Beaches-- The long, narrow town beach in Molivos is rocky and crowded near the town, but becomes sandier and less populous as you continue south. The beach in Petra, 6km (3 3/4 miles) south of Molivos, is considerably more pleasant. The beach at Tsonia, 30km (19 miles) east of Molivos, is only accessible via a difficult rutted road, and isn't particularly attractive. The best beach on the island is 70km (44 miles) west of Molivos in Skala Eressos.
