Fakistra Beach
Φακίστρα
A hidden cove beneath cliffs, with turquoise water and white pebbles, reachable only on foot.
Fakistra is a secluded little cove below Tsagarada. Its white pebble beach is framed by towering cliffs, and the water is a bright turquoise. You can snorkel among the rocks, and the unspoilt scenery makes it a favourite of photographers and backpackers. To get there, park at the end of the mountain road and walk down a steep path for about 10–15 minutes. The climb back up is tiring. The beach has no facilities at all, so bring your own water, food and shade, and take your rubbish with you.
