Giorgaina

Leaving behind the long beaches of Kamares in Neochori and continuing along the coastal road toward Kalyvia, we encounter on our left a lovely small, sandy beach with shallow, light turquoise water. Next to the beach we can see the half-ruined little church of Saint Spyridon (Agios Spyridonas) almost hidden beneath the soil. Near it there is a spring with brackish (glypho) water, so the area was called glypha, and women from nearby Kalyvia and Paganea came and washed their rugs there. If you swim at idyllic Giorgaina, you will feel the cold fresh water welling up and displacing the warmer sea water.
