Sarakaniko

Overview

Enchanting Sarakaniko Beach's unique lunar-like landscape and crystalline turquoise waters offer visitors an experience that is truly out of this world. Because the only thing more magical than walking on the moon is swimming on it.

Taking most of the credit for the rugged charm are the smooth, white volcanic stone formations that stretch along the shoreline. However, it is the contrast of these pristine pearlescent rocks against the vivid blue of the Aegean Sea that elevates a swim at Sarakaniko Beach into a truly transformative experience.

Beyond this natural beauty, Sarakaniko also offers a rich history that adds to its allure. The remnants of an ancient Roman quarry can be found nearby, serving as a reminder of the island's past and the significance of the stone that shaped the kind of ethereal architecture that continues to draw visitors today.
