Karpathos Paralia Agia Irini beach

Agia Irini is a large, but very secluded bay near Mesochori village, located on the west coastline of Karpathos island.

Agia Irini (Paralia Agia Irini, or Παραλία Αγιά Ειρήνη in Greek) is special among Karpathos Island’s beaches, because it can be reached only by boat or sea kayak due to geographical conditions. It can be seen while you drive between Spoa and Lefkos villages, and of course from Mesochori as well.
