Beach overall scores
Paralia Kato Lakkos (South Aegean) is located outside the Katodio 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 Karpathos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Paralia Kato Lakkos with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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 doesn't quite match the pictures, but it's still not bad. It's very peaceful and there's always a spot to unwind. It's a 15-minute walk to get there. I recommend parking and not driving down unless you have a 4x4 car, as the path is not great. Overall, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars."

"This beach is absolutely stunning! The hike up and down is definitely worth it. Make sure to walk 150 meters along the big stones to the left to reach the incredible cave."

Paralia Kato Lakkos (Karpathos island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Paralia Kato Lakkos (Karpathos island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Paralia Kato Lakkos for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
