49084, Chalikounas
Been here?
4x4 access only
Getting here needs an off-road vehicle. Check your ground clearance before setting off.
Small parking bays along Korisson Lake and the nearby beach provide an idyllic setting, with some places close to the sea. Access can be sandy, and off-road parking requires 4x4 capability; mosquitoes are numerous when the wind drops. A beach bar may be noisy, while other sections are very quiet. Fire-risk restrictions may require visitors to leave during hot periods, and there are no services.

We couldn't stay initially because of the fire risk; the civil guard asked us to leave. When temperatures dropped, we were able to access it with our H3L3 without any problems. A few quad bikes, cars, and pedestrians pass by, but overall it remains quiet. Access to the sea is nice. Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of bees. No amenities; please respect this place.
October, and I managed to drive to the end of this road in a normal camper van and turn around without issue. Because there is a low dune between the road and the long beach, the only spot with a sea view is right next to Tayo beach bar, which is very chilled this time of the year- you hear the ocean more than the music. The mosquitoes are a plague which prevents being outside after dark.
Anyone without a mosquito net should get one beforehand; as soon as the wind dies down, there are mosquitoes everywhere. It is still easily accessible by any car; only off-road access requires a 4x4. We stayed 20 meters from the sea on very fine sand. Mega quiet, mega views. 500 meters farther on is a beach bar with great music and a little activity.
No longer accessible: the road has turned into a dune, on both sides. Nothing but sand.
Beautiful beach. The shower at the bar has low water pressure, and the bar plays loud music for a long time. Lots of mosquitoes. Nevertheless, very pleasant :)
Stayed here for 2 nights without any problems. Arrived late at night so we could get a space (8m motorhome). No services, beach bar a bit loud so we camped 100m before it. I wouldn't go past the beach bar as it gets very sandy and there's no place to turnaround in a large vehicle.
Parking spaces along a dusty and bumpy road. During the day it can still be somewhat busy, even in the low season; at night it was quiet during our stay. Toward the south, near the canal, naturism is predominantly practiced. We could not find showers or rubbish bins nearby.
Excellent, quiet, beautiful beach, nudist at the south end for that all over tan. Lots of little areas to park up. Kitesurfing school and beach bar.
Quiet, level. Be careful, cars may get stuck in the spaces where the ground is somewhat soft (as happened to us with a small Renault Trafic, rescued by a Jeep during a full off-road safari). No services—no shower or water—at this time of year.
Splendid and quiet beach. Accessible to everyone. 4x4s will have plenty of choice to find a spot near the sea, but be careful not to damage the vegetation.
Really nice spot. We just parked along the way before the Taverna. We didn’t leave our van alone because DURING DAYTIME THERE CAN BE BREAK’ins. Bur for us personally it felt completely safe to stay there.
