About the Beach
Gyrismata Beach is an expansive and impressively beautiful sandy shore on the northeastern coast of Skyros, located just a short distance from the main town of Chora and famously overlooked by the historic iron windmills of the island. It features a long stretch of fine golden sand and small pebbles with exceptionally clear blue water that remains fresh and invigorating throughout the summer months because it faces the open Aegean Sea. The beach is partially organized with several rows of sunbeds and umbrellas, while the rest of the shore remains free for those seeking a more natural and spacious environment away from the modern developments. It is a destination for nature lovers and families who want a simple and authentic beach experience in a setting of high natural beauty, often preferred by those who enjoy long walks along the shore to witness the dramatic coastal scenery. The water is consistently clean and the entry is easy for most swimmers, providing a safe and inviting spot for a day by the sea in one of the island's most serene and well-maintained locations. Access is very easy via a paved road from the settlement of Magazia, and there is plenty of space for visitors to find their own private corner of the sand even during the peak season.
