The last bay on the south-west coast, a wide shallow sandy beach below the ruined Agiassos tower, with a couple of tavernas and almost no development.

Practical

mySea gives 6-10 m at this spot. Sailingissues: solid holding in sand, but watch the offshore islets and reefs. Greeka: sheltered from the strong winds, shallow and clear, good for snorkelling. No sunbeds. Vrahia restaurant/bar is on the waterfront, tel +30 22850 75053 (Greeka). In southerly winds it becomes a kitesurf spot (Greeka), so it is exposed to the south. Agiassos Tower ruins are at 36.97493, 25.42092 (OSM).
