Kyra Panagia Beach
Κυρά Παναγιά
A golden sandy bay at the end of a valley, where a small white chapel to the Virgin Mary with a red dome is the island's most photographed scene.
Kyra Panagia lies about 15 km north of Pigadia. A green valley leads down to a golden sandy bay, where a small white chapel with a red dome by the shore sets off the bright blue water. It is one of the most familiar scenes on Karpathos postcards. The beach has good facilities, with sunbeds, restaurants, and accommodation, and it suits families who want to swim. You can drive there, or in summer take an island tour boat that also stops at Apella.
