Nisiotissa Beach near Neos Pirgos is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and unique beaches in Northern Evia.

Atmosphere & Scenic Beauty

• Iconic Landmarks: The beach is famous for the small, rocky islet of Monastiri located just a few meters from the shore. The islet features the ruins of a medieval Frankish church and an Ottoman-era watchtower, creating a dramatic and highly photogenic backdrop.
• Emerald Waters: Visitors consistently rave about the “emerald” and turquoise clarity of the sea, often comparing the area to the Caribbean.
• Family-Friendly: The water is generally shallow and calm, making it a safe and popular choice for families with small children.

Water & Shore Quality

• Swimming to the Island: A favorite activity for many visitors is swimming out to the islet to explore the ruins.
• Cautionary Note: While the water is clear, reviewers advise being careful of sea urchins on the rocks around the island.
