The palm beach of Vai features the largest natural palm forest in Europe. This large sandy blue flag beach has many services to extend your stay here. To the south, a short and pleasant walk over the headland, passing in front of the 'taverna' and then up the hill, is a smaller beach often frequented by naturists and is just a small walk away from the mainstream beach.
Beyond this beach it is possible to walk further still by climbing onto the next headland and continuing further south. Here there are spectacular inlets all completely inaccessible and rocky cliffs. You can walk naked here and enjoy the totally wild and desolate landscape.
