The beaches of Makrylies-Lakkoma

The beaches of Makrylies-Lakkoma

The beaches belonging to the villages of Makrylies and Lakkoma are located in the southwest of the island, 8 kilometers away (10 minutes by car) from Kamariotissa and about halfway to Pachia Ammos.

They're relatively narrow, covered in pebbles and sporadically with sand and offer a fantastic view towards the islands of Gokceada, Limnos and Thassos as well as Mount Athos. The water is clean and clear but deepens relatively quickly. The area is protected from the northern winds, so the sea is often calmer than in other places on the island.
