Located just over 2km from the authentic Greek fishing village of Agia Efimia, Avaton is an ideal base for experiencing traditional island life whilst also being within easy proximity of the famous Mrytos Beach (7.2km), with its dramatic cliff tops, white pebbles and turquoise waters, and Antisamos with its array of water sports. Agia Efimia is home to a pretty harbour which has been tastefully preserved and maintains its traditional character to this day. Here you can enjoy a meal in one of the many family run tavernas or waterside cafés, all serving delicious Greek delicacies such as moussaka and souvlaki, as well as the catch of the day. Fishing boats and rental boats alike are a plenty within the marina. Alternatively, stroll down one of the jasmine scented backstreets with bakeries and gift shops. For those days when you can prise yourself away from the wonderful infinity pool, the seashores of Lithovatis (Paradise Beach), the secluded Sikidi Bay and Kapsolimionas Beach are just a short drive away. Other significant places of interest to visit include the sparkling Melissani Lake (9km) and the mesmerizing Drogarati Caves (14km).
