Papafragas
Παπάφραγκας
A narrow sea-carved inlet between white rock walls, where seawater flows in through a rock arch to form a small lagoon with a tiny beach. It is a popular photo spot.
Papafragas was formed by the sea eroding volcanic rock. Tall rock walls rise on both sides of the inlet, which connects to the open sea through a rock arch. Legend says it was once a hiding place for pirate ships. From the roadside parking area, rock steps carved into the cliff lead down to the small beach at the bottom. The steps are steep and slippery. It is about a 5-minute drive from Pollonia, and nearby is the Bronze Age Phylakopi site.
