About Mavros Molos

Mavros Molos is a beach about 490 m long, 1.3 km from Kissamos (West). It faces north-northeast: wind from the south-southwest blows off the land here and flattens the water, while wind and swell from the north-northeast roll straight in. OpenStreetMap shows 11 places to eat or drink within 400 m, 22 hotels or apartments within 600 m and parking nearby.
