Mersinidi Beach
Παραλία Μυρσινίδι
🤿 Good snorkelling
Below the monastery of Panagia Myrtidiotissa on the east coast, a small shingle beach with the white monastery buildings on the rock above it. Quiet, no facilities, clear water, and an easy stop fifteen minutes out of Chios town on the road towards Vrontados and Langada.
