Lithi
Λιθί
Lithi is one of the west coast's most relaxed combinations of beach and village life: a broad sandy bay beside a small fishing harbour, with shallow water and places to eat close to the sea. It is ideal for a long lunch-and-swim stop and fits beautifully after Anavatos or Avgonyma on a western Chios day.
