Dianiskari Beach

Dianiskari Beach is a small rock-beach known for its scenic views, particularly on its west side. The beach is characterized by its rocky terrain, both on the shore and under the water, which makes it an interesting spot for snorkeling. The underwater landscape is home to a variety of sea life, including fishes, baby octopuses, cuttlefish, squids, and barracudas. However, visitors are advised to be cautious of sea urchins that are present on the west side of the beach. The beach does not offer any amenities such as shade or sunbeds, so visitors are advised to bring their own. It is also recommended to wear sea shoes due to the pebbled nature of the beach. Parking is available on the road above the beach, although it is limited in capacity. The beach is accessible by foot, but the terrain might be challenging for some due to the presence of rocks. It is a few steps away or a 6-minute walk up and then down from the main road. Despite its natural beauty, Dianiskari Beach is not typically crowded. It is known mostly to locals and a few tourists, making it a quiet little cove perfect for those seeking tranquility.
