Chios's most dramatic beach: a long sweep of glossy black volcanic pebbles under rocky hills, a short walk from Emporios cove.
Practical
No umbrellas or sunbeds; water is cold even in midsummer (greeka). Reached on foot from Emporios along the road past the archaeological site (CruisersWiki). Swell rolls in from the east.
Best for
A walk-and-swim from an Emporios anchorage
