coves are lining one after another, constituting the beach
of Kolimbithres (whose name means swimming pools), and
allowed, sometimes, to some lucky ones to have their own
private tiny bay. Sun beds and umbrellas can be hired in
some of the beaches and some water sports facilities are
even available. A few beach bars and taverns can be found
