Tholos beach in Tilos

Some of Tilos' beaches are hard to reach, Tholos is one of them. The beach lies at the foot of a deep ravine behind the mountain on the opposite side of Livadia. You can hike to the beach from Livadia, but the hike is quite difficult, and is described here.

The easiest way is to drive a car or moped to the path where the hike down to Tholos beach begins. Then you drive the main road out of Livadia, turn left towards Mikro Chorio, continue the road that goes past Mikro Chorio, and continue until you see a sign pointing toward the steep path leading down to the beach. The hike down to the beach takes 40 to 50 minutes.

Once down on the beach, all you have to do is throw off your clothes and throw yourself into the sea.


Tholos beach is a quite mediocre beach, at least I think so. Anyhow it is not good enough to justify the tough climb down, but the surroundings are amazing, the water is crystal clear and it is a pleasure to explore with snorkels and masks. Poor with shade and it's veeery far to the nearest taverna. The beach is also suitable for those who like to sunbathe and swim naked, as I do.

The only downside to Tholos beach is that you have to go up as well.


My first visit at Tholos ended with a swollen right knee, it looked like a honeydew melon. I got help to get back to Livadia. There, I sat down with my leg stretched over a wooden chair on Ouzeria Omonia.

The nice owner Michalis saw my awkward situation and ran into the kitchen and came out quickly with a glass containing a clear liquid. He poured the liquid over the swollen knee and began massaging. After 10 minutes he was finished and he said that the knee would soon look normal. He was right, the swelling disappeared pretty soon. I asked curiously what it was in the glass and he replied smilingly: - ouzo, of course! :-)
