In the past Latchi served as a small port for shipping carobs. The old stone carob warehouses have been converted into restaurants, fish taverns and shopping places.
The Latchi fishing harbour (now featuring a new, enlarged capacity Marina) is the favourite spot on the island for those in the know...while the area in general offers an abundance of options making this not just a holiday destination but a year-long enjoyment. Ancient monasteries, traditional villages, wineries, beautiful beaches, forests, mountain walks and cycle rides.. you take your pick.
