The Sun and the Golden Sand… Enjoy!
Prassonisi
Prassonisi is laved by the sea from two sides. The waters often unite covering the ground and thus, creating a sight of rare beauty. Depending on the direction of the… wind, one side may be calm and the other tempestuous. This beach is not ideal so much for swimming as for water sports, especially surfing. Hundreds of surfers gather each year from around the world and enjoy the ideal conditions, offered by Prassonisi. The spectacle is quite impressive, even for those not keen on the sport. The sky is filled with kitesurfing kites and equipment is available for rent, on the spot.
Ixia
The huge, 8-kilometer long beach known as Ixia, combines sand and large, white pebbles. According to most of the visitors preferring it, it is the coolest beach on the island, as etesian winds blow during summer months. Some take advantage of the fact and enjoy water sports such as windsurfing.
Kolymbia
The beach can be reached from the village, after having walked about 2km under the shade of tall eucalyptus trees. Charming coves with golden sand and crystal clear waters, invite visitors, while if they are lucky enough, they can observe the beautiful peacocks, which stroll freely on the beach!
Ladiko/Anthony Quinn
In Ladiko area, there is a small, but charming beach, inside a peaceful cove. It is probably one of the most picturesque beaches of the island. In the next cove we find the “Anthony Quinn” beach. It was here, where scenes from the film “The Guns of Navarone” were filmed, starring the famous actor.
Lindos
Lindos is famous not only for its traditional settlement, its ancient acropolis and its significant archeological site, but also for its beautiful beaches. The landscape is amphitheatric, with the acropolis… dominating the scenery from above, while the snow white settlement slithers all the way up to the castle. Swimming in the emerald waters and feasting your eyes on the view in front of you, is the experience of a lifetime.
