Beaches near Kapetaniana

Aghios Ioannis Beach

The beach in front of its village is quiet, with sand, pebbles and deep crystal-clear waters, perfect for spear-fishing and camping. There is no organized infrastructure on the beach, but nearby are some restaurants and rooms to rent.

To get to the beach, follow the dirt-road from the village of Kapetaniana. After about 8 km you will arrive at the settlement of Aghios Ioannis and the beach. The passage is quite arduous, but the vistas over the Libyan sea will reward your efforts.
