HOREFTO ΧΟΡΕΥΤΟ
Eight kilometres downhill from Zagora, Horefto is a low-key resort with palm trees and a
long sandy beach. It's also the mythical home of Chiron, a roving centaur who healed the
sick in the days when doctors still made house calls. The main beach is very decent,
while isolated
Agia Serandabeach
fills a beautiful cove 2km south, with a simple doma-
tia and taverna nearby.
