Nos Beach

Νος

⛱️ Sunbeds & umbrellas🤿 Good snorkelling

Nos is the swim you take when you are staying in Gialos and cannot be bothered with a boat: ten minutes on the paved path north past the clock tower and the boatyards, and you are there. It is small — a strip of pebbles, some concrete platforms and ladders into deep, very clear water — with a bar and sunbeds above. The water drops away quickly, which is good for snorkelling and less good for toddlers. It catches the afternoon sun, so it is the local spot for a late swim before dinner.
