Santa Nero beach 4.8 The beach owes its unusual name to a flowing spring, where, according to legend, a priest choked many years ago (Pope Nero translates from the Greek as "priestly water"). The beach is quite long (about a kilometer), damaged with small bays and covered with thick sand mixed with small shells. The background is also sandy, sometimes there are areas with small pebbles. It is quite shallow near the shore, the water is turquoise, perfectly transparent. The beach is well-maintained and clean, equipped with everything you need and awarded with the Blue Flag. Here you can cuddle under the canopy of a beach bed, play beach volleyball in one of the numerous sports courtyards, take a walk in water attractions, swim and dive at your will in the Turkish waters of the Aegean Sea. Children can have fun in slides and elastic beds, and for the little ones you can rent swollen pools, rubber rings and mattresses. Another important factor that attracts tourists here is a large and well organized campsite. Here you can spend the night in a tent, trailer and even in a boat, use the kitchen, showers and bathrooms, have free Internet access. In the territory, there are many bars and restaurants, a mini-market and a laundry. Pets are allowed. A convenient asphalt road leads to Papa Nero, which ends in the free parking lot. In the middle of the season and on weekends, there may not be enough space for all who want it, so slow and lazy will have to leave their cars in the neighboring Agios Ioannis and walk to the beach on foot or by bike (there is a bike lane on the promenade).
Damouchari beach 4.5 The beach is a small and picturesque bay about two hundred meters long, surrounded by majestic cliffs. The shore is covered with white pebbles and roses, the sea is emerald and crystalline blue. The background is rocky and there are many underwater stones of different shapes and sizes, a true paradise for diving and snorkeling lovers. The beach is "wild," the only amenities here are the bathrooms in the nearby taverns and some locker rooms, so you'll have to take care of the rest for yourself. As a general rule, this place is visited by lovers of peaceful and peaceful rest alone with nature, who do not fear the lack of comfort and steep slopes of the mountains, so Damouchari is not the best option for leisure with young children. Neighbor Ai-Yannis, who is a 20-minute walk away, is more suitable for them. On the beach, there is a lookout that offers magnificent views of the bay, a port with docked fishing and recreational boats and a roaster that divides the bay into two parts. There is the Monastery of St. Nicholas and the ruins of the old fortress, which have survived to this day. There is no parking near the beach, so it is better to leave a car in the village. The main thing is to join the main road so as not to get lost between the numerous streets and courtyards. Many people prefer to reach Damuhari by boat and motor boat, from Agios Ioannis and Mylopotamos, so as not to tempt fate in the serpentines of the steep mountains. .
