Kato Fana Beach is a small, beautiful beach located at the South West of Chios Island. The beach is known for its crystal clear water, which is a bit colder than some other Chios beaches. The beach is not overly crowded, making it a popular choice for both tourists and locals. The beach is a mix of pebble and sand, and the waters become deep after walking 5-6 meters into the water.
The beach is accessible by car via a countryside road, part of which is gravel. The journey to the beach is noted for its scenic beauty, with untouched greenery along the way. However, there are no amenities at the beach, so visitors are advised to bring whatever they might need with them.
In addition to the beach itself, visitors can also explore the ancient Temple of Apollo, on which a small church has been built using parts of the old stones and marbles from the ruins. The inside of this small church is worth noticing.
Visitor reviews highlight the beauty and tranquility of the beach, with its crystal clear water, sandy shores, and untouched greenery being particularly appreciated. The beach's depth after a few meters into the water and its location, although a bit far, are seen as worth the effort due to the rewarding experience. However, some visitors express concerns about the colder water temperature and the gravel road leading to the beach.
Visitors to Kato Fana Beach often stay in the nearby town of Pyrgi, known for its unique geometric black-and-white patterned houses and vibrant local culture.
