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.
