What to do in Lagoufa beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Lagoufa beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Lagoufa beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

The beach at Makrigialos offered by Mesodokia homes is simply the best. With stunning views and a safe environment for children, it's the perfect spot to enjoy a day out in the sun.
