Valtaki Beach

Valtaki Beach is a long, wild, fine sand beach known for its natural beauty and historical significance. It is characterized by its clear, crystal sea, large stone slabs, and the popular Dimitrios Wreck that dominates the landscape. The beach is also a sanctuary for turtles, where they dig nests for their eggs. The beach is never too crowded, making it a relaxing destination for visitors. The beach is located between the equipped beach of Glyfada and the Dimitrios Wreck. Here, visitors can explore the ruins of an ancient building, with remains of the masonry visible underwater a stone’s throw from the shore. The beach also features a natural landscape of sand dunes and bushy vegetation. An interesting feature of the beach is the wreck of a steel ship, which ran ashore many decades ago and has been rusting ever since. Amenities at Valtaki Beach include free and shaded parking in the camping area. There are also a couple of places to eat nearby. However, visitors should be cautious as there are signs indicating that they should not get too close to the shipwreck. Additionally, as one gets closer to the wreck, there are more rocks under the water to watch out for.
