    LIMNIONAS MESOCHORION BEACH
Great Aegean beach in Mesochoria of southern Evia. Between the popular Armirihi and the mini beach of Tsakaios lies the beach of Limniona Mesochorion.
The beach, although large in area and exposed to the Aegean, is protected from the north winds and thus even on days with enough wind it is relatively calm. The coast consists of white pebbles and coarse sand. The left part of the beach is more “wild” and the pebbles of the coast give way to stones and large rocks at the bottom. Nevertheless, due to the depth, you can swim and the seabed is quite interesting.
