It is difficult to reach this beach, which is 10 km from Mandraki. It is on the east side of the island and one can get there by the road after Paloi that passes in front of the Pantelidis’ Baths. There is asphalt up to a point and then dirt road all along the Lyes Beach. At the end of this road there is a car park from where it is a ten-minute walk on a quite difficult path in order to cross the high hills that hide the beach.
It is a very wide beach of around 350 meters. Its sand is very coarse and dark. Whoever wishes to visit it should bear in mind that there is no shade and that nudism is practiced.

Pali is the only harbor on the island suitable for yachts. Since the re-orientation of the harbor entrance in 2007, shelter here has improved significantly, the meltemi (the Etesians) no longer sending in the uncomfortable swell of years past.
Beach Katsouni is located 9 km east of Mandraki and a couple of km from Paloi. It is the largest beach of Nisyros and consists of sand, pebbles and rocks offering visitors a quiet refuge amidst the beautiful surrounding.
It is located on the northeast side of the island, east of Paloi, down the road that passes in front of the Pantelidis’ Baths. The beach starts about 3 km after Paloi, where the asphalt stops.
