A beautiful summer vacation destination in Greece
The village of Tolo was settled in 1834 by Cretan fighters during the revolution by decision of the first governor of Greece I. Kappodistrias. The old fishing village was founded on a beach that stretches along the beautiful southeast coast of the Argolic gulf start with the name 'Minoa' taking it's name from the King of Crete. The surviving refugees in the region established the charming fishing village that would later be known as Tolo in 1916 following the recapture of Crete.
