⛱️ Sunbeds & umbrellas🤿 Good snorkelling👨👩👧 Family-friendly
Not one beach but a run of small sandy coves eight kilometres south of Pigadia, each with a few sunbeds, a taverna and clear shallow water over rock and sand. This is where most of the island's hotel beds are, because the bays are sheltered, the swimming is easy and the airport is ten minutes away. Good snorkelling on the rocks between the coves.
