Achata Beach
Αχάτα
A small pebble cove encircled by white limestone cliffs, with crystal-clear water, just twenty minutes' drive from the capital.
Achata Beach lies about 10 km north of Pigadia. A steep mountain road leads from the main road down to the sea, with towering white cliffs on one side and blue-green water on the other. The beach is covered in white pebbles, and snorkelling reveals rocks and fish. In summer there is a small restaurant and sun-bed rental. The mountain road is narrow with sharp bends, so drive carefully. It can be combined with Kyra Panagia and Apella on a day tour of the east coast.
