Vagia Beach
This is a sandy beach next to a picturesque harbor. The café/bar Aerides next to the beach rents sun beds and umbrellas, and serves coffee, drinks, and bites all day long. A few pine trees provide much-needed shade, and there's easy parking nearby. The taverna is also open during winter weekends, with lunch and dinner served by a fireplace. Look for an even quieter stretch of beach at the right side of the harbor. Amenities: food and drink; parking (no fee). Best for: solitude; swimming; walking.
