Paralia Papafragkas is a small beach located in a stunning natural landscape. The beach is known for its unique natural characteristics, including a deep sea cave where visitors can swim in turquoise waters between gray and white rocks that lead to the open sea. The beach is surrounded by bright light rocks, adding to its beauty.
The beach is not easily accessible as it requires going down a steep carving on the rock. Despite its challenging access, it's a peaceful spot, perfect for watching the sunset. However, visitors should be aware that the beach can get very hot and there is no shade available.
The beach has a historical significance as well. In Byzantine times, it was used as a base for pirates. It took its name from the last Frank Pope who used the beach to protect his boat.
Visitor reviews highlight the stunning natural landscape and crystal clear waters of the beach as the most appealing features. The unique experience of swimming in the turquoise waters of the Papafragas Cave, surrounded by gray and white rocks, is also highly praised. However, visitors complain about the beach being small, overly hot, lacking shade, and occasionally closed due to safety concerns.
