Vathi beach

8 Sara Kinsley

We had a great time, but the path to the beach from the boat was quite rocky. Once we got there, the beach was a bit of a letdown - it was mostly pebbles and uncomfortable to walk on, so it's best to wear beach shoes.

Chomatistra beach

10 Nathan Scott

The beach is absolutely fantastic, provided that the wind doesn't blow from the north, which is usually the case, unfortunately. The water is crystal clear and pristine, offering an unparalleled experience. However, parking is limited in the vicinity, so it's best to plan ahead and arrive early to secure a spot.
