Mpatsi combines beaches, walking routes and local history, offering several points to consider when choosing a destination. If you don’t want to judge a destination by its beach alone, walks and the character of the town can also factor into your decision. The central beach, Kolona at the entrance to the town, different walking routes and the settlement’s development each reveal a different side of the place.

Walks with different destinations

A paved path leads from Batsíon towards Ano Batsi and Piso Vrysi. Along the shore in Batsíon, you can walk towards Stivari and Agia Marina Beach. You can choose between them based on specific differences: the first route has a named surface and destinations, while the second focuses on its coastal setting and destinations. If you’d like to include one of these options in your stay, consider whether you’d prefer the paved path or a walk by the water. The named destinations help you choose a walk not only by its route but also by your own interests.

Beaches and their locations

Batsíon’s central beach is wide and sandy. There are plenty of sun loungers there; this provision may change. If sun loungers are important to your plans, check the current situation before your visit. Kolona is also a sandy beach and is located at the entrance to the town. The two beach locations therefore differ in their setting and description: one is the central, wide beach, while the other is a sandy beach at the town entrance. These different location details can help you weigh up which beach area better suits your interests.

Townscape and development

Batsíon developed from a former fishing village with onion-storage buildings into a lively tourist settlement. This development connects the town’s earlier character with its tourist appeal, offering an additional perspective alongside beaches and walks. The history of the former fishing village may be a point of interest in its own right if you also consider a destination’s development when choosing where to go. Agios Filippos is visible from every point in Batsíon. The church is therefore a prominent visual landmark that adds to the townscape.
