Gialiskari Beach (Anidri Beach)

Highlight • Beach

Hiking trails lead along the rugged Anidri Gorge. Follow the paths, and they'll lead you to the hidden gem of Gialiskari Beach. With crystal-clear waters and a tranquil atmosphere, Gialiskari Beach is the perfect haven for a refreshing swim or a serene day by the sea. You can rent deckchairs and there's a beach bar.

View of Ancient Lissos and Lissos Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, you get a wonderful view of ancient Lissos and the bay. The hike, whether up or down, is a bit on the steep side but doable. In Lissos, there's a nice picnic spot and a drinking water fountain. Expect the sun to be scorching and come prepared for hot weather.

Kandouni Plateau

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The high plateau offers a great view of the coast and the mountains in the hinterland. Since there is little shade, you should not necessarily be out in the midday sun or well protected. From the high plateau, a path leads down to the ancient Lissos and Lissos Beach.
