Shimmering blue waters surrounded by silky beaches will leave you bedazzled. The island’s entire coastline features beaches for all tastes. The more tourist-oriented and organised beaches (umbrellas, sunbeds, beach bars and tavernas) are on the western side of the island, but if you are looking for some peace and quiet head for the eastern and southern beaches.

The Kastraki beach is located just after Sahara and is a beautiful golden sandy beach with crystalline waters. A few accommodations can be found behind the beach.
