Kritsa: Discover the Charm of Its Picturesque Alleys

Kritsa is among the villages where the classic Greek film ‘The Fairy and the Lad’, featuring Aliki Vougiouklaki and Dimitris Papamichael, was filmed. Its breath-taking beauty serves as a testament to why this picturesque location was selected for shooting this iconic piece of Greek cinema.

Kritsa, situated southwest of Agios Nikolaos, is not only the largest village in the region but also the oldest administrative centre of the municipality. It holds a special place in terms of folklore and archaeological significance, offering a glimpse into a rich historical past.

The ancient city of Lato, adorned with Byzantine churches, charming alleys, and traditional houses, transports you back in time. Thriving even in the present day, it warmly welcomes visitors and provides them with the opportunity to stroll through its narrow streets, purchase local products and traditional handicrafts.
