Pera Pigadi
Παραλία Πέρα Πηγάδι
🤿 Good snorkelling
A stony shore on the far south-east coast, opposite the little islet of the same name, close to the path that leads to the Arethusa Spring. There is no road, no shade and no water. People come as part of the walk down from Perachori rather than for the swimming, but the sea here is as clear as anywhere on the island.
