Unnamed Road, 230 52, Kyparissi
Been here?
A scenic daytime parking area beside a magical pebble bay, popular for swimming, snorkelling and climbing. It has a faucet and a brackish-water shower, neither suitable for drinking, even after filtration. The village driveway is narrow, although the route was manageable for a 5.5m Ducato; a small beach canteen is present.

The road to the beach was no problem at all for our 5.5m Ducato, even though we met oncoming cars several times. There is a small, low-key beach canteen, and the owner told me that last year the police came by quite frequently to check on motorhomes and asked them to leave. However, under the new regulations this year, they haven't shown up at all. Overall it is a magical place. don't miss!
Mega spot, there were about 10 campers there. Dreamy bay for swimming and snorkeling. The approach was no problem with our 6m Ducato, despite oncoming traffic. The journey is worth it.
Magnificent pebble beach. The road to get there is not easy, with very tight hairpin bends and a narrow road when cars meet, but we managed it with our 6.75m motorhome. The only downside: it was full of wasps.
Very good spot for the day or longer. There were 10 other campers with us. Absolute peace despite a little wind in the evening. The road is said to be difficult with a camper, but in reality it is passable with a 6-meter vehicle. Also a very good climbing spot.
Absolutely no mobile phone reception. Very popular with locals and other vans, who park annoyingly close right next to you even though the area is very large. The toilets were locked. Because of the high cliffs, the sun only shines here for a few hours around midday.
great carpark as a base for great rock climbing. Has obvious no camping signs. still lots of people camped saying they are not camping but parking, seems a bit cheeky.
A truly dreamy bay and lovely climbing! However, people defecate in the bushes and leave toilet paper behind, etc. Please show some decency! Use a spade, for example, or put it in a plastic bag and dispose of it in the bin! It can't be that difficult!
The approach is long, steep, and partly bumpy, but manageable. We stayed down below with 19 other campers, which totally surprised us. There were campfires in every corner in the evening. Mostly climbers stayed down here. It is almost like a commune. Offline zone: there is no reception down there. Bins are available. Beautiful beach and surroundings. The climbing area is less than a five-minute walk away.
The beach and surroundings are very beautiful, the sea is clean and fairly cold because of underwater springs. But there were far too many people for October: about 15 motorhomes in total, at least 10 of them without toilets, going to the toilet in the water and in nature. In addition, some people do not understand what camping is and need a 1,000-watt light shining all the way to Athens. Accessible with a 7m motorhome.
I would like to add a warning to others with a 6.80m camping car wishing to see this paradise. It is not often that i « give up » and turn around, especially after such strong greek coffee that morning. There is a sign forbidding mobile homes on this, a single road. So my humble advise to other rule benders is that this really is one sign to heed: for the sake of the local people and yourselves.
Very bad road to get there. Watch out for falling rocks and overhanging branches. Deserted beach; there is not much left of the bar. Overnight stays are not allowed, and neither are dogs. We immediately went back along that frightening road.
Be confident driver as very few passing places once leave village. Clear sign in village and at beach that camping not allowed Also no animals on beach and dogs not allowed to swim. Really think this needs to be day parking only as several hikes from there. Let's not upset the locals. Take care through village..I wouldn't take anything bigger than our 6.85m motorhome. No WiFi on 3 or O2.
Well, let's put things into perspective a little. Yes, it is very beautiful, but: 1) it is not that wild, since there is a tavern and a beach bar; 2) it is wild in winter, when the weather is bad and there aren't 15–20 vehicles there; 3) there is internet with a 4G antenna, and even better with Starlink. The three hikes, lasting 1, 3, and 3 hours, are nice, but after that you quickly get bored.
One of the most beautiful and amazing beaches I have been to in my life. Wild beach. Regarding access, it is true that the road is narrow for two vehicles if you have to pass other vehicles, but it is in perfect condition and paved, so there is no risk. I came here with my 8.5m by 2.45m truck, 3.80m high, with no problem. I guess it might be more difficult in summer.
Really beautiful beach and plenty of space. However, the approach is definitely not suitable for large vehicles! Very narrow, winding, and steep. There is no reception there. There was no tavern when we visited, and the toilets were closed. Warning, potentially relevant for dog owners: at least one jackal lives here.
Beware: the road is quite narrow and exposed along the mountainside, with difficult passing. The same applies when crossing Richea; Maps is useless, so stay on the main road. We arrived at the end of the day with a 2.35m-wide motorhome and passed all the locals returning from the beach. Preferably arrive or leave after 8 p.m. It is possible to turn around before the hairpins at a small parking area. Magnificent spot, with a few motorhomes.
