It is one of the liveliest and fun filled beaches in the area, wide with many water sports activities and tourist facilities. The tiny little harbour is the gateway to the amazing sites of Shipwreck Bay and the Blue Caves which you can go and see on organised boat trips and are some of the most famed sites in Greece. Agios Nikolaos has a small selection of cafes and tavernas that line the seafront as well as some gorgeous beaches and coves.
