Karathona Beach
Παραλία Καραθώνα
A long sandy beach behind Palamidi, with shallow water, fine sand and shade trees. It is a favorite of Nafplio residents.
Karathona Beach is about 2 km long, in the bay on the south side of Palamidi. Its sand is soft and fine, and the water is calm, making it suitable for families. The beach has beach bars, small restaurants and shade from eucalyptus trees. It is about a 10-minute drive from the old town. Buses run in summer, or you can walk about 40 minutes from Arvanitia Beach along the coastal path, with lovely scenery along the way. The beach is free, but sunbeds require a purchase.
