If you have enough time, visit all the beaches on the island
because they are unique.

*after noting that Psathi is also a beach,

 

With car and course from Chorio to A and B you will encounter:

  • Rema: near Chorio a natural swimming pool with an excellent scenery
    provided by the rocks, Rematonisia and “Sirmata” (caves, carved into
    the soft rock where they keep the boats during the winter).
    Lee shore, next to the Goupa settlement suitable for people of all ages.

    Aspragremna are excellent for artistic photographs. You will have the
    opportunity to see the ancient city and the tombs.
    Mavrospilia will be an unforgettable experience.

If you happen to be in possession of a sea craft or you decide to make the trip round the island
in a trawler or the sea taxi you can visit the following beaches, if the weather allows it
because they are open to north winds:

  • Gerakia Cave: This is not a beach, but an exotic cave at the promontory of Gerakia.
    You can dive from the boat to wonderful turquoise waters and you can “explore”,
    walking through the shallow waters, the cave.

  • Agioklima (with a hot spring flowing at the waterside), Therma, Mersinia,
    Zefokalamo
    and almost any bay you will encounter.

Of course, if you have a sea craft Kimolos has a lot more opportunities for swimming at various locations.
Whenever you like the scenery dive in without fear and enjoy the sparkling waters.
