A vast golden beach, low-key
A vast golden beach with shallow turquoise water, near Vartholomio (northwest Ileia). Semi-organized and low-key — café-bars and tavernas in the settlement, but a quiet, uncrowded beach.
Its northern section is called Panaritis; a wide-open spot with room for sand games and watersports. (Not to be confused with the namesake beaches on Corfu/Zakynthos.)
