Paralia Ag. Ioannis

Carter Johnson
This beach is small and peaceful, offering two excellent restaurants and fantastic opportunities for swimming.
Ftelia beach

Sarina Winsted
This seemingly idyllic and remote beach boasts a charming archaeological dig site nestled in its midst. The water is pristine and transparent, offering a refreshing respite from the scorching sun. However, don't let the picturesque facade fool you. The beach is marred by the unsavory presence of used condoms and discarded beer bottles and cans, which detract from the otherwise serene atmosphere. Additionally, be wary of the wind direction, as a shift from the north can transform the tranquil waters into a turbulent and choppy sea.
Agios Ioannis

Yaris Lontas
The water is clean and remains calm even when there is a North wind. There is ample parking available and two beach bars on-site.

While the beach certainly has its merits, the sand and winds can be quite unforgiving, detracting from the overall experience. The sunsets, on the other hand, are truly breathtaking. However, it's worth noting that the beach is not without its flaws - we encountered quite a bit of litter, including broken glass, which made walking on the sand a bit treacherous. To ensure safety, it's best to wear some form of footwear while exploring this particular beach.
