Beach overall scores
Agios Nikolaos beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Arkasa settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Karpathos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Agios Nikolaos beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"There is a lovely sandy beach located near Arkassa, which happens to be the only beach on the island that offers a Beachvolley Court. The beach restaurant is quite cool and refreshing. The waves are perfect for either jumping or learning to surf. Sunbeds and showers are available, as well as free parking. It's a beach that young people can truly enjoy and have fun at."
Harlan Miles
"The beach has a pleasant sandy shore with a bohemian atmosphere, offering large waves for surfing. It is not overly crowded, but the sunbeds can be quite expensive, costing 30 euros for two people."
