Things to see and do Greece

In this tiny lake, with extremely deep waters, the rooms are bathing as winter, since the water is naturally warm, between 21 ° C and 27 ° C. It is a kind of small swimming pool around which deck chairs and parasols, cabins and showers are arranged. A cafeteria serves sandwiches and refreshments. The elderly will tell you that the water of this lake is a boon to the body and doctors, that it has thérapeuthiques virtues and relieves arthritis, sciatic, lumbago, dermatological problems…

This islet is now uninhabited and can only be reached by boat from the port of Nimborios, but offers some superb and deserted beaches... Indeed, the islet was abandoned after having served as a naval base during the Second World War. Since then, there has been an almost strange atmosphere. The church of the abandoned village, the Saint-Georges church, is still in working order: it is used for a few rare local celebrations. On the heights of the village, a ruined fortress offers magnificent views of Halki and the surrounding area.

To the west of Lakki Bay, the road continues between pine and eucalyptus forests planted by the Italians. You will find beautiful coves with emerald waters and almost deserted beaches. Beyond the Lime Bar, the beach of Merikia is very pleasant with its small old-fashioned cafes but we advise you to continue on the road to Cape Katsouni: you will discover on the way small lonely creeks and the beach of Kokkina, perhaps the most beautiful in Leros. You will be able to get there on foot: it takes about an hour.

From Megalo Horio, you will have easy access to two main beaches, on foot or by bus.

Eristos is a large sandy bay on the south coast, at the end of a large fertile valley. Almond trees grow there and the island's inhabitants grow all kinds of cereals, fruits and vegetables. This green flow is known as Kampos, which means the fields, and you can cross it on foot from Megalo Horio (count 30 minutes to the beach) or by bus by road (5 minutes from Megalo Horio). Eristos beach is surely the most beautiful beach in Tilos and you will inevitably find a place to isolate yourself from the campers who settle under the gigantic tamaris every summer. Taverns nearby allow you to have a snack during a sunny day. Nudists are welcome to the left of the bay.

Skafi is a large pebble cove located on the north coast and only accessible by foot from Megalo Horio. The trail is very well laid out and easy: count about 45 minutes from the village through a valley surrounded by hills that looks like Afghanistan in places, when the light dims at the end of the day. Quiet and very often deserted, there is a good chance that you will find yourself alone on this bay without shade. At the beginning of the season, sea urchins are legion: perfect to fill up with iodine and satisfy small appetites. Another, smaller creek is located on the right of the main bay. Nudism is practiced there.
