The ocean was decent, but not exceptional. The cost of the umbrellas was excessive without justification.

This beach may be small, but it's absolutely stunning. Despite its proximity to the port, the water is crystal clear and the sand is not the typical variety found on most beaches. It's recommended that you bring your own umbrella, as the ones available at the beach bar are quite expensive. However, aside from that, the beach bar is excellent.

6 Pleasant

The beach is average, with a small area available for placing your umbrella due to the private beach bar occupying most of the space. Considering the many excellent beaches on the island, it's not worth spending your time here, especially since it's located next to the island's port. Instead, you should try Episcopi, or even better, Apokrousi and Kolona if you prefer the West Side of the island.

This beach is really nice and it's the best one close to Merichas. You can easily walk there from the port town in about 10 minutes. They have a great beach bar and it's definitely worth going there to see the gorgeous sunset views.

We didn't get to explore the island much due to a heatwave and having a small child with us, so we stayed in Merichas. However, we made sure to spend our evenings at Martinakia beach, which was perfect for snorkeling and watching the sunset. We even brought our own food and had a picnic on the beach, which was really enjoyable.
