The Yrmini Thermal Springs (also known as the Springs of Yrmina) and Kounoupeli Beach are located near the village of Manolada (municipality of Andravida-Kyllini). These places are known for their combination of natural beauty, ancient mythology, and healing properties, although they are considered something of a hidden gem today. The springs have a long history and are named after the ancient Queen Yrmina, who, according to legend, bathed there to cure a rare illness. The thermal water originates from a cave, which is considered a geologically significant biotope. The mineral-rich water has traditionally been used to relieve muscle and joint pain.

The beach is located near Strofylia National Park, a significant nature reserve with pine forests and lagoons. The area is popular for cycling and hiking through the park's unspoiled landscape. Unlike the more touristy beaches such as Paralia Katerini, Konoupeli is considered a quieter spot, often frequented by locals and nature lovers.

The Holy Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Greek: lerós Naós Koimíseos tís Theotókou) in the small town of Vartholomio is a very large and imposing Orthodox church with a striking dome. Immediately next to the church stands a tall, freestanding clock and bell tower. The church is located in the center of Vartholomio on a large, paved square.

The famous umbrella pine forest of Strofylia is the largest of its kind in Greece and one of the most important in Europe. The umbrella pine forest (Pinus pinea) is recognizable by its distinctive, umbrella-shaped crown. The forest covers approximately 2,200 hectares along the coast between wetlands and the sea. It is home to trees that are between 100 and 200 years old. In addition to umbrella pines, Aleppo pines and oaks can also be found there. The forest provides habitat for numerous animals such as tortoises, foxes, weasels, and rare reptiles like the Mauritanian gecko (Tarentola mauritanica).

The Paralia Arkoudi is about 400 meters long, gently sloping and is monitored by lifeguards.

The charming fishing port, known as Lonino (Little Port), is located near Kyllini (Elis region), an important ferry hub for the Ionian Islands. It is a typical small Greek port with fishing boats and small yachts.

The southern entrance is located on a quiet country road that leads directly into the characteristic pine forests. The park stretches for approximately 25 km from Cape Araxos in the north to the Lechaina salt marshes in the south.

The Strofylia Forest (Greek: Στροφυλιά) is a significant nature reserve. It is part of the Kotychi-Strofylia National Park and is known as the largest pine forest in the country. The forest consists mainly of stone pines (Pinus pinea), known for their characteristic umbrella-shaped crowns, as well as Aleppo pines (Pinus halepensis) and oaks. It covers an area of approximately 2,200 hectares along a coastal strip between lagoons (such as Kotychi and Prokopos) and the Ionian Sea. The area is a mosaic of forest, sand dunes, and wetlands. It serves as an important refuge for numerous animal species, including tortoises, foxes, and a variety of migratory birds.
