Monastiri Beach

The Monastiri beach is located just a few kilometres away from the Kolimbithres beach. The crystalline emerald water is flanked by a stretch of golden sand of 200 m. On the left side of the beach lie the imposing rocks. It has many hidden spots where you can spend private time or, on a less crowded day, try skinny-dipping. Due to the shallow waters until about 100 meters, it is ideal for swimming.

Enclosed by the giant rocky hills of Hellas, it is located in a small bay known as the Agios Ioannis bay. It is a sight to behold at this beach. It is known as the ‘Monastiri beach’ as it actually overlooks an ancient monastery on its right side. You can rent sun loungers and umbrellas from the tavern, on the entrance of the beach. But, if you want to try something adventurous, you can go further and try snorkelling if you are trained. The sand on this beach is unusually dense and deep. It's a famous spot for yachts to moor. It also witnesses numerous concerts and events. Avoid visiting the beach during the months of July and August, as it is excessively crowded during those months.
