The "most beautiful" beach, shaded by oaks

Widely called the island’s most beautiful beach: large, with sand and fine black volcanic pebbles, on the west side. Unusually for the island, it has oak trees behind the shore for natural shade; it stands out for snorkelling/spearfishing.

Access by dirt road (~9 km) — not paved, not casual. Exposed to north winds. Ai Stratis is a remote, volcanic island, a former place of exile.
