This beautiful spot features three adjacent bays, each with its own special appeal. The beaches boast soft, pale sand and stunningly clear turquoise waters, perfect for a refreshing swim or some snorkeling. The peaceful vibe is complemented by scattered palm trees that offer natural shade and a hint of tropical paradise. What’s more, these beaches are unspoiled and unorganized, allowing their natural beauty and tranquility to shine through. You can easily reach them via short trails from the nearby archaeological site of ancient Itanos, making it a great opportunity to enjoy both a beach day and a bit of history.
