Grikos bay is situated southeast of the island. It is approximately 4.5 km from the port in Skala.
The road runs parallel to the coast making walking to and from Skala very beautiful and popular especially for joggers.
The bus stops by several times a day leaving you 50 meters from the beach.
Grikos is a popular settlement during summer because it is more quiet than most towns around the island especially during high season (august).
Its beach is the longest of the island with crystal clear waters and tamarisk trees for shade. Tragonissi (“ram island”) populated only by goats and a goat herder, faces the bay protecting it from bad weather (except SE winds) and making it perfect for yachts and boats to stop by or moor on the jetty that has a depth of 2 meters.
Most of Grikos has a view of Petra (or Kalikatsou as most locals know it) which is like a monument of Grikos.
