A passable dirt-road reaches this attractive beach from Lenta.
Isolated, it has coarse sand and pebbles, ideal for lovers of spearfishing. Though it is not developed, yet you will find some tavernas and rentable rooms nearby.
When here, it is worth visiting the sacred shrine of the Panagia (the Virgin Mary), built inside a rocky outcrop. Look at the icons depicting her by running water. This imagery, local legend has it, is connected to the church’s construction: Mary caused the water to flow so that the church could be built.
This also goes by the names of Trachoulas and Psili Ammos. It is an impressive beach with deep grey-green waters, as well as sand, pebbles and tall sheer cliffs, suited to climbing. In these have formed many caves: the only places where you will find shade, since the beach is not organized in any way. Because of the high rocks that give it a secluded nature, nudists have a preference for it.
It is also a perfect spot for those who indulge in underwater exploration. To reach it you have a choice of two routes.
The first starts from the village of Krotos: some 300 m after the village, you will come to the entrance to the Trafoulas gorge, which you must take to arrive at the beach. The second way in starts at Lenta, from where you drive down the dirt-path to Loutra and an entrance to the gorge: leaving your vehicle, you continue on foot to the beach – it is a delightful walk and takes about 20 minutes. However, because of the relatively long distances to traverse, the beach is not that suited to camping. Of course, you can alternatively approach by boat from Lenta.
Next comes Trypiti, an isolated beach at the mouth of the gorge of that name.

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.
