Sights & Beauties of North Evia
A visit to North Evia and the unspoiled beach of Kanatadika, where Aenaon Studios is located, is bound to change your priorities.
Discover Kanatadika
Kanatadika, a beautiful picturesque settlement right on the waterfront, took its name from the pottery workshops (kanatia) that once operated in the area. Traditional stone-built workshops have been transformed into elegant manor houses. The 5 km long beach stretches out in front, with the crystal-clear blue waters of the Evian Gulf.
A place blessed by nature and protected under the NATURA 2000 network.
The local tavernas and small cafés serve delicious mezedes paired with traditional wine and tsipouro. Don't miss the fresh fish, local meats, and the house specialty: grilled sardines.
On the beach, just a few meters from our accommodation, you can enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear sea and relax under the complimentary umbrellas and sunbeds.
