Hi, this is actually our favourite beach on the island. It's called Abelakia, but people refer to it as Xenia because of the hotel. My photo looks exactly the same!

To the right of Kouk!
Go up the track towards banana and take a left to the old old hotel ruins.
A path leads back down to beach.

no one has mentioned "maratha" beach where the capitan's shack is .and you could get a whole plate of what looked like sprats with lashings of lemon and salad. that last photo looked very much like maratha.
