Reached either from Svoronata or Kaligata, Avithos beach is a long, sandy and relatively under-populated beach with extremely gently shelving waters which are ideal for swimming. The view is enhanced by a couple of rocky outcrops which appear to be floating on the sea, on one of which there is a solitary church. We have never had it adequately explained why!

There is a nice small beach bar, and there are two tavernas set a little back, the nearer serving fine quality traditional Greek fare, and the farther having been recently refurbished in a very modern style.

There is little to criticise about Avithos, except that in the height of the season it can be busy, and of course that it's something of a trek to get there.

Pluses

Sandy beach. Great swimming. Good facilities.

Minuses

A little difficult to find and/or get to.
