Kapi Creek is a picturesque bay protected from the sea wind by rocks and trees that go straight to the water. The famous boat restaurant Kapi Creek is located here, as well as a small bakery. On the restaurant’s terrace, you can admire the fantastic sunset over the Aegean Sea.

They are carved right into the rocks. From above, you will have a breathtaking view of the coast and the sea. The island is very popular with tourists, so we recommend that you arrive there as early as possible in order to take a place for mooring.
You can swim here, but the bottom is littered with stones, so it is recommended to wear special shoes so as not to injure your feet.
