About the Beach

Oxos is a rugged and very secluded swimming area located near the picturesque village of Avlemonas, tucked beneath the historical Venetian fortress. It is not a traditional sandy beach but rather a collection of flat rocks and small pebbly entries that lead into deep, transparent water. It is a fantastic spot for those who enjoy diving from the rocks and snorkeling in a quiet, unorganized environment. The presence of the old castle adds a dramatic and historical layer to the landscape, making it a very atmospheric place for a swim. There are no facilities here, so the vibe is entirely raw and focused on the quality of the sea. It is a favorite for local residents and travelers who want to avoid the main tourist paths and find a private spot with a powerful view. The water is fresh and very clean, reflecting the wild and authentic character of Kythira’s eastern coast.
