Kaminaki beach

Wow

Maridaki beach
10 Lila Thompson

This picturesque beach is truly breathtaking. It's tucked away in a secluded cove within the mountains, making it feel like a hidden gem. To reach this oasis, we embarked on a 30-minute hike from the nearby village of Tsousoros, where we were greeted by stunning views of the landscape and playful goats along the way. The crystal-clear water was a bit chilly due to the mountain stream, but it was incredibly refreshing after our trek. The pebble beach is small and intimate, and we were the only tourists there, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. We were delighted to discover an abundance of little fish and can't wait to return with our snorkels and masks for a closer look.

Paralia Listi
10 Ryvexia

This beach is truly amazing. It's a peaceful spot that's not too crowded. The beach itself is a mix of sand and rocks, and there are some trees for shade, but it's a good idea to bring an umbrella. The water is crystal clear and the beach is clean. It's about a 5-7 minute hike from the parking area, but it's not too difficult or risky. And please, if you visit, be sure to take your trash with you when you leave.

Krassas beach
10 Nikos Katsaros

This secluded beach is accessible via a steep and difficult path, taking around five minutes to traverse.

Skouros beach
10 Andrew Larkenby.

This beach is truly stunning, with an abundance of trees providing lovely natural shade. It's a peaceful spot, not too busy with people, and at the far end of the beach, clothing is optional.
