VLYHADA BEACH
The most impressive beach
on the island. Imposing white rocks, masterpieces of nature carved into
extraordinary shapes by the winds, as if Gaudi had droped in for a swim
here before designing the Pedrera.
Althought it has the usual lounge
chairs, canteen and taverna, the restless waves and rugged rocks give the
place a wild, remote feel and there are fewer people here than at other
beaches. Ideal for lovers. The old tomato - processing plant, now used for
wedding receptions, completes the "lunar" atmosphere. You can drive here
along a proper asphalt road.
It could be the sunlight reflected off
these white rocks which makes people tan here faster than on any other
beach on the island . There is mini market on the road just before you
arrive at the beach. |

AMOUDI BEACH
Two picturesque coves
where traditional fishermen's bouts remind you of simpler times. This is a
place to come to eat at one of fish tavernas. For swim try and make it
early in the morning or late afternoon because the beaches are small and
become crowded during the middle of the day
If you want to swim at
Amoudi, the best place is the rocks behind the lighthouse. You can also go
across to the little church of Ai-Giorgi
Petamatou.
ASPRI
You'll get here by boat from Akrotiri or Kokkini
- unless you are into rock climbing! Fine, black sand, pumice stone and
gray - white pebbles in the shadow of the tall, white rocks.
The most
impressive of these is to be seen from the boat, in the narow strait
you'll pass trough as you arrive at the beach - have your camera ready.
It's small beach, but with crystal clear water. A few lounging chairs and
parasols, no crowds. |

Vourvoulos beach is
for those who value peace and quiot more than natural beaty. More of
a cove than a beach, with a just few lounging chairs and bushes.
Here and there moorings for the fishermen's boats have been cut into
dark rocks. At the end of black peeble beach lies a picturesque
litlle harbor with fishing boats and ducks.
