So, if you belong in the second category then the beach “Mavra Volia” or “Mavra Liladia” will become your ideal place. It is covered in black pebbles that came from an explosion made by the volcano of Psarona.

The beaches of Kato Fana, Potami and Agia Dinami (= holy power) are splendid. They do not attract many people. So, you are free to enjoy the clear waters and relaxation, staring the blue color of the sea. Red is the color that dominates in the beach of “Mavri”.
