Beach overall scores
Apothyka beach (Northern Aegean) is located outside the Trachylia 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 Chios island, 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
"This beach is a peaceful spot to unwind and take in the beautiful sunset. You can easily order drinks from the beach and they will be delivered by pulley. The water is crystal clear and surprisingly warm, even during our September visit. The cool breeze is refreshing and there isn't any strong wind to worry about. It's a great spot to go for a swim or take a kayak out."

"The beach is absolutely stunning, and the best part is that it's open to the public for free. There are no words to describe how beautiful it is."
