Nagos
Ναγός
Nagos is one of northern Chios's most distinctive swimming spots, a small pebble beach tucked into a lush ravine below Kardamyla. Freshwater springs feed the area, supporting plane trees, greenery and small streams that give the cove an unusually cool, shaded character even in midsummer. White pebbles and clear water complete a setting that feels very different from the drier south.

Candid note
The combination of springs, greenery and sea is what makes Nagos special; allow time for a slow lunch as well as a swim.
