Trade-off
Shipwreck-Beach country — Volimes village inland, Porto Vromi launch point.
The dramatic north-west cliffs and the Navagio Bay viewpoint sit above villages like Anafonitria and Volimes. Stay here only if you want quiet inland life and easy access to boat tours; there are no resort hotels and no nightlife. Most visitors day-trip from elsewhere.
