Agios Minas
Άγιος Μηνάς
🤿 Good snorkelling
One of the remote bays on the east coast between Spoa and Olympos, with a chapel above it and no road worth driving. Boats from Pigadia and Diafani stop here on the coastal run in summer; by land it is a long, rough track. White pebbles, deep clear water, nobody. Take water and shade, and agree a pick-up time with the boat.
