Filaki beach

Aria Kallias
This beach is an excellent choice for those who prefer to bask in the sun without any clothing. Our stay with our caravan for three days was truly incredible! The serene atmosphere and distance from the bustling city made for a peaceful experience. The restaurant on the premises offers a wide range of meals from breakfast to dinner, however, it does close early, so it's advisable to bring along some snacks. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing vacation.
