Palionisos
Παλιόνησος
A secluded bay on the northeast of the island, reachable only on foot or by boat, with a few houses, two small tavernas and bright blue water.
Palionisos is a small bay tucked into a valley with no road access. From the road towards Vathy you can get out and hike a mountain path for about 30 to 40 minutes, or in summer take a boat. The water in the bay is calm, good for swimming and snorkelling, and the seaside tavernas serve grilled fish. The surrounding cliffs have also been developed for climbing. It is quiet and uncrowded, suited to visitors who want to avoid the crowds.
