In the north part you will find the beautiful beaches
of Anaxos, Molyvos, and Petra, among other. Here, after a long day next to the
sea, you can recover some energy trying some Greek typical dishes at any of the
taverns in the villages next to them. Besides, if you have a car, you can also
visit other sights.
Anaxos
Just beyond Petra is the beach village of Anaxos. It's a resort style
beach with hotels, restaurants and bars with swimming pools.
Avlaki
Near Petra is the beach at Avlaki which is small but within walking
distance of the town and a few other small beaches. There is a very nice Taverna
there.
Baloutsas
The beach at Baloutsas is usually totally empty, mainly
because you can easily destroy your car getting there. But if you have a
jeep it's worth a visit. You can find it by following the signs on the
dirt road between Anaxos and Skalahori.
Eftalou
Within walking distance of Molyvos are the beaches of
Eftalou, near the hot springs.
There are a variety of pebble beaches and
several restaurants. There are showers and changing rooms and of course
the miracle working hot springs.
Molyvos
The town beach at Molyvos is not bad as town beaches go. The sea is
usually calm and it is sandy and shallow. The view of the castle is great from
the water. There are free showers and changing rooms.
On the other side of the harbor at Molyvos
is a rocky beach that is crystal clear and excellent for snorkeling. There are
no facilities of any sort besides azure seas and interesting rock formations.
Petra
Petra is a big resort style beach with rental umbrellas,
beach chairs, showers, changing stations and a line of restaurants, not to
mention the entire village of Petra.
Tsichranda
On
the road to Filia from Anaxos is a turn-off to the beach settlement called
Tsichranda. There are a couple of cafes and rooms to rent and a long clean
beach.
