Kokkina is one of the most isolated beaches in Lemnos. It is 11 km south of Myrina near the Cape of Fakos in Kondias Bay, has barely any tourism, and is not easily accessible. Fakos is an ecological park. At the end of Kondias bay is the Beach of Diapori where dining options are available. From Diaporiyou have to take a 7-km-long gravel road to the beach of Kokkina. The location is ideal for long hours of peaceful sunbathing and especially favoured by nudist swimmers. Although the road to the beach is a bit of a difficult, it's worth a try for those who avoid crowds. The fine reddish sand and turquoise water in combination with the wild landscape is quite intriguing.
