Daytime parking, tight access
Eparchiaki Odos Kalamatas - Areopolis, 230 62, Itilo
Been here?
This is a daytime parking area at the end of the village, suitable for visiting the small seaside village and its beautiful bay. Access includes a very tight bend and a narrow dead-end road, with recent warnings for larger vehicles; 6 meters is the stated limit. There are no services, but restaurants are nearby. Parking is often busy during the day and forbidden at night.

Don’t drive down here; it’s too narrow and you won’t be able to turn back. The northern parking area is easy to use for visiting the little village.
Very good for visiting the little village. We arrived with our H3L3 without any problems.
Very beautiful place, with sun only in the morning. I was here in December and access with a long vehicle is very difficult.
Quiet place; we parked at 9 p.m. and left at 9 a.m. Nobody bothered us. Of course, our car is small and doesn’t attract attention. Nice view, right by the sea.
Beautiful place to spend the day admiring the lovely village and the magnificent colour of the water. We accessed it without problems in an L2H2 and parked in the shade. It is advisable to arrive early in high season.
A stunning bay, great for snorkelling. We were there in October and it was possible to stay with a campervan. Very narrow, not recommended for campervans over 6 metres; tight bend. Dead-end road. I don’t think it is accessible in summer.
Fine for spending the day; in the low season there was space. Overnight stays are forbidden. The water is magnificent, ideal for swimming and snorkelling!
We arrived here yesterday evening, around 8 p.m. in the off-season. Around midnight someone threw mandarins at the car. Twenty minutes later someone threw stones at the car. We left.
Very nice place to stay. Tight corner in the village but fine in our 5m van. It’s possible to drive even further down the road to the cemetery for a more secluded spot. A few locals came by but mostly we were alone. The village is lovely to walk around, there were a few restaurants open on Friday when we were there but most things are closed now. Water is so turquoise, looks beautiful for a swim.
Great place; at this time of year there are few people, so it is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. However, it is indeed very narrow in the village. We are 6 m long, and I think that is the maximum.
Beautiful, but contrary to a previous comment, there is a sign that forbids campers at the beginning of the lane. I'll try to add a picture
