Mourtia Beach
Μουρτιά
🤿 Good snorkelling
Out past Vathy on the exposed north-east coast, down a steep track with a drop on one side. Pebbles, deep clear water, a seasonal canteen if you are lucky and nothing else. The reward is swimming with the Turkish mountains filling the horizon and almost nobody else on the beach.
