Kastraki Beach
About
The beach offers visitors a sense of space and tranquility. The calm, shallow waters are perfect for families with children, while the smooth golden sands invite sunbathers to unwind. The backdrop of dramatic cliffs and rolling hills adds to the beach’s charm, creating a picturesque setting for relaxation.
For water sports enthusiasts, Kastraki provides some of the top swimming spots in Greece. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are popular activities here, thanks to the steady winds that make the area ideal for these sports. Those who prefer a quieter experience will appreciate the relatively uncrowded nature of the beach, especially in the early mornings or late afternoons, when the sun is soft and the beach feels like your private paradise.
With a few beach bars offering drinks and light snacks, Kastraki maintains a laid-back atmosphere, allowing visitors to enjoy the peace and beauty without the distractions of more commercialized beaches. It’s best visited in the spring or early autumn, when the weather is perfect for outdoor activities and the beach is less crowded. You can also take the opportunity to explore nearby attractions, such as the ancient Temple of Demeter, just a short drive away.
