The strange andparticular Livada beach, we find it in the southeast part of the Tinos island about nineteen kilometers southwest of the capital Tinos Town.

Lost in a small bay, theLivada beach has a sandy coast mixed with small pebbles, clean and crystalline waters, a turquoise and blue sea with a seabed that dropsvery quickly therefore not really suitable for families with childrenand if you are not an expert swimmer.

The peculiarity of Livadabeach are the rocks that are located on the sides of the beach, realworks of art of Mother Nature, large stone formations that almostlook like marbles shaped by the wind and the salt that give alandscape almost fairy, from another world and very reminiscent ofKolymbithres beach in Paros. Behind tamarisk trees for moments ofrespite during the hottest hours.

Given its position, it isoften beaten by the winds which usually for a few days every monthhurl themselves against the Greek Islands creating large anddangerous waves therefore, in anticipation of your visit during yourholiday in Tinos, it would be better to consult the weatherconditions at in order not to waste time considering the fact that toreach it is not so easy and fast.

Livada beach is perfect fora day of isolation with only the sounds of Nature where everything isstill in its original and surprisingly wild state. Its environmentfits between the sea and vegetation so much so that around it thereis an oak forest, a small lake and a river that flows right into theAegean (and this is the reason why the waters are colder than onother beaches) and a habitat that offers the ideal conditions for acolorful fauna such as turtles, ducks, geese, migratory birds andcute little goats that have become so accustomed to the presence ofman that on the hottest days they seek shelter among the ravines ofthe rocks and without any fear they position themselves to allowthemselves refreshment and perhaps a nap. It should be emphasizedthat the area between the town of Myrsini and the beach of Livada ispart of the Natura 2000 project which deals with the conservation andprotection of these little corners of Paradise.

It is not equipped, hereyou can choose the corner that most inspires you, place your toweland enjoy a beautiful day at the beach. As for the restaurant, atypical tavern open only for the summer period where you can tasteexcellent dishes of the classic Greek and local cuisine. The funnything is that in this area there is no electricity but despite allthe art of getting by as always offers its surprising surprises. Onthe road that leads to the beach of Livadia, however, there isanother point to eat, the Taverna Mesi, which you absolutely must notmiss.

It's not difficult, let'ssay that the last stretch is a bit more difficult. First andessential information is that you will necessarily have to beautonomous. There are no public buses that arrive here and alsothanks to this the beach of Livada is still pristine and original.

Keeping the capital as apoint of reference, the direction is towards the north, cutting theisland in the middle and following the road signs for Steni and Mesi.At a certain point the paved road ends and the dirt road begins whichwill take you directly to the parking area behind the beach. Asalways, we recommend you to be very careful on the paths not markedon the maps and above all on paved roads, the hirers do not cover theexpenses in the event of damage, so always have a close eye.

An unusual but very nicestop to include among the things to do in Tinos, to get to know thissmall but beautiful island.
