Detailed description:
The beach has a pebbly shore, while almost the entire length in the water is covered with stone slabs. A small pathway has been made in the middle for easier entry into the sea, while the left side of the beach has a more accessible, pebbly entrance.
Metalia is renowned for its peace and quiet, surrounded by hills and greenery, far from roads and inhabited areas. Due to the rocky seabed and the lack of shallow areas, there are few children on the beach and almost never any crowds.
There is a bar on the beach that blends into the natural surroundings, with sunbeds, soft music, and enough space for personal equipment. Additionally, there is a beach volleyball net available.
It is ideal for sunbathing, reading, and relaxation.
You can take a walk to Palataki and take great photos with a view of the beach and the old mine.
On the right side, through a small tunnel, you can reach a small wild cove, and then a sandy cove that is often used by nudists.
Even if you are not a fan of rocky beaches, Metalia is worth visiting just for its unique ambiance.
How to get to the beach:
You can reach Metalia by foot from Limenaria, along a path over the hill where Palataki is located, and then a steep descent to the beach.
You can also reach the beach by car, via the road from Limenaria to Potos. After less than 1 km, there is a turn marked “Metalia”. The road is partly asphalt, then dirt, narrow, and bumpy, so careful driving is necessary.
Parking and arrival:
There is shaded parking right by the beach.
