About Nimborios
Nimborios, or Emporios, is a small, peaceful bay about 3 km west of Gialos along the coast, once the trading port of the island. There is a pebble beach shaded by trees, a taverna, a few rooms, and the remains of an early Christian basilica with mosaic floors near the shore. The road and the coastal walk from Gialos cross bare hills of phrygana, thyme and sage, smelling of herbs in the heat.
