Spathies beach

The Spaties Beach is located approximately 7.5km south of Nikiti. When coming from Nikiti, after the turn for Kalogria, continue straight for about 1km until you reach the turn for Spaties. You can park your car in the widenings by the road, and since there is not much space, it is advisable to visit the beach early in the morning during the season.

Detailed description:

The Spaties Beach actually consists of two separate beaches, a small and a large cove.

Small cove:

The small beach is closer to the road and you will encounter it first.
It is only 50m long, with a large tree in the middle providing deep shade.
Almost all visitors gather under the tree, creating a crowded area.
The water is turquoise, the sand is fine, and the sea is calm, making the beach perfect for relaxation and paddling.

Large cove:

If you are not in the mood for crowds, continue walking on the path so that the small beach remains on your right side.
After a minute’s walk, you will reach the large beach, which is completely different from the small one.
Approximately 200m long, this beach is uncrowded and ideal for those seeking peace.
Some natural shade can be found for relaxation, but it is advisable to bring your own umbrella.
The beach is sandy with a gradual entry into the water, and rocks can be found at both ends of the beach, so if you enjoy diving, it will be interesting for you.

Neither of the two beaches is organized. They do not have umbrellas or sunbeds, toilets, or showers, so bring your own equipment and plan your meals, as there are no restaurants or fast-food kiosks nearby.

Very close to Spaties Beach is Kalogria Beach, so you can visit it on the same day. It is close by, so you can also take a walk to it, and in the next cove when heading towards Nikiti, there is Koviou Beach.
