Marmari is a relaxed resort known for its wide, sandy beach, popular in summer for swimming, sunbathing, water sports, and horse riding.
Beach bars dot the waterfront, with laid-back cafes, a few cocktail bars, and informal tavernas on inland streets, as well as more upscale restaurants in hotels.
Nearby, the Alikis lagoon and wetland draws migrating flamingos and pelicans outside the summer months.
