The beach of Eligia is located right on the left from Ai Giannis village, at the exit of the gorge. It still remains a virgin beach, no umbrellas and sunbeds here, just coarse sand and fine pebbles. The wind is quite fierce though often enough, but you – and your tent – could try and spend a night to enjoy the wild but at the same time hospitable scenery. Take a walk at the gorge, follow the path to Agios Antonios cave or even, to Koudouma Monastery, if you think you can take it.
