Karfas is Chios's easiest full-service family beach, with fine sand, gradual water and frequent summer activity near town.
Karfas curves around a developed bay south of Chios Town. Fine sand and a gentle entry suit families, while restaurants, buses and accommodation remove most logistical friction.
The central shore becomes dense with loungers in high season. Keep to swimming zones around rental craft and walk toward the ends for more space.
