💡 Go late afternoon for the best light and quieter crowds. There’s no signposting inside, so wear sturdy shoes for the uneven stone.

Day 2

Deeper Into Myrina

Morning
Romeikos Gialos Beach

Central pebble beach with clear water, right below the castle. You can swim, sunbathe, and watch fishing boats come in. No sunbeds or umbrellas, just a free public space.

🕐 Accessible always

💡 Best for a quick dip after sightseeing, not a full beach day. Bring water shoes as the pebbles get hot.

Midday
Archaeological Museum of Myrina

Small but well-curated museum with finds from the island's ancient cities, including pottery, coins, and a collection of Hellenistic and Roman sculptures.

🕐 Daily 08:30–15:00; closed Mondays

💡 It’s free and rarely busy. Allow 30–40 minutes. The staff are knowledgeable if you ask questions.

Final Favourites & Departure

Morning
Kastro Promenade

The seafront walk stretching from the harbour front to the base of the castle. Benches, tamarisk trees, and views across to the island of Aghios Efstratios. Pop

💡 Grab a coffee from a nearby kafeneio and sit on the low wall at the far end – you’ll see locals doing the same.
