Fanaraki Beach
Φαναράκι
👨👩👧 Family-friendly
A reddish-sand bay on the south coast by the village of the same name, with the sea cave known as the Seal's Cave in the cliffs at one end. It is shallow and sheltered, the sand has a distinct volcanic colour, and there is usually space even in August. Two smaller bays, Megalo and Mikro Fanaraki, sit immediately beside it if this one is taken.
