Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
North-coast beaches can be exposed to the
meltemi
(north wind), but
Panormos
and
Agios Sostis
with their golden sand are fairly sheltered and less busy than the south-
coast beaches.
For out-of-the-way beaches you'll need tough wheels to reach the likes of little
Lia
in
the southeast, or even smaller white-sand
Fokos
and
Mersini
in the northeast.
The nearest beaches to Hora, Malaliamos and Tourlos, 2km to the north of town, were
overtaken by the New Port. That leaves little
Agios Stefanos
(4km), within sight of
docking cruise ships.
