Why go

Daimonia invites a long beach walk, while Archangelos gives the outing a more sheltered village finish. The two stops offer a simple choice: spend most of the day on the sand, or divide it between swimming and a meal by the water.

Plan it from Agios Dimitrios

Continue south from Plytra and allow time to explore each stop before choosing your beach. Verify current restaurant hours locally, particularly outside the summer season.
