    Hiking

    The beautiful sandy beach is much larger than you would expect after the short hike through the gorge. However, it does not offer a lot of shade, so you should take sunscreen with you. And of course, be sure to pack your bathing suit.

    If you don't want to hike through the gorge, you can also get to Trachoulas Beach by boat. At the port of Agios Faulos there are excursion boats that head for the beach and stop there for a swim.

    Hiking

    A beautiful, but in the heat a little strenuous, path through a small gorge to a really beautiful beach. The highlight is the natural pool at the eastern end.

    Hiking

    The beach with small pebbles and sand is surprisingly long, with a rocky part in the middle. In the eastern part there are some caves (one of which is apparently even inhabited) that provide shade. The water is crystal clear and it quickly gets deep near the rock walls. There are no trees, no vegetation and no tavern.
    The rocks have the shape of sculptures from another time, here you feel like you are on another planet - hence the name Dragon Bay.
