Agia Markela

ATENI
Location: On the eastern side of the island, approximately 7 km away from Batsi. 
Special features: It is divided in two beaches. The smaller in size (on the left) is the most popular one, as it is protected by the strong winds, while the larger (on the right) is sandy, with crystal clear waters, ideal for surfing. The latter also provides sunbeds and a canteen. 
How to get there: By car. Take the road from Batsi and follow the road signs. The last part of the road is covered in gravel, but it is in excellent condition.
