Tolo Beach

Tolo/Tolon

Tolo Beach (or Tolon), literally a few steps from Pitsakis Hotel is a long stretch of sandy beach that follows the half moon bay around to the harbour. It is an excellent choice for families, swimmiers and sunbathers and even for the more athletic visitors with its great choice of watersports. The sea is crystal clear, warm and shallow so ideal for children. The beach itself, at the point where Pitsakis Hotel is located is sandy, wide and sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent. Tolo is awarded the famous Blue Flag for clean beaches.
