About Lidario & the far south
The far side of Ai Stratis is a country of stone walls, rocky hills and the odd lone tree, with no village and almost no one in it. Its beaches are reached by long dirt tracks, by caique from the harbour or on foot: Lidario, about 9 km away, a beach of sand and black pebbles with natural shade, about an hour and a half's walk; and Ftelio and Fragkou further on, of the same sand and pebbles. This is where people camp on the beach in summer.
