‘Kastraki’ beach
Kastraki is a small earthly paradise, just 10 minutes from the castle town of Monemvasia. Located north of Pori beach, right below the ruins of ancient Epidaurus Limera, it is a haven of serenity.
The small forest that reaches almost to the water's edge offers the luxury of dense natural shade, making the beach an ideal destination for those seeking coolness and tranquility in a lush green environment.
The Highlights :
Natural Shade : The trees bordering the sandy shore provide a cool refuge all day long, making beach umbrellas optional.
Historical Backdrop : The presence of the ancient acropolis right above adds a unique sense of timelessness to your experience.
Family Comfort : Fine sand and crystal-blue waters are perfect for children, while convenient parking under the trees ensures stress-free access.
The Experience Plan (Day by Day):
Day 1: Relaxation in the Woods. Enjoy swimming in the calm waters and relax under the shade of the trees with a good book.
Day 2: Historical Stroll. Combine your dives with a short exploration at the foot of the ancient castle of Epidaurus Limera.
Day 3: From Kastraki to Gerakas. Use the beach as an ideal stopover on your route towards the stunning port of Gerakas.
Hero Tip: Avoid Kastraki when north or northeast winds blow, as the beach is exposed and the waves can disrupt the landscape's tranquility.
