Mersinidi beach
Nestled in the charming area of Vrontados, just 8.4 kilometers (15 minutes) north of Chios Town, Mersinidi Beach offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of the Asian coast. Named after the nearby Mersinidi Monastery, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, this serene beach is a perfect spot for those seeking a quiet escape away from the crowds.
Mersinidi Beach features a beautiful mix of soft sand and fine pebbles, complemented by crystal-clear waters that invite you for a refreshing swim. While the beach doesn’t offer tourist facilities or natural shade, its untouched beauty adds to its charm. The best time to visit is in the late afternoon, when the sun sets behind the rocks, creating a cool, shaded environment along the shore.
Reaching the beach is an adventure in itself, with a scenic trail leading down the hillside. While there is no designated parking area, visitors can easily park along the road. Thanks to its close proximity to the town, Mersinidi Beach is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Before you leave, be sure to visit the nearby Daskalopetra Beach, another peaceful spot that’s definitely worth exploring!
