kyra panaghia beach
A tourist and native favorite because it is close to the capital and absolutely beautiful. There are excursion boats every day to take you there from Pigadia. The beach is named after the Virgin Mary and is composed of golden sand with plenty of sun chairs, as well as plenty of room to stretch your towel out for free. There also is a rock that you can safely jump off of into the sea. The water there is fairly deep so you must be an excellent swimmer to swim here. There are two main restaurants and a few hotels, if you prefer to stay by the beach.
