Lagu sits in a valley below the town of Gargalianoi, where the olive groves end and the Aleppo pine forest begins. A single road — the only private access on this stretch of coast — runs through the plot and down to the beach, twenty metres away.

Ten kilometres south, Costa Navarino has invested EUR 2.5 billion proving that this coast works at the highest level. Lagu is what that coastline looked like before any of it was built.
