Makri Gialos Beach (4 Comments) A pebbly beach in a beautiful setting well away from the main resorts so it rarely gets busy. |
St Nicholas Beach Nth (1 Comment) Not to be confused with St Nicholas in Vassilikos, this is a handy stopover place when visiting the Shipwreck or the Blue Caves, or even while waiting for a ferry to Kefalonia. |
Xigia Beach (4 Comments) A stunning little beach famous for the aroma of 'bad eggs'. It's sulphur escaping from the surrounding rocks apparently! |
