogging. The beach of Kato Achaia at 2 km, beside the Alykes hosts many clubs where you can enjoy loud music and a drink. At your disposal for any information, We wish you a pleasant stay .....................
