Where to Stay

•  The Orloff Resort in the Old Harbour
•  Someone’s yacht
•  Someone’s room to rent (they will find you, as you come off the boat)

Beaches

Sandy beaches, secluded bays. As with much in Greek islands, always best to explore by boat, if that’s an option – and here, you can, even if you don’t have one of your own, because there are taxi boats.

•  Aghia Marina, about 2km south of Dapia (the main village) is sandy, has
   watersports, tavernas etc and can be reached by taxi boat, on foot or by
   bus. It can get crowded, due to the convenience of the location.
•  Zogeria with its pine forest setting
•  Aghia Paraskevi, with its long bay, sand and pebbled beach – and
   watersports…hmm.
•  Vrellos (Paradise Beach) from where you can walk to the highest point of the
    island, Profitis Ilias.
•  Agioi Anargiroi has a large sand and pebbled “developed” beach with deep
   water. Good for water sports. Good tavernas a bit in land.
•  Xilokeriza, one of the least-developed beaches on the island, reachable by
   taxi boat. Sand, pebbles and a small taverna.
•  Ligoneri – the colourful, with its multi-coloured pebbles, crystal blue waters
   and pale sand.
