Latest reviews on Icaria island's beaches

Paralia Livadi
10 Julian Jansen.

This beach nestled in remote Iraklia is a true gem. The beach is situated in a cove and boasts a generous expanse of pristine white sand. I personally rate it as superb due to its wild and untamed nature. When the Melteni wind picks up, it adds an extra layer of excitement, akin to adding spice to a delicious dish. I even managed to capture some breathtaking photos from the top of the hill at Paralia.

The beach may not be meticulously arranged, but it is conveniently reachable by car and boasts a plentiful supply of trees that provide ample shade. My experience was thoroughly enjoyable and I found myself particularly fond of this location.
