10.Giola beach-4km from Astrida

The worldwide popular and beautiful natural lagoon resembles a swimming pool carved into rocks. Unfortunately, it became very touristy and the water is a bit dirty.

The access is quite difficult. You’ll have to drive about 3 km. of dirt road. Then you’ll have to walk for about 1 km., following the arrows marked on the rocks.

If you are party freak, then I would suggest you visit Mykonos or Rhodes Island, there’s a party 24/7.
