A wonderful location, though some of the residents might not be the sharpest. The area offers a plethora of delicious yet affordable food choices. The blend of mountains and sea gives this place a unique charm. Make sure to sample all dishes featuring eggplants.

Leonidio is a rock climbing place but it is also a lovely town. You need to go into the middle of the town to enjoy it, and it is not really near the sea. We prefered Poulithra which is just along the coast from Leonidio.

Leonidio is an attractive place for climbers and people who love the beach. It is also a great place for people who just look for a relaxing beautiful environment. The local people are VERY welcoming and warm. They will help you with anything you need. There are many options to walk in the area or take a short drive to the villages nearby. The smell of the orange and lemon trees is filling the air wherever you go. If you want to do some good you can volunteer to take stray dogs for a walk. The food is fresh and great and the cost is very reasonable. The narrow alleys are not easy to drive in but the local people have their way of dealing with that. They give a short honk at the beginning of each narrow road and the drivers are waiting for them to leave the alley so they can drive through it. This arrangement is so beautiful to see, they are so relaxed and kind to each other. The buildings are a mix of old and new but everything is SO CLEAN. There isn't a piece of paper on the ground. Make sure to have breakfast at the Kasseta bar and return later for a drink. Giannis is a the coolest kindest barman. Check out the metal artist I missed. Loved Leonidio so much.....if you didn't get it by now :-)

We weren't there because od climbing as it's typical for this place, but this place is very beatiful only for walking through the town and relax at cafes. This small town has genius loci. You can meet old man with komboi at the restaurants.

Beautiful folklore small town where you can find everything from noisy cafes to complete isolation. Tasteful economic meals in Mouria Restaurant with traditional greek cuisine that we enjoyed a lot!!! Nice scenery, beautiful beach nearby, unique landscape. Driving to Leonidio is a bit hard after the town of Nauplio (around 80 kilometers) due to many curves but the result when arriving there makes it definitely worthwhile. Didn't spend enough time to be able to provide more details but the overall impression was very very good.

The friendliness and helpfulness of everyone we met were exceptional. The town has great fruit/veg shops, bakeries, butchers etc as well as two reasonably stocked supermarkets. The Rodomelo shop sold great local products and had a particularly friendly atmosphere. The Panjika Cooperative was particularly good for climbers with a modest equipment shop and a great cafe. As climbers interested in the lower end of the grade spectrum we found the local guidebook useful but rather undergraded, as pointed out in the Greece sport climbing guide.
