Monastiri owes its name to the Monastery built on the hill above it. This is a gorgeous organized beach, offering many amenities, including sunbeds, umbrellas, water sports facilities, accommodation choices and multiple taverns around the beach. The sea bottom morphology, with little rocks spread all around, provides shelter to numerous fish and this makes Monastiri one of the top destinations for snorkeling lovers. Finally, the itinerary that leads to Monastiri is very pleasant as it passes between forests of pine trees.
