Panormitis Beach

The beach of Panormitis is long and sandy. Few tourist facilities surround this coast.

Panormitis is one of the ports of Simi, very easy to reach, boats can take you there, and it is also reachable on foot. Panormitis is one of the most picturesque areas of the island where many boats arrive on a daily basis with a great number of tourists who are mostly interested in visiting the Monastery of Panormitis located right on the seafront.

Due to its close proximity to this religious symbol, nudism is not accepted by the locals. However, this narrow crystalline beach is quite suitable for swimming and sunbathing, easily accessible by all means of transportation. Some beautful areas to explore are found beyond Panormitis beach.
