Skala Rachoni is a small and very slowly emerging beach community. It has a spectacular Greek Orthodox Church, a number of smaller hotels nestled among the olive groves, which border the coastline, numerous family run restaurants serving daily, fresh fish and local meat and vegetable dishes, as well as a number of rather trendy cafe bars and snack bars, which will amaze you with their eclectic musical choices in the background, as well as offering you a relaxing environment in which to enjoy the coffee or soft drink, while gazing out to sea at the outline of the mainland, 6 miles distant.

It offers a large supermarket with a very extensive range of groceries and household goods, petrol station, regular bus service, tennis, beach and water sports, as well as the opportunity to stroll in and amongst the silver grey-green of the olive groves, which are abundant because of the mild climate in this part of the island.

It is a resort which will be appeal to those who want a quiet and relaxed holiday, with access to beaches on the doorstep. All the beaches are soft sand and provide beds and umbrellas for people to laze, read, play cards, write their memoirs or just gaze out to sea, relaxed in the knowledge that they only have to think about wearing beach clothes with perhaps a cover up for the evenings, and then contemplating the trip to town, possibly once a week to catch up with the reality of the daily life in a small Greek town.
