Karfas
Καρφάς
Close to Chios Town, Karfas is the island's classic easy-going sandy beach: a broad stretch of fine golden sand, very shallow warmer water and plenty of visitor facilities. It is especially popular with families and anyone who wants a simple, comfortable beach day with cafés, restaurants and summer activity nearby.
