Beach overall scores
Karavas beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Sikamia 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 Serifos island and the correct question is not how to get to Karavas beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"After enduring an hour-long trek under the blazing sun and passing by a church perched on a cliff, I finally arrived at a truly divine location. Highly recommended!"
Lorenzo Bianchi
"The beach is lovely, but getting there can be tricky since it's only accessible by boat or a challenging hike. Although the beach is quite long, it's covered in stones and there aren't many shaded areas to escape the sun. However, if you're looking for a secluded spot away from the crowds, this beach is perfect. It's not well-organized, but the picturesque scenery is typical..."
