Kalogria Beach
Παραλία Καλόγριας
A long sandy beach backed by Strophylia pine forest, with dunes connected to lagoons. It is the first choice for Patras locals in summer.
Kalogria Beach lies about 35 km southwest of Patras. Its golden sand stretches about 7 km and is backed by the Strophylia stone pine forest. Dunes, lagoons, and wetlands connect to it. The area is part of the EU Natura 2000 protected network, where visitors can see flamingos and other waterbirds. The sea is clear and gently sloping. There are beach bars and sunbed rentals, as well as quiet natural stretches. Summer weekends are busy with locals. It is free to visit, and you need to drive there.
