About this tour
This session covers Fokos Beach on the island's north coast, reached along an unpaved road that keeps the crowds away. Ariadni shows the drive in and the quiet stretch of sand at the end of it. She explains why development stayed light on this side of the island compared to the busier south coast.
Ariadni checks her connection at the start of the dirt road before the drive down, keeping the camera steady over the rougher ground. She answers questions about the beach and the wider north coast as she walks along the sand. A short list of what was seen follows the call.
This suits travellers looking for a quieter alternative to the island's famous beach clubs. It also works well for anyone deciding whether to make the trip out themselves.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later

The dirt road in 21 min
Ariadni films the unpaved track leading down to Fokos, the camera catching dry scrubland and the first glimpse of the bay opening up ahead.

At the beach itself, she shows the stretch of sand with only a handful of people on it, explaining why this side of the island stayed undeveloped while the south coast filled with beach clubs.

-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Amygdalota (almond sweets) and Chora, worth a slower look.
