Mainland beaches to hit on way back from Meteora

Hi, I'm in the process of finalizing an itinerary for Greece and haven't made up my mind yet whether I want to do an island or just concentrate on the mainland. I'm thinking of replacing an island experience with some beaches on the mainland.

Can anyone suggest some beaches that I could hit on the way back to Athens from Meteora? Ideally a scenic town along the coast. Arkitsa? Livanantes? I see multiple small towns along this section of coastline but which ones would be ideal for a night or two of relaxation?

Not sure if it is too much out of your way, but my tentative plans for a northern Greece trip include a stop on the Pelion peninsula.

Valadelphia--Just would like to encourage you to write a trip report after visiting the Pelion Peninsula. It has caught my attention but I haven't seen much written about it that is not by tourist bureaus. I would be very interested in your experiences, as I am sure would others.

Will do--I planned it out, then covid happened, and I have not gotten back to Greece yet. It looks like a gorgeous area, but I am not sure if two nights would be enough for the side trip.
I am also curious if there has been a recovery from the disastrous floods that hit the area a couple years ago.
