Panteli is the traditional fishermen's
village. Its unique atmosphere made it the most popular
place for the locals as well with the tourists. Small taverns and cafes
next to the sea, fishing boats along with Luxury yachts, fishermen
knitting their nets. Once you are in Panteli you fell like home, the
locals keep there lives in harmony without any affection from the summer
tourist crowds ,you will always get a kalimera (good morning) or gia sou
(hello) no matter if you ever meet them before, you can as well be
invited for a glass of ouzo or retsina in the local cafe's or taverns
just for the sake of a good companionship. This hospitable mentality
occurs the whole Greece and the Greek islands and as far as I'm
concerned it's one of the main factors that attracts tourism in Greece
apart from the Sunshine and the perfect Mediterranean climate
