Agios Nikolaos Beach is a popular destination known for its clear waters and stunning views. The beach is characterized by its ordinary sand and a stony sea bottom, which contributes to the cleanliness of the water. From a boat, it's possible to see the sea bottom, even at a depth of about 4 meters, and the shadow cast by the boat. The beach is surrounded by a forest of Juniperus macrocarpa, which is the largest population in Europe.
The beach can get very crowded, especially during peak tourist season. It's also important to note that the northern side of the beach can get extremely windy, making it less pleasant for visitors.
The beach offers loungers for visitors, with prices ranging between 10 and 20 Euros. However, visitors should be aware that the entrance to the sea can be uncomfortable due to sharp and slippery stones, so swimming boots are recommended.
Visitors should also be prepared to bring everything they need, as there are no amenities provided on the beach. It's also worth noting that some visitors may have to swim to reach the beach, depending on the type of tour they are on. Despite these challenges, many visitors find the beauty of the beach worth the visit.
