On the north side of Aegiali Bay are three small beaches, which are connected with each other by the official footpath No4. It is a beautiful walk, which can be started in Aegiali port. From there one walks along the long Gialos Beach for about 20 minutes until its end, called Fokiotripa (Seal's Cave, but no seals there anymore). Here one goes up a path, just to branch off to the left soon after. With wind and big waves the last part of Gialos beach has to be done barefoot or one risks to have wet shoes. In that case it is preferable to go along the parallel tarred road. The first beach one gets to is Levrossos. Above it is a parking lot, but to reach the beach one has to go down several stairs in a built up area, with a tavern, apartments and the Petradi Beach Bar, which rents out some umbrellas and sunbeds, but not by the beach directly, which is not organized. For shade there are a few tamarisk trees. Levrossos Beach is sandy throughout and it can get crowded. Further west come Psili Ammos Beach and Chochlakas Beach, which are completely undeveloped and offer almost no shade. Although a few will swim naked already at Levrossos, nudist usually prefer the other two beaches, where they are the majority. Psili Ammos has some sand on its eastern side, mostly pebbles to the west, while Chochlakas has a not always easy access into the water due to rocky ground. In season there is a water taxi service to the first two beaches. When there last September a strong northern wind came up (Beaufort 8) with all ships staying in the harbour. Swimming was impossible at the beaches of Gialos, Psili Ammos and Chochlakas, but if one didn't go too far out one could swim at Levrossos, which is the most protected of them all. It would be different though with a southern wind.
