Three narrow sea inlets carved into white volcanic rock form natural swimming pools with crystal-clear turquoise water. Steps cut into the cliff lead down to the water. Nearby lie the ruins of ancient Filakopi, one of the oldest Bronze Age settlements in the Aegean.

Visitor information
Entry
Free to visit — no ticket or reservation required.
Best time to visit
Morning light or late afternoon is ideal for photography. Avoid midday in summer — the rock absorbs heat and shade is scarce.
Getting there
Accessible by car from the main island road. A rental car or scooter is recommended.
What to wear
Wear non-slip footwear — volcanic rock can be slippery. Bring sunscreen and water, as shade is limited.
