Only two and a half hours from Athens airport, the village of Raptei offers a traditional way of life, long gone from most of Greece. It is well situated for walking and exploring yet close to spectacular beaches and lively cafes and tavernas. 5 kms away is the magnificent beach of Limnionas with wonderful snorkeling and excellent fish tavernas.10 kms away is the seaside town of Nea Styra, where there are many cafes, supermarkets and shops - post office bank etc. The area is interesting historically, not least for the famous prehistoric Dragon Houses of Styra. Karystos, one hour drive south of Raptei, is dominated by a Venetian castle and has a charming archaeological museum.
