Livoskopos

Although the most famous, most popular long sandy beach on the island is Megalos Roukounas, we consider two others especially noteworthy. One of them is Livoskopos. To visit Livoskopos, we take the island’s northern road, which ends northeast of the little church of Saint Irene (Agia Eirini), approximately 9.5 kilometers from Chora. From the church of the Virgin Mary Axinon (Panagia ton Axinon) onwards, we will be following a relatively passable dirt road. The church of Saint Irene is located on a small hill with a beautiful view of the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. One hundred meters from the church, we will see a sign for the beach of Livoskopos on our right. We will reach this beautiful sandy beach via a steep 200-meter path carved into the rock. Hidden among steep slopes, this is one of the best beaches on the island, but because it is not so easily accessible, it usually does not attract many people.
