A swim below the medieval castle
Fine dark-toned pebbles at the shore that turn to a sandy seabed once you wade in a little; shallow, gentle water. The distinctive part: you swim directly below the medieval castle of Molyvos (Mithymna), which crowns the hill in front of you.
Organized (sunbeds, showers, changing booths, sports facilities, a playground). Access by a short downhill and some steps; a ~10-minute walk along the road to the harbour.
