Artolithia Beach (Rizon Area)
A secluded and quiet beach, ideal for visitors seeking peace and clean waters.
The name Artolithia likely originates from the Byzantine word “Ortolithia,” because the small port is formed by upright, tall rocks. Artolithia was the landing point of medieval Riniasa, referred to as Arnaousa in 1443 AD.
