Several small, secluded beaches dot the Kavo Sidero peninsula, starting from Analoukas. Mavros Kavos, also known as Hohlakia, is one such beach which can be reached via a dirt road. The beach is typically wavy and offers a sense of solitude. A bit further down, there’s another small bay, Magatzedes, which is also accessible by car. Heading west, you’ll find the beautiful bay of Atzikiari, located where the old fish tanks used to operate until 2016. It’s reachable through a dirt road. Lastly, at the base of Cape Aspro Mouri, you’ll find the remote cove of Aspro Avlaki. This cove is completely secluded since there are no surrounding roads.
