A favorite vacation spot for island inhabitants in the past, a much sought-after resort for both locals and visitors today, Tigaki, known for its wetlands area that is part of the Natura 2000 protected regions network as a site where migrating birds can safely stop over, offers a wide variety of holiday options thus earning it a reputation as one of the island’s top tourist resort areas.
Larger hotels or smaller bed and breakfast facilities, restaurants with international cuisine and refined tastes side-by-side with “tavernas” serving fresh traditional fare are available for all tastes and budgets.
There is no shortage of choice for water sports fanatics at Tigaki either, while its long, sandy, well-organized beach naturally attracts families with children.
