Agia Pelagia's curved shore encloses the beach and brings the settlement close to the water. That compact arrangement makes food and a sea break feel part of one bay visit. Compared with Ammoudara's extended, open strand, the appeal here is staying around a single waterfront with a more sheltered shape.
What to look for

A waterside settlement stands behind the beach.
