A guide to Tsamadou and Lemonakia, the two Blue Flag pebble beaches next to Kokkari on Samos' north coast: what to expect, when to go and how to get there.
Summarize this article with:
Two Blue Flag pebble beaches a short walk east of Kokkari: the best swimming on this stretch of coast, with clear water, some shade and a taverna or two nearby. They're pebble, not sand, so bring water shoes. Both are easy to reach from the village, which is why they fill up in July and August — go early or late.
