One of the most remote beaches of the island, Agios Sostis has been able to save itself from over-development and remains today an unspoiled, clothes-optional heaven. If you want shade, make sure you bring your own beach umbrella, as there are no umbrellas or sun beds for rent. Access is limited, as there is no bus service available. Take the road beyond Panormos Beach (the road is bumpy and rough), leave your car on the road and walk down the hill (parking space is limited). The footpath leads you right onto this sandy and pebble bay. Being a northern beach and all, Agios Sostis bay is rather protected from the strong northern winds. On the footpath leading you back to the main road, you will see a little tavern with a garden, next to the small church of Agios Sostis (Saint Sostis, patron and savior of all sailors) giving its name to this area. This is the perfect place to end a day’s swim with some nice food and good wine. From the taverna, there starts another footpath leading to a small secluded beach, right between Agios Sostis and Panormos. What used to be a secret isn’t anymore, so this tiny stretch of land can get pretty crowded in the summer. However, you will discover that is well worth it!
