💡 Tips
- Make sure to bring water shoes, as the expansive beaches here are entirely pebbled.
- Early mornings offer the calmest, most crystal-clear water for a peaceful swim.
- Rent a sunbed from one of the beach bars; usually, buying a coffee is enough to secure it for the whole day.
- Take a short trip up to Lake Tsivlou in the nearby mountains for a beautiful change of scenery.

Grab a quick, authentic bite from the traditional grill houses near the main square.
Enjoy the catch of the day at the family-run tavernas situated right on the waterfront.

Pick up fresh bread and sweet pitas from the local family-run bakeries early in the day.
Walk away from the central hubs to find a much quieter spot for solitary sunbathing.
