A very small and secluded beach, with pebbles and deep very clear water – ideal for underwater exploration, it is located at the exit of a small gorge. As such it is cut off and accessible most readily from the sea.
If you have no boat, the only way to get there is along some difficult tracks. From Trypiti beach, there is a difficult path some 2.5 km long; another path leads here from Salamia to the east.
Due to this difficulty of approach and the problems of lugging equipment across rough terrain for some distance, the beach is not suited to camping. Its seclusion makes Kartati (the Mast) a good destination for nudists.
This, in its namesake bay, lies at the mouth of another small canyon. It has pebbles and crystal-clear waters – perfect for enthusiasts of underwater exploration.
Located in an inaccessible spot that only boats can readily reach, it is thus not really suited to camping. Difficult paths connect it to Kartati to the west and Aghios Iannis to the east. Its name is derived from an Italian word with reference to salt, which the locals collect hereabouts.
The next beach east is at Aghios Iannis, in front of that village: it lies to the southeast of the village of Kapetaniana and the most secluded beach of Eligya.

The Rural Greece is an online portal that connects travellers with unique destinations and local businesses in the countryside, offering authentic experiences through activities that highlight nature, traditions and culture.
For the Rural Greece accessibility is fundamental to enhancing an inclusive tourism experience. Following the principles of inclusion and equality, the epaithros Rural Tourism Network and its member businesses are constantly working to enhance the tourism services provided, ensuring that all visitors have the opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of the Greek countryside.
Sustainability in tourism refers to a way of developing tourism that respects and protects the environment while strengthening the local economy and preserving cultural traditions. The aim of sustainable tourism is to provide unique and authentic experiences for visitors without harming the natural and social environment, while ensuring that local communities benefit from tourism activity.
This type of tourism is based on three pillars:
With sustainable tourism, visitors can have authentic experiences, knowing that the impact of tourism on the region is positive and lasting for future generations.
For Rural Greece, localism is one of the most important factors for the development of sustainable tourism, as it promotes a strong link between the tourism product and the local society, economy and culture. Through localism, visitors get the opportunity to explore authentic elements of the destination, such as local products, traditions and culture. This not only boosts the local economy, but also helps to sustain and strengthen local businesses, creating new jobs and supporting the development of local communities.
Furthermore, localism contributes to the sustainability of the tourism sector, as it reduces the use of resources from other regions and encourages the use of local goods and services, reducing the ecological footprint of tourism activities. Thus, integrating localism into tourism practices enhances sustainability awareness, both among visitors and local businesses, creating a more responsible and sustainable tourism destination.
