The western beaches are probably the most impressive Aliki beaches. There are two longer beaches and small bays. The beaches here are bounded by small rock walls, which offer a certain protection from wind in jumps. The mixture of clear water, great sand, small rock faces and a very beautiful and lonely hinterland makes this part of Aliki a dream beach!
