A Hidden Gem on the Northwest Coast of Chios
Tucked between Limnia Port and Limnos Beach, just 2 km from the charming village of Volissos, Lefkathia Beach is one of Chios’ most cherished coastal escapes. Nestled along the island’s tranquil northwestern shores, this beautiful cove welcomes visitors with its relaxed atmosphere and stunning natural setting.
Set in a peaceful, sheltered bay surrounded by rocky hills, Lefkathia combines soft golden sand with smooth pebbles — a perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing, and soaking in the serenity of the Aegean. The beach is well-equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds, while tamarisk trees offer pockets of natural shade for those seeking a break from the sun.
A friendly beach bar serves up refreshing drinks and light bites throughout the day, and nearby you’ll find cozy tavernas and family-run guesthouses ideal for a laid-back overnight stay. Whether you're just passing through or spending the day, Lefkathia is easily accessible via Chios' road network and makes for a fantastic stop on a northern island road trip.
While you’re in the area, take time to explore Volissos, a traditional hillside village with narrow alleys, historic architecture, and a medieval castle offering breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline.
As for the beach’s name, local legends offer two enchanting stories: some say it comes from the delicate white sand lilies (leuka anthē) that bloom in the dunes, while others believe it honors Leucothea, the ancient sea goddess once worshipped in a nearby temple. Whatever the origin, Lefkathia Beach continues to captivate visitors with its crystal-clear waters, unspoiled beauty, and gentle, welcoming charm.
