- The Kokkinokastro (Red Castle)
The deep green beach of Kokkinokastro, the red sand and red rocks, in harmony with nature, stretching out behind with the colourful stones that create a magical landscape. To get to the beach you have to descend around 65 steps. The view, however, will more than compensate you.
- The Golden Apple Tree
One of the beaches nearest to the island’s main village (chora). Fine sand and turquoise waters are what distinguish it. Here you can enjoy various activities in the water, such as water sports. It is has a shallow seabed and is absolutely suitable for families.

- Russoum Gialos
An amazing beach with white pebbles and clear blue waters. After you’ve taken a dive or three you can enjoy lunch at its beach tavernas. There is also a harbour for small boats. Its name “rusum” means “duty” in Turkish, indicating that in the past duties were paid here for the export of local wine.
- The Megali Ammos (Big Sand)
Its name suggests that it’s a long sandy beach? In fact, it is a small, pebbly beach, which is surrounded by a wild landscape of incredible natural beauty.
