Chomatistra Beach

Chomatistra Beach is a picturesque location known for its clear sea and quiet atmosphere. The beach is home to a diverse range of biomes, including complexes of big rocks, gravel, sand, and seaweed. These features make it an ideal spot for snorkeling, with many species of small fish to be observed. The beach can be accessed by boat, or by a scenic route from a nearby wind farm. However, the journey can be challenging, particularly on the uphill return, so visitors are advised to wear trainers. The beach is located near a small church, and the gravel road leading to the church is passable by any car. From the church, it's a downhill walk of approximately 30 minutes to reach the beach. The path can be difficult, particularly the ascent, and sturdy footwear is recommended. The beach is often subject to strong winds, particularly from the north, which can affect the overall beach experience. Parking is limited near the beach, and the area can be quite secluded, often leaving visitors alone to enjoy the natural beauty. However, the beach's natural characteristics can vary with the seasons, and there may be times when the beach is less accessible due to high tides.
