Aliki is a beautiful cove and one of the most famous beaches on the island. There are actually two beaches with the same name Aliki - the main, more famous cove that can be seen from the main road, and the windy cove of Aliki near the archaeological site.
Brief information about Aliki beach:

Main cove of Aliki:
The main cove of Aliki is a narrow, sandy beach with an unreal turquoise sea color. This is the most visited beach and the only one where swimmers are present from April to the end of October.
The beach is organized, with a large number of sunbeds and umbrellas. The conditions for using sunbeds may change from season to season, so it is recommended to check the conditions before settling down.
Aliki is known for its very fine sand, like flour, both on the shore and in the water. The depth gradually increases, making the beach suitable for both children and swimmers.
The water is extremely clear, and the beach is excellent for diving and snorkeling.
There is shade on the left side of the beach, as well as rocks in the water. On the right side, there are many flat rocks suitable for sunbathing.
Not far from the peaceful cove, there is a small chapel in the rock dedicated to the Most Holy Mother of God.
During July and August, the beach is usually crowded, especially on weekends, so it is recommended not to visit on Saturdays or Sundays.
Windy cove of Aliki:
A narrow path leads over the cape to the second beach, known as the windy cove of Aliki. It can also be reached by a shorter path through the gate behind the restaurant on the main cove.
This beach is usually not crowded. It is mostly not sandy and due to sharp and slippery stones, it is not recommended for children, but it is suitable for divers.
The left part of the cove is sandy, and the entire area is surrounded by rocks, remains of an ancient settlement, trees, and a very picturesque landscape.
Parking and arrival:
In the hinterland of the beach and next to the main road, there are parking spaces, but due to high attendance, parking can be a problem, so it is recommended to arrive early.
If you have time, it is worth visiting both coves - the main one for swimming, and the windy one for nature, peace, and the archaeological site.
