Kagia beach
It is located in the northern part of the island just east of Skala Sikaminias, twelve kilometers from Molivos. This wonderful pebble beach, surrounded by picturesque cliffs on all sides, will appeal to lovers of a "wild" secluded vacation. Here you can enjoy the pristine nature, dive from the surrounding rocks, admire the flocks of colorful fish and even swim with dolphins, which swim close to the shore in these places.

Beach description
Despite the fact that there's no beach equipment here, you can come here to stay the whole day as you can always hide from the heat of the sun in the shadows of hanging trees.
The beach is small but there's enough room for everyone. The beach is quite difficult to get too since you need to walk on a steep forest path or rent a boat from the Sea Horse hotel.
The Kagia Beach is located in a very picturesque spot so don't forget your camera to take some unforgettable shots. Like Eftalou, Kagia has thermal springs with healing water that will add to the experience for those who like such places.
When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.

In Skala Sikaminias, the Church of the Madonna-Mermaid, towering on a coastal cliff is worth seeing. It houses a unique icon on which the Virgin is captured with a mermaid tail.
In these places, the famous Greek writer Stratis Mirivilis was born and raised, whose house-museum can be visited while walking around the village. In the courtyard, among the old buildings covered with red tiles, an old mulberry tree was preserved, under which the prose writer slept on stuffy southern nights.
