Even the locals when they want to get distracted opt to come to this part of the island and this fact already speaks volumes.

Like any self-respecting seaside resort, here too there is a city coast where you can spend a beautiful day at the beach under the warm Hellenic rays of the sun. The Myrties beach has a long beach of about seven hundred meters composed of small pebbles, transparent and clean waters so as to earn it the recognition of the Blue Flag, a sea that varies from emerald green to blue and seabed that descend slowly for the first meters therefore suitable for families with children. If you have delicate feet, however, we recommend that you bring rock shoes. To the south, Myrties beach is completely open, while to the north it is protected by imposing rocks so the sea is almost always calm, ideal for a regenerating swim and for snorkelers who can explore the enchanting and mysterious seabed in addition to the cave located on the left side.

A few words about Telendos are a must! This magnificent island offers some mystical and extremely wild beaches. Only a couple of taverns are to be found but they are delicious so much that you have to compete to find a free table. On the 15th of August in honor of the Virgin Mary, a beautiful festival is organized that attracts the faithful and curious from all over.

But the highlight that distinguishes Telendos from so many other parts of the Dodecanese archipelago is undoubtedly the time of sunset. A unique spectacle when sea and sky take on golden colors of red, yellow, orange and blue which together make the scenery enchanting.
