Achla Beach, located on an island in the Cyclades, Greece, is a destination known for its striking natural beauty. The beach is characterized by its pebbly terrain, crystal blue waters, and the surrounding rock formations that contribute to its appeal. Behind the beach, the Achla riverbed, adorned with lush vegetation and towering trees, provides natural shade. Positioned to face the east, the beach offers a unique view.
The journey to Achla Beach is a bit challenging due to its remote location. It requires an off-road adventure of about 8 kilometers, and although a 4x4 vehicle is suggested for the trip, regular city cars can also reach the destination. However, the final turn of the road is somewhat damaged, so it is recommended to park the vehicle a bit higher. Alternatively, access to the beach is also possible by boat.
Despite its beauty, Achla Beach is typically not crowded, with only a few people choosing to camp there because of its prime location. However, there are no nearby cafes or canteens, so visitors are advised to bring their own provisions. On windy days, the beach can become wavy, making it hard to set up an umbrella. Despite these minor challenges, the untouched nature and tranquility of Achla Beach make it a highly recommended spot for nature enthusiasts.
