Sklithri beach

Sklithri is a small pine-backed cove at bus stop 11, where the taverna puts tables directly on the sand. The shore is narrow, so loungers are limited. The water is shallow and gently shelving, and the south coast stays calm in the meltemi. One place to eat, and people complain about its prices.
