Ok

Paralia Chiou

The beach is filled with an abundance of stones, making it quite challenging for us to access. I highly recommend wearing beach shoes if you plan on visiting.

Mirsinidi Beach
6 Max Rendos

This public beach is great, although it doesn't have any facilities. It's a peaceful spot and I particularly enjoyed the stunning views of Turkey and the Mirsinidi monastery.

Emporios beach

Volcanic rocks, pristine waters, and fantastic nearby taverns - what else could you ask for?!
