Giosonas
Γιόσωνας
Giosonas is a long, open pebble beach north of Kardamyla, facing directly into the Aegean with a striking sense of space and horizon. Its clear, deep water can be magnificent on calm days, while northerly winds give it a wilder character than the more enclosed coves nearby. It suits swimmers who enjoy an expansive, less sheltered beach.
