Samothraki, Macedonia and Thrace, Greece

Kipos

Kipos, also known as Kípoi, is a location within the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. It is situated approximately at sea level, making it an appealing destination for sea lovers. The population of the region, as per the 2011 census, is 193 occupants.

One of the notable attractions in Kipos is the Kipos Beach. This beach is not typical as it is characterized by a rocky terrain rather than sand. Despite the lack of sand, the beach and its surrounding scenery are captivating. The sea is crystal clear, providing ample space for visitors to relax and appreciate the natural beauty. The beach is at the end of a long tarmac road, which is scenic, but in need of some repair, so visitors are advised to drive cautiously.

However, Kipos Beach is relatively remote and wild, offering a sense of tranquility and isolation. Due to its remote nature, the beach lacks amenities such as lounge chairs, beach bars, or facilities. Shade is also very limited, and the rocky terrain might make it challenging to erect umbrellas, particularly in windy conditions. Consequently, visitors are encouraged to bring their own food, water, and appropriate sun protection. Wild animals, including turtles and goats, can be spotted around the beach, adding to its wild charm.

While temperatures will reach a warm 26.9 °C, the potential for stormy weather makes outdoor conditions unpredictable and potentially unsafe. If you are near the water, please stay alert and be prepared to move to shelter quickly if conditions worsen. The sea is quite pleasant at 27.3 °C and relatively calm with gentle waves, but the incoming weather activity takes priority over swimming today.
