Detailed description:

The beach consists of two parts separated by a rocky cape.

Cove closer to Agios Ioannis

• The cove closer to Agios Ioannis is about 400m long.
• It is sandy both on the shore and in the water, with the sand becoming finer as you move away from the shore.
• The shallow area is almost 50m long, making this beach ideal for non-swimmers and children, as well as others who enjoy playing in shallow water.
• Since the beach is almost never crowded, it is ideal for playing with a ball in the water.
• In the hinterland of the beach, there are mostly private complexes, so there are no facilities for tourists on the beach.
• It is necessary to bring towels, umbrellas, food, and water with you.

Second, smaller cove

• The second, smaller cove is also beautiful, sandy on the shore, while in the water there are both sandy and rocky parts, but it is also rarely visited, so you can enjoy peace here as well.

From Castri beach, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

We recommend Castri beach to everyone who enjoys less commercial sandy beaches where they can relax in peace, as well as to families with young children because of the shallow area.

It is believed that the area of Castri is located at the site of the ancient city of Galipsos, mentioned by the historian Herodotus.
