The last beach is a long coastline and is located opposite a small island, Sokastro. All three beaches are very special and will leave you completely satisfied.

Diakofti beach - 28.1 km
There is also an impressive beach in the Afiarti area that is visited every year by both tourists and residents of the island. Diakofti beach is a top destination for your vacation days as it is located in a nature reserve. You will be enchanted by the view from the very first moment. The pure white sand and turquoise water will make you believe you are not on a Greek island, but in an exotic place. Apart from its wonderful beauty, it also has shallow waters that anyone can swim in, especially small children. The sand, the rocks and the cedars form a line that divides the coast into two halves and enhances this magical place even more. However, access to the beach is not so easy. It is accessed via a 3-kilometer dirt road, which does not present many obstacles for those who want to visit it. However, there is a refreshment stand and umbrellas on the beach, so you don't have to carry a lot of stuff until you get to the beach.
