Seychelles Beach (Ikaria)

37° 33.6′ N · 26° 8.4′ E

Perhaps Ikaria's most exotic beach: a secluded pebble cove of white rock and electric-blue water just past the Manganitis tunnel, with a large sea cave in the little cove next door.

Practical

No facilities on the beach. Steep path of medium difficulty down a riverbed from the main road (sturdy shoes), or a water taxi from Manganitis port when running; organised summer day trips also come from Armenistis and Agios Kirykos. Exposed south-facing coast - from a yacht, visit only in calm weather.

Turquoise-water day trip
