Although all services and facilities are concentrated in such small space, the area is very quiet and a popular destination for couples and families looking for a peaceful vacation. Young people choose it specifically for its proximity to Laganas, which can be reached in a few minutes by public or private transportation. Agios Sostis beach is sandy and extends to the right and left of Cameo Island.

On the other side of the island from the pier, there is a tiny pebbly beach with crystal clear water and a multitude of fish. At night, the pier is lit up, thus creating a magical atmosphere perfect for romantic walks. Access to the island costs €5 and includes a free souvenir. Twice a week, the island offers happy hour events. For more information, visit the Events section.
