This is
a convenient, family-friendly beach where you can
find a relaxing atmosphere, though sometimes it can
be very crowded. Ornos is a large beach with many
sun beds and umbrellas available for rent and also
space to lay a towel. Shallow water along the shore
line that is perfect for children to play in.
This beachside community
has many tavernas, cafes and restaurants right on
the beach for easy access. At least one beach bar
on the far left even has beach service. This beach
community provides services for almost all your needs.
Either on
the beach or within easy walking distance there are
mini markets, super market, bakery, pharmacy, butcher
and more. You can reach this beach by public
transportation and there is some parking for rental
cars - motorbikes.
The Ornos Beach area is surrounded by
hotels,
apartments,
rooms
for rent and villas.
There are even a few luxury hotels and private villas
that attract celebrities and kings from around the
world as guests. In this protected cove you can always
find a wide array of private yachts, leisure boats
and fishing boats anchored. As there is rarely a south
wind in the summertime, Ornos bay provides a safe
haven from the 'meltemi'' (northwest wind that can
be strong, blowing during the day and dying down in
the evening).
Ornos Beach is one of the two starting
points for the boats/caique
taking you to or returning you from other southern
beaches.
A unique experience not to be missed!
Discover more natural, serene beaches on the island
of Rhenia (known to the locals as big Delos). This
island is located just to the west of Delos. Enjoy
the crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches of
this special place. Arriving at this uninhabited location
you nearly feel transported back in time to the ancient
civilization. You are able to take a boat from Ornos
Beach, leaving in the morning and returning in the
afternoon.
On the left side of the beach is a dock
with a boat launch where you can try your luck at
fishing or watch the local fishermen repairing their
nets. In early morning you can see the fishermen arriving
back to shore with their catch of the day before loading
on to transport for delivery to local restaurants,
tavernas or the harbor fish market.
At the mouth of Ornos bay there
is a large, slightly submerged rock to be navigated
by boats, on which during quiet, less crowded periods
you can view seals swimming or sunning themselves
on top of the rock.
