Crystal-clear waters and ever-changing landscapes in eastern Evia
With the Aegean Sea stretching out before you and the island of Skyros on the horizon, a swim in the crystal-clear waters of Kymi is an experience you won’t soon forget. Each beach in the area has its own distinct character, offering something for every taste. From rugged cliffs and secluded spots to golden sands and a lively, cosmopolitan vibe—however you imagine your perfect summer, Kymi is sure to deliver.
The most iconic beach is Soutsini. Featuring a canteen, beach volleyball facilities, umbrellas, and sunbeds, it remains calm even when winds pick up, making it especially popular. At the harbour, you’ll also find Limanaki, an ideal beach for children, thanks to the available water games, as well as the small beach of the Nautical Club, which also offers umbrellas, sunbeds, and a canteen.
Megali Platana, stretching along the entire seafront, has been recently revamped and now welcomes visitors in a refreshed setting. With its sandy shore, beach bar, fish tavernas, cafés, and accessible ramps for people with disabilities, it has quickly become one of the area’s newest hotspots.
From Stomio Oxylithou to Kefala, the wide sandy coastline runs almost uninterrupted, constantly changing names along the way: Agios Georgios, Mourteri, Agios Merkourios, and Kefala. These beaches are known for their deep waters, coarse sand, sparse tamarisk trees, and expansive open stretches where you can set up your umbrella in peace. From time to time, you’ll also find serviced spots with sunbeds if that’s more your style. The only potential drawback is the strong winds in August, which can create quite large waves.
On the northern side of Kymi, the beaches of Tsilaros and Thapsa stand out for their lush vegetation, beautiful pebbles, and the dirt roads that once ensured their seclusion. Today, however, they are so well-known that on weekends it can be difficult to find a spot to lay your towel. Still, across this stretch of coastline, there are many hidden beaches accessible only by sea—places where you’ll find nothing but yourself and the seagulls.
