Maronti is hands down my favorite beach on the entire island. It has a special energy, but you need to know how to get there to enjoy it properly!

How to get there:

• By car or scooter: The road is long and full of curves (but so panoramic!). My advice? Head straight to Olympus parking, it’s a paid lot, but it’s the best because it leads you directly onto the little path that goes right to the beach.

• The "Scenic" way: Park at La Torre parking in Sant’Angelo, walk through the beautiful village all the way to the harbor, and hop on a taxi boat. It’s only €5 each way and the boat ride is pure magic.

Once you're on the sand, go to Di Iorio. It’s the perfect place to just chill and soak up the sun. But the real reason I love it? The restaurant is exceptional. Trust me on this, you HAVE to try the fritto misto!
