Gerolimionas Beach is a small deserted beach at the north-west coast of the island. The beach is small, only 20 meters long, but very wide, situated within a huge inlet which keeps it well-sheltered from the wind, even if the weather is windy the beautiful blue sea will be calm, perfect for nature lovers. Popular with naturists due to its remoteness.Be wary of the rocks on the right hand side as they are home to sea urchins.
