Elinta beach, located in the western part of the island, is near the village of Avgonima only 25 km from the town of Chios. Its name comes from the Greek word “Alios” meaning by the sea.
This is one of the most beautiful beaches. The large enclosed bay hides a quiet and sheltered haven and a landscape of great beauty (which during the Second World War was the hideout of the legendary greek submarine “Papanikolis”) with fine white pebbles and sand, tall pine trees that are spreded all the way down a the sea and dreamy turquoise waters.
