During the summer, some privacy-seeking tourists choose Tigani for camping. The beach is also suitable for fishing, snorkeling, and diving, with the underwater landscape in this part of the Aegean being particularly intriguing.
You can easily reach Tigani by scooter or car, as public transportation isn't available in this part of the island. Many tourists and locals alike come to the shore to enjoy the stunning sunset views and the historical ambiance of Psara Island.
