Skyros: Agios Fokas Skyros

Skyros Beaches: Agios Fokas beach in Skyros Greece Agios Fokas beach Skyros: Agios Fokas lies in North Skyros, just south of the coastal town of Astitsa. The location is hidden engulfed among lush pine tree hills which stretch to all directions. It is a lovely area resembling a small lake with white sand and pebble beach. A traditional tavern sits by the side of the beach serving snacks and drinks. The calm waters are nice enough for a swim. A beautiful small chapel sits on the shore overlooking the bay.

Many visitors arrive here on bikes during summer even though the roads can be bad. Ideal is a boat trip through this area by which other secluded coves on the coast inaccessible by road can also be visited. The enclosed Agios Fokas beach is in demand when other beaches are hit by summer winds.   The dirt road to the beach can be reached by following the main road from Atsitsa to Pefkos village. Once you find the path among the Pefkos hills, drive down the pine forests about 4 km to the beach. ...........................................................................................................................................
