Primarily, it consists of the free beach, which hosts taverns, beach bars, and accommodations, followed by the nudist beach and finally by the remote beach of Damianos or Anemaki, with its impressive cave and hidden sandy cove, which, however, has difficult access via a rugged mountain path or by sea.
Facing north, Chiliadou is often exposed to strong winds.

These are the beaches of Livadakia or Germanou and Kokkiniada. These Aegean beaches will enchant you with their azure waters and colorful pebbles, and it would be advisable to visit them when strong north winds are not blowing.
