Lychnistis beach

The beach is small and pleasant. There are two routes to get here, with one being slightly more rugged than the other. The longer route, which is shown on Google maps, is mostly paved but still has a short off-road section towards the end. In the summertime, the beach offers shaded areas starting from 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Kommos beach

The beach offers of amazing sand, and we specifically chose to sunbathe on the nudist part located in the middle, which was easily accessible from the south part. Although the sea can be a bit rough, it remains shallow. It is advisable to bring your own shade if necessary.

The rock pools provide a safe and educational environment for little ones to dip their toes and discover the wonders of the sea. The unique pebble beach is a refreshing change from traditional sandy shores, with plenty of shells to collect and admire. A small café and shower facilities are available for added convenience.
