Velanio Beach

Velanio Beach is a beautiful and secluded beach known for its calm and warm waters. It is divided into two sections, with the first part being a textile beach and the second part, located after a large rock, being a nudist area. Visitors are encouraged to respect the beach's culture and either participate in the nudist tradition or stay on the dressed side. The beach is accessible by walking to the end of Stafilos Beach and taking a path through the trees.

The beach is characterized by its dark sand, which can get very hot, and some areas have rocks. Despite this, access to the water is relatively easy, even without swim shoes. Swimming is a popular activity due to the cleanliness of the water and the comfortable small stones on the beach. However, visitors should be aware that there is very little shade throughout the day.

The beach is not typically crowded, providing plenty of space for visitors to spread out and relax. It is particularly recommended for those seeking a peaceful and tranquil environment. The beach is also a great spot to watch the sunrise, with the sun setting around 18h. Despite its natural beauty, some visitors may find the presence of pipes and electricity cables in some areas to be a detractor.

Amenities at the beach include a beach bar, although it may not be open year-round. Visitors can also rent a set of two beds and an umbrella for their stay. Despite its somewhat remote location, Velanio Beach is worth the visit for its unique atmosphere and natural beauty.
