Highlights
- Visit Paleochora places Krios at approximately 10 km west of Paleochora.
- An older local cycling source describes it as about 8 km each way; we therefore show a transparent range until our own GPS trace is recorded.
- Krios consists of adjacent coves, with a more organised eastern section and a quieter western area.
