BEACHES
Beaches offering the possibility to swim in their crystal clear waters
It is possible to swim in the waters of Patitiri, on the beach west of the port. However, the sea and the beach are not very pleasant due to the large number of visitors. To swim nearby, it is better to prefer the beaches to the north-east of the city.
The beach Roussoum is very popular. It is located near Patitiri, close to many accommodations and taverns. Consequently, this beach with turquoise waters is often crowded..
A little higher up, the bay of Votsi is just 2 km from the port. Its pebble beach with clear waters is next to a quiet marina. It is a pleasant periphery of Patitiri, very appreciated. This beach is surrounded by beautiful rock formations and cliffs that plunge into the sea.
Beyond, the beach of Chrisi Milia is located 4 km from the capital. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available on this beautiful sandy beach. It is also possible to practice water sports. This stretch of turquoise water owes its name to its golden sand(chrisi means "golden" in Greek). It is bordered by a pine forest, and their shade is welcome in summer.
Then you will find the beach of Kokkinokastro ("red castle") with its beautiful red cliffs that offer a postcard setting. An islet called Kokkinonisi ("Red Island") or Vrahos ("Rock") is located just in front of the beach.
Finally, 6 km from Patitiri (or 30 minutes by caique), the pebble beach of Leftos Yalos is also organized with deckchairs and umbrellas, in addition to a good tavern that overlooks its crystal clear waters.
