Kokkinia Beach

A broad sandy beach for an easy first sea day from Agios Dimitrios Zarakas.

Why go

Walk a little along Kokkinia before choosing where to swim. The reddish slopes behind the sand and the light towards evening invite you to linger. Look across the bay as well as along the shore; there is more to enjoy here than a swim.

Plan it from Agios Dimitrios

Drive south from the village and make Kokkinia the focus of a relaxed beach day. Nearby Limanakia offers a different, smaller-cove experience if you want a second stop. Check the wind and sea before swimming.

Make a stay of it

Set out from Sparta Gaia.

Return to the village after a day by the sea or in the mountains.
