This beach lies just beyond the typical bus route, yet it still holds a strong presence. Unlike the more popular beaches, it is not overrun with crowds, allowing for a more peaceful and serene experience. The nearby taverna is staffed with friendly and accommodating individuals who provide excellent service. The journey to this hidden gem is a breeze, with no steep inclines or treacherous terrain to navigate.

Kehria beach

The beach offers stunning views. It is recommended to rent a hammock, as the beach itself is not in the best condition.

Paralia Megali Ammos
8 Jada Kline

The town beach is quite pleasant, with pristine water and plenty of sports activities available. Additionally, there are bars and restaurants located right on the beach. If you're interested in lounging, a pair of chairs will set you back around 8-10€.
