Stoupa’s major draw is its palm fringed sandy Kalogria beach whose blue-turquoise water offers great opportunities for scuba divers, swimmers and surfers. The most incredible thing about this beach are the presence of cold water springs bubbling inside the sea so you can actually feel the temperature changing while swimming and especially in the early morning the water gets chillingly cold and very refreshing. Standing on the cliff and overlooking the beach is the life size statue of Nikos Kazantzakis, who wrote ‘Zorba The Greek’ while he lived here. Walk down the roads of the village which are lined with old houses, and beautiful churches which will impress you with their intricate architectural styles. Just a short distance from Stoupa holiday homes and apartments is a string of small shops and boutiques where you can satisfy your love for shopping spree by buying some lovely embroidered fabrics, leather wear, ceramic items, and beautiful souvenirs, and gift items.
