Tucked away in a secluded location, this tiny bay is a hidden gem on the island of Chios. The pristine turquoise waters and idyllic landscape of the untamed nature are a hidden gem for those seeking a few hours of peaceful bliss. The beach itself is mostly sandy with a few pebbles mixed in.

The Pier of Burgas, stretching nearly 300 metres into the Black Sea, is a defining feature of the city’s coastline. Originally constructed in 1936 and revitalised in 2013, it features a 22-metre-high viewing platform and serves as a departure point for boat trips to Saint Anastasia Island. A popular spot for leisurely walks or morning runs, the Pier also hosts the annual Epiphany cross-throwing ceremony, blending natural beauty with cultural tradition.

The Lighthouse at the Port of Burgas, the first Bulgarian port lighthouse, has guided ships since the late 19th century. Designed by Sabi Denev and unintentionally looking like a red-and-white candy cane, it stands as a symbol of the city, visible from Central Beach and the Pier. While public access is restricted, the walk to the lighthouse offers panoramic sea views, though the route is unshaded, making early morning or late afternoon visits more comfortable. The surrounding area, with its wave-breaking concrete structures, provides a striking contrast and a peaceful spot to enjoy the sea.
