Cameo Island, Agios Sostis Greece

This beach is located on the Cameo Island, which is located in the opposite area of Agios Sostis. By crossing the wooden bridge from Agios Sostis to the Cameo Island you will meet this shingled beach with crystal clear sea. However, the beach stands out for its spectacular view. Τhere is also a coffee bar on the island.

Keri Caves, Limni Keri Greece

Kerì Caves, accessible only by sea with private boats or tourist excursions, develop along the promontory of Marathia Cape, in the South-West area of the island. Explore the enchanting Keri Caves, pass underneath the “Kamares” and have a swim in the crystal-clear waters.

Marathonisi (Turtle Island), Greece

The islet of Marathonisi is placed across the beach of Keri, in Laganas bay. It is not a single island but also includes two more small islets called Pontikonisia. Its perimeter is just about a mile and can be reached by boat from Keri beach and Laganas bay. There are boats that have frequent itineraries to the islet. Otherwise, you can hire a caique or take part in organized daily tours.
