The beach at Glyfou is so named for the well of brackish water which has been there since ancient times, and is still there today, to the right of Faros beach.
From Glyfou begins the beautiful paved footpath (illuminated at night) leading to the beaches of Apokoftou and Chrysopigi.
To the right of the beach, the steps to leading to the ancient mines and the remains of the old ore-loading facilities are visible.
