Kanakia Beach

Kanakia Beach is a picturesque beach located on the island of Salamina, Greece. Known for its crystal clear waters and serene atmosphere, it is often described as 'outer worldly'. The beach is surrounded by a lush pine forest, which provides a stunning view over the entire island. The shoreline is adorned with trees, providing ample shade for visitors. The beach is also home to a variety of seashells and a few urchins, adding to its natural charm. The beach is accessible through the pine forest, making it a bit of a journey from the port. However, the tranquil beauty of the beach makes the effort worthwhile. It is recommended to visit early in the day to secure a spot under the shade of the trees. There are also a few mini coves to the north of the beach, perfect for those seeking a bit of solitude. Despite its remote location, Kanakia Beach can get quite crowded, especially during the weekends. However, during the middle of the week and out of season, it is possible to enjoy the beach in relative solitude. There are amenities such as a tavern located at the end of the beach for the convenience of visitors.
