Thymaina in a Day
The fishing port, the hamlet of Keramidou, and a swim in a quiet cove.
Thymaina in 1 day, day by day: what to see, in what order, how far you drive and where you sleep. Base: Thymaina port. It works without a car.
Port, Keramidou & a Cove Swim
Thymaina port
The main settlement gathers around a working fishing harbour β caΓ―ques, nets drying, a couple of tavernas and a kafeneio. The small ferry from Fournoi ties up here.
Keramidou
The second hamlet, a cluster of houses on the slopes with long views to Ikaria. A short, steep walk from the port through terraced hillsides β the whole island opens up along the way.
Agios Nikolaos cove π beach card Β· wind & conditions β
One of several quiet pebble coves along the sheltered coast, with clear water and no facilities. Reach it on foot or ask a fisherman for a lift by boat.
