Nas was an ancient city where, according to legend, the Naiads lived. In ancient times it was one of the most famous Sanctuaries dedicated to Tauropolos Artemis. From the ancient port only the dock and the floor of the sanctuary remains till today. It is located west of Armenistis village.

Nas is well known as a place of alternative tourism, with many tents being set up in the green, peaceful and cool landscape.

This is a beautiful and exotic beach that you should definitely visit. It is an artificial beach which was created by the opening of a tunnel in southern Ikaria. It has fine white sand with beautiful large white pebbles and turquoise calm waters. The beach is surrounded by impressive huge gray rocks which provide shade. The only negative point is that the descent to the beach is quite difficult or even dangerous, but you can reach it by boat.

This beach is located approximately 1 km. from the port and can be reached either on foot (you will need to go down some stairs) or by car. It is not organized, but there is a canteen and taverns.
