Kolokitha Beach is a small, picturesque beach known for its light blue waters and beautiful surroundings, including old Greek ruins. Despite its size, the beach can become quite crowded, especially during the day. Visitors often start arriving as early as 7am, and by 10am, the beach can be quite full.
The beach is accessible by car, with a parking area available. However, the last 500m of the road leading to the beach is a dirt road, filled with rocks and narrow paths, making it inaccessible by car. From the parking area, visitors can walk to the beach, a journey that takes about 10 minutes.
The road to the beach is mostly one-lane, which can make driving there challenging, especially when other cars are driving in the opposite direction. Therefore, it is recommended to visit early in the morning to avoid disappointment with parking or driving in and out of the place.
Despite these challenges, many visitors find the beauty of the beach worth the effort. However, it is worth noting that the beach can become particularly crowded when tour boats arrive.
Kolokitha Beach amenities include parking.
Visitor reviews highlight the exceptional beauty of the beach, particularly its light blue waters and picturesque surroundings.
