Private day tour

Agios Gordios

Agios Gordios is a wide bay of sand on the west coast, with steep green hills behind it and, at its southern end, a tall rock standing alone in the sea. The sun sets straight in front of it.

Why go

It is one of the big beaches easiest to reach from town. On the way, the village of Pelekas has a lookout known as the Kaiser's Throne, where Wilhelm II came to watch the sun go down over the island.

What to do

  • A day on the sand
  • The rock at the south end of the bay
  • The Kaiser's Throne at Pelekas, on the way
  • Dinner by the beach at sunset

Good to know

  • About 35 minutes from the town.
  • Stay for the sunset: we drive you back after dark.
