Koumbara Beach
Κουμπάρα
A sunset beach west of the harbour, with alternating sand and rocks, where beach clubs let you sip cocktails while watching the sun go down.
Koumbara Beach lies about 2 km southwest of Gialos harbour. Behind the sand are a beach club and restaurants. A small islet nearby can be reached by wading or swimming, and the rocky area is good for snorkelling. A small secluded bay on one side is popular for naturist bathing. The beach faces west and is one of the island's most popular spots for watching the sunset. From the harbour it is about a 25-minute walk along the coastal road, or a few minutes by taxi.
