Seychelles Beach is a picturesque and secluded bay located in Ikaria. The beach is known for its natural beauty, characterized by pebbles and larger stones. The turquoise water, while not as clear as other beaches on Ikaria, offers a unique charm. However, it should be noted that on windy days, swimming might be challenging due to waves.
The beach is accessible either by foot or by boat from Maganitis port. The pathway down to the beach is rocky and steep, making it important to wear appropriate footwear such as good sneakers or trainers. Despite the challenging path, many visitors find the journey worth it for the rewarding view and experience at the beach.
Seychelles Beach offers a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, especially in the early morning. Shade is available under an overhanging rock, providing a respite from the sun. However, the beach starts getting busy around 11 or 12, when boats ferrying people start to arrive. It is recommended to visit the beach early in the morning or after 16:00 to avoid the crowd.
Seychelles Beach amenities include parking.
You can enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the bars situated on the beach.
Visitor reviews highlight the beauty and tranquility of the beach, especially in the early morning.
