Beach overall scores
Paralia Vatha (South Aegean) is located outside the Kipos Afiarti 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 Vatha 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
"This beach is absolutely amazing! The water is crystal clear and pristine, and there are plenty of umbrellas to provide shade from the sun. While there is sand on the beach, there are also rocks outside of the water. Overall, this is a truly wonderful spot to spend a day soaking up the sun and enjoying the natural beauty of the area."
Sofia Katsaros Papadopoulos
"The beach is a haven for surfers, but even those who don't ride the waves can still revel in the spectacle of the surfers in action. The beach is breezy, with water so clear that you can see right through it. For those who want to relax on the sand, sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent at the beach bar for €15 per set."
