Elygia Beach

ABOUT

The wild beauty of Asterousia includes beaches that are well worth discovering, and Elygia Beach is no exception. Nestled at the mouth of the gorge that shares its name, near the village of Agios Ioannis, this hidden gem offers moments of pure relaxation and absolute tranquility.
Located near Kapetaniana, a spot beloved by Via ferrata enthusiasts, Elygia is perfect for those seeking seclusion. To get there, you'll need to navigate a dirt road followed by a descending path, so be cautious on the way down.

Once you arrive, the vast blue sea and the fine pebble beach invite you to unwind and bask in the peaceful solitude, often with no one else around.
