It is a picturesque coastal village with a beautiful clean sandy beach.
At the entrance of the village there are ruins of an 11th century basilica church with a mosaic floor in good condition. In 1896 the last battle against the Turkish occupation took place here. In the bay of Almyrida there is a small rocky islet called "Karga" which has ruins of an ancient wall built by the Phoenicians. During the Second World War they were built shelters for the local people. Today Karga has become a nature reserve for birds.
