Fokiada beach (Central Greece) is located outside the Acherounes settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Skyros island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach is a bit difficult to access, but it's worth the effort. The best part is that it offers free public entry, so you don't have to worry about any fees. Overall, it's a great spot to relax and soak up the sun."

"The pathway leading to the tranquil beach is a smooth and unpaved road, but unfortunately, it is obstructed at one point."
