Livada beach on Tinos

Livada Beach lies far up in the northeast corner of the island, about 17 kilometres from Tinos town. Previously, it was a misery to get here, the road was in terrible condition and you needed a very good car. Now when almost all the distance (which begins at Steni close to Mesi) is paved, it's just the last kilometres that is a bit tough, but it is possible to drive, even with a scooter.

The beach is like no other beach on Tinos. I wrote this when I wrote about Volax: "It is as a giant played marbles and then got tired of it and just went away". That giant seems to have thrown some marbles all the way to Livada, the rocks at the beach is covered with the same boulders as in Volax. The rocks are similar to those found on the beach at Kolymbithres on Paros. Many boulders are incredibly exquisite, and they form a very beautiful painting together with the blue sea. The beach is very pebbly and the sea can run high.

It's certainly cool with these impressive stones.

A stone whale is stranded on the beach.

It is more comfortable to lie on the beach than on the rocks. :-)

A taverna, open during high season, lies at the parking lot. There is also a small lake with guarding geese, thirsty goats and a scary crocodile.

Curious goats often stroll around on the beach.

The small "lake" is visited by goats, geese and a crocodile. (See arrows).

The guarding geese make a terrible noise when you go to the beach.

Do not miss the taverna in Mesi, which you can read about here »
