It is hard to believe: even after 30 years, the following quote from the Stiftung Warentest is still valid for the real Greek city of Kakovatos on western Peloponnes: 'Also the most beautiful beaches of western Peloponnese are not crowded: here you will find tranquillity and peace.' (from the test SH III-IV/76 the Stiftung Warentest). A kilometer long sand beach from the north to the south and further along the city invites you to go jogging, horseback riding, surfing, swimming and relaxing. The city has a center with a platia, church, cafes, restaurants and all shopping facilities. The food in the local taverns is good and a bargain compared to the other tourist, more lively cities. There are no huge hotels or mass tourism. Only a few holiday homes and apartments in the village and on the edge of the villa are rented out by the locals.
