Karfas Beach
Καρφάς
⛱️ Sunbeds & umbrellas👨👩👧 Family-friendly
The closest thing Chios has to a resort beach: fine sand, shallow water, sunbeds, hotels and tavernas, seven kilometres south of town and five minutes from the airport. It is the practical choice for a family that wants to walk to dinner, and it is busy in August by Chios standards, which is to say not very.
