Batsi
Μπατσί
The island's most popular holiday fishing village, with a curved sandy beach, a harbour, and seafood tavernas that cluster together, making it the centre of accommodation and nightlife.
Batsi lies on the west coast, about 8 km from Gavrio port. White houses climb the hillside around a crescent of golden sand, and the harbour is lined with seafood tavernas and bars. It is the island's most visited place to stay. Nearby beaches include Agios Petros, Kypri, and Chrysi Ammos, and in summer small boats run to more distant coves. It's a good base for the western part of the island, and the evening seafront walk to dinner is a highlight. When the north wind blows hard, the west coast's waters are usually calmer.
