Against the background of the blue sea and the mountains of Parnon, Tyros, in the prefecture of Arcadia, has three settlements: Ano, Kato and Paralia Tyros, where tourism has developed a lot in recent years. In fact, it is one of the most beautiful seaside places for family vacations.
On the seaside you can see a bicycle to make the route. There it is worth sitting down to eat in the taverns that have fresh fish straight from the trawlers. In fact, directly opposite is Spetses where they are only 16 nautical miles away.
In Ano Tyros, which is located on the slopes of Mount Parnon, there are nice hiking trails. There, most of the houses have kept the canine elements of their architecture. Ano Tyros is particularly picturesque, built amphitheatrically on a mountainside overlooking the sea.
A stop for swimming is worth making at Tigani beach, as the waters are crystal clear and shallow enough for children.
