Navigational Aids
It is one out of the best three coastal destinations. Melidoni beach lies in the southwest of the island and is connected by dirt road to the village of Drimonas.
Swimming in Kapsali beach is a treat: you get magnificent views of Chytra and the castle of Chora. The beach is organized with umbrellas, deck chairs and water bikes.
There are two beaches named Firi Ammos on the island. The first and most famous is in the southeast, near the village of Kalamos.
Komponada is one of the wildest beaches on the east part of the island. Located between Firi Ammos of Kalamos and Kaladi, it has large pebbles and very deep waters.
About 4 kilometers away from the village of Kalamos, after you pass a dirt road, you will reach the small cove of Vroulea. Its small port overlooks the islets Kapelo and Koufo.
Next to the port and beach of Kapsali lies the hidden beach of Sparagario. It is located in the end of the stream coming from Chora, between two steep slopes, like a canyon.
The beach of Palaiopolis is the largest on the island. It lies between the village of Avlemonas and the settlement of Skandia.
In the picturesque village of Avlemonas you can swim in the small creek at the center of the village. An ideal swimming choice for children as the area is surrounded with places where adults can have a meal, drink or coffee while attending the young swimmers.
Between Kaladi and Komponada is the beach of Vlychada. There is a dirt road to the beach but it is very rough even for off-road vehicles.
At the entrance of Chora take the dirt road on the right; it will lead you to Feloti. The road is very dangerous and requires attention but the scenery will surprise you, as large rocks that slumped from the mountain of Agia Elessa have randomly set up on the slope.
