Kotronas beaches

Kotronas is the gateway to Mani that manages to combine wild beauty with absolute serenity. A land of stone and light, where the beaches offer options for every mood: from family relaxation in shallow waters to secluded swims in hidden coves.

The Highlights:

Skopa (Islet) : A pebbly strip of land between two seas leading to the chapel of Agios Nikolaos.

Chalikia Vatta : A stunning beach with large snow-white pebbles and turquoise waters, perfect for snorkeling.

Sykia : A small, secret beach at the end of the path on the Skopa peninsula, for those seeking ultimate seclusion.

The Experience Plan (Day by Day):

Day 1: The Charm of Skopa. Morning swim at the double beach, hike to Agios Nikolaos, and discovery of the hidden Sykia beach.

Day 2: Family Serenity. Relaxation at the central sandy beach of Kotronas with its shallow, crystal-clear waters.

Day 3: The Wild Beauty of Chalikia. Visit Chalikia Vatta for snorkeling and enjoying the authentic Maniot landscape.

Hero Tip : At Chalikia Vatta, shade is non-existent. Make sure to bring your own umbrella and supplies, as the beach remains pristine and unorganized.
