An exquisite location that provides the perfect escape from the mundane routine of everyday life. However, when compared to Russian standards, the services offered outside of the tour package may seem a bit pricey. For instance, the cost of lunch amounts to an average of 15 euros per person. Additionally, renting a car can be quite costly. Despite these factors, the relaxation and tranquility offered by this beach is unparalleled. Furthermore, there are plenty of attractions to explore and enjoy.

I recently strolled along the Agios Nikolaos promenade and was pleasantly surprised by the array of accommodations and charming shops selling local delicacies and souvenirs. The area boasts not one, but two stunning beaches, where one can rent equipment for scuba diving and explore the depths of the crystal-clear waters. The promenade itself is a picturesque spot to take in the breathtaking vistas of the Mirabello Bay.

We visited this stunning beach from Hersonissos on numerous occasions. The crystal-clear water and pebble beach are truly breathtaking, and the pier offers a great spot for snorkeling. For just 7 euros, we were able to rent two sun loungers and an umbrella, making for a comfortable day spent by the sea. The beach also offers diving opportunities, and we were lucky enough to spot a variety of fish, including an octopus and some crabs. The water is exceptionally clear, showcasing the stunning natural beauty of the area. It's no wonder this beach has been awarded a blue flag - it truly is a must-visit destination.

This cozy little beach is adorned with pebbles and boasts crystal clear waters. A refreshing shower is available for beach-goers to rinse off after a dip. For those seeking adventure, diving is an option with skilled instructors providing guidance. Families with young ones may prefer the sandy beach, which is a short distance away. The instructors are exceptional at their job, ensuring everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.
