Sandy stretches

Makry Gialos translates as ‘long beach’, so you won’t have to fight with the hordes of holidaymakers here – there's plenty of space to lay down your towel. And with a shoreline that borders the Libyan Sea, you can expect warm water for swimming and snorkeling too.

Sensational sights

Kapsa Monastery and the Pefki Gorge are just two of Makry Gialos’ highlights. The monastery sits high on the cliff, enjoying amazing views over the Mediterranean Sea and Koufounissi Island opposite. Pefki Gorge is equally as picturesque, blanketed in pine trees and olive groves.
