When you visit it, you’ll compare it to the exotic beaches of the Caribbean. The environment is magical while it has a shallow sea with turquoise waters and fine golden sand. When the weather permits and there’s air, the area gathers a lot of surfers. Around the beach, there are 2 beach bars that provide snacks and cool drinks to enjoy your swim.
Italida
The most famous and one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. It is about 3 km from the town and as they say, it has the most transparent waters in all the Cyclades. The Italida can be described as a quiet beach, although in the summer time it is visited by many people.
Gala
It is an open cave that communicates with the sea through a narrow pass. It is 3 km from the town. It is called Gala from the foams that create the waves when they enter the inner of the cave. There you can hear the beautiful whisper that pebbles make when the water draws them. The route to Gala is in some parts difficult, but the view you will see once you reach the beach It’s worthy!
