On the southwestern tip of Mikronissi islet, where the Agii Pantes lighthouse stands across from the city of Agios Nikolaos, there is a tiny dock for boats. It’s here that you’ll find the island’s sole beach, tucked away in an ancient, carved bay. Access to this hidden gem is gained via a stone staircase.
