About the Beach
Nas is a legendary and visually stunning cove where the Chalares River flows out of a deep, green gorge to meet the sea. The beach is a mix of sand and large pebbles, and the water is deep, cool, and often features powerful waves that are exciting for strong swimmers. It is a place of incredible natural energy, surrounded by high cliffs and the ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to Artemis. There is no commercial organization on the sand, so the environment feels raw, wild, and completely untamed. It has long been a favorite spot for campers and those looking for a more "off-the-grid" experience. The hike down from the main road is short but steep, and the view from the top is one of the most famous on the island. It’s a must-visit for anyone who wants to experience Ikaria’s most dramatic and ancient-feeling landscape.
