Megalo Pigadi

We can reach Vathy Pigadi Beach in the southeastern part of the island by taking the road that continues southeast from the church of the Transfiguration of the Savior, about 1700 meters from the church, and 600 meters from Poros Beach. After the beach, we continue on a dirt road, where we will need to open and close two gates (which confine goats) before reaching our destination. After the second gate, the road divides, with the relatively bad dirt road on the right going on 200 meters to Vathy Pigadi Beach, and the branch on the left continuing 200 meters to the little church of Saint Nicholas and the ruined buildings known as the Vaults (Tholi). The beach was named after a large well (megalo pigadi) that we will encounter after the second gate. The well is now covered with stones and iron mesh for safety reasons. When it was running, its water was brackish (due to the sea). At the beach, there is also a small well (mikro pigadi) to the right of the slabs, also closed and covered.
