There is a small church there, with shaded benches where you can relax and read, paint, meditate or write. Beyond is another beach for even more privacy. You can spend your days on the beach or walk for hours in the green valley, past farms and orchards. There are archaeological sites too, including the cave of the Poetess Sappho and the ancient church of St Andrew. In the cafes are foreigners who have come for the history, the romance or just to be close to the sea.
Conversation is never a problem, nor is making friends.
Many of these are former tourists who have fallen in love with the village and if they have not bought a house of their own, they still return year after year, staying in rented homes or rooms. The beauty of this is that they now have a regular place to go for their holidays where they know people, and for a few weeks a year their children play with the children of other people who have become regular visitors too. Whether it's a one-time visit that you will never forget or a visit that will begin a relationship that will last a lifetime, Eressos in my opinion is the best destination in Greece.
