At the easternmost end of the Sissi coastline and within the boundaries of the Vrachasi area, where the sandy beaches give way to the rocky coastline that continues to Milatos, we meet the small picturesque beaches of Spiliada.
The name Spiliada (cave) comes from a large cave, which, while previously housing cattle, is now located inside the large hotel in the area.
The largest and most organized beach is located to the west and is accessible via a path from the adjacent Avlaki, where you can park. It is sandy and is partially protected from the waves by a small pier. From the pier onwards, it is worth exploring the rocks and walking along the coastal walkway, where there are small beaches with natural shade from tamarisk trees.
