Ikaria<\/strong> is a special island, with its own character in the southeastern Aegean, and those who visit it talk about its hospitable people, beautiful lifestyle, and relaxing beaches. The island is known for the longevity of its people and the Ikarian way of life. But Ikaria has truly beautiful beaches that are ready to be discovered, the gems of the Aegean Sea. Here are the top 5:<\/p>\n

\n

Five Greek beaches with Caribbean-like waters<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Ikaria Beaches: Seychelles Beach
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The best and most exotic beach on the island, and perhaps for many, the entire Aegean. It is a landscape that refers to exotic paradises, as its name suggests. The beach is recent, as it was suddenly created after a rockslide, for the opening of a tunnel road in order to access the village of Manganitis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once you arrive, you will notice that the beach consists of unique blue waters and, in combination with the sand and small pebbles, forms a tropical setting. But the beauty of the landscape continues with the huge granite rocks that surround the beach and the hidden caves that invite you to discover them.<\/p>\n

Seychelles<\/strong> is the ideal beach for young people and couples. Access to the beach is not very time-consuming but needs attention. You can leave your car in an outdoor parking lot on the main road. Then you will walk a distance of about 10 minutes through a rough path with a descent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/p>\n

Ikaria beaches: Livadi beach
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Livadi Beach<\/strong> is located in the northern part of Ikaria, in the bay that is right next to Messakti Beach<\/strong>. It has quite a large area of golden sand and turquoise waters. During the summer months, it is organized with umbrellas, sunbeds, and beach bars.<\/p>\n

It is suitable for families with young children and is an ideal place for water sports. After enjoying your swim, you can taste some of the local Ikarian dishes in the restaurants located around the beach. Access to the beach is easy, as it is done by the asphalt main road network. You can leave your car there and walk to the beach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/p>\n

Ikaria Beaches: Messakti Beach
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is one of the best beaches of Ikaria, as it combines long golden sand and crystal clear turquoise waters. During the summer months, it is organized with umbrellas and sunbeds.<\/p>\n

It is visited by many people and is ideal for families with young children. Apart from swimming in the sea, you can also enjoy a snack or cold drink at the beach bar located along the beach, admiring the view from the Chapel of the Ascension at the edge of the coast.<\/p>\n

Access to Messakti beach<\/strong> is not difficult, but you need to walk. When you leave your car on the main road, you will need to go down several steps to reach the coast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/p>\n

Ikaria beaches: <\/span>Armenistis beach
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Armenistis is one of the most popular beaches of Ikaria and is located in the northern part of the island. It is a small fishing village that is located in a bay. Once you arrive, you will notice a small beach with a few umbrellas, consisting of golden sand and crystal clear green-blue waters.<\/p>\n

Although Armenistis Beach<\/strong> is not long, it has everything you need to comfortably enjoy your swim and your subsequent stay there, such as shops, restaurants, cafes, and rooms.<\/p>\n

The beach is known for renting small canoes, which you can use in the calm waters of the settlement. Access to Armenistis is not difficult, as you can reach the area either by car or by bus through the asphalt road network.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/p>\n

Ikaria Beaches: Prioni Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Prioni Beach <\/strong>(“Saw<\/em>” in Greek) is a small cove located at the eastern end between Agios Kirikos and Therma. Its surroundings are beautiful, as it consists of very high rocks that rise around it, but also a small piece of sand with crystal clear blue waters. Because it is a lonely beach, it is not organized. It is suitable for those looking for a deserted beach and for those who specialize in diving. Access is not easy from the path, as caution is needed.<\/p>\n
