Ermioni Town and Bisti Peninsula

Ermioni is a small harbour town with the pine-covered Bisti peninsula and its beaches.

Ermioni is a small harbour town on a pine-covered peninsula called Bisti, with a waterfront of tavernas and a coastal path around the headland. Swimming spots lie along the path, and it is easy to combine a walk, a swim and an evening meal in one outing. The town has a quiet, traditional character, with narrow lanes, small chapels and a long history going back to antiquity. The coastal path around Bisti is flat and shaded in places by pines, so it suits families and casual walkers. Bring water and a swimsuit, and wear sandals suitable for rocky entry points. Ermioni is less crowded than Porto Heli, which makes it a calm alternative in summer. It is also within easy reach of Franchthi Cave and Koilada. Visit in the late afternoon for a walk and swim, and stay for dinner by the harbour. The town fills with visitors in August and is quieter in other months.
