Tips

Just 1 km north of Agia Pelagia beach. According to tradition, a ship was sunk here once and only one sailor survived. This story gave the name Mononaftis to the beach, which means "One Sailor". However, Mononaftis is a huge rock located just 50 meters offshore.

The beach is located in the northern part of the peninsula of Agia Pelagia and is protected from the (common) north winds as it heads east. This feature makes Mononaftis and the surrounding beaches popular among the locals.
