Kids love to take the chance to snorkel in the shallow waters or to take a dip out of the heat of the day. The shoreline is home to a number of seafront tavernas serving tasty snacks and drinks to help you make the most of your day on the beach.

Just of shore there is the ancient underwater city of Olous, for the more active there is the chance to snorkel or take a diving excursion and explore this fascinating glimpse into the past.
