Nikiana is located 9 kilometres north of the island’s capital, Nikiana is a small sandy beach which has grown into an important beach resort, offering a wide range of accommodations, taverns, cafes and bars. This beach is very close to the main coastal road. There is a thin strip of pebbles in front of a row of hotels with a good view of mainland Greece. The water laps peacefully here and the Cypress trees bob in the wind in the distance. Just north of this beach is a small harbour and beyond this is a small bay. The latter is very popular and very close to the coastal road. There are trees here and pretty flowers.
