With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Marathonas Beach, 35 miles away, has to offer. Temple of Afea, Chalikiada Beach and Monastery of Saint Nectarios alone justify the drive. Dragonera Beach is another terrific option. It’s 40 miles away and offers an array of fun things to see and do. Chalikiada Beach, Aquarius Beach and Aponisos Beach are just the start.
