Xilomata Beach

Xilomata Beach is a stunning location known for its clear waters and pebble beach. The beach is secluded, offering beautiful views and coves, making it a paradise for those who manage to reach it. However, it's important to note that the beach is not easily accessible. It can be reached either by boat or by a combination of driving and walking. The beach is located near the town of Poros, and it takes about 1 1/2 hours to reach it from there. The journey involves driving along a track as far as possible, after which visitors might need to walk a little further. The roads leading to the beach are not in good condition, and it's recommended to use an off-road vehicle such as a 4x4 or a quad. After parking the vehicle, visitors will need to climb down to the beach, which is described as an easy climb. Alternatively, the beach can be reached by boat, with rentals available in Sami. Once at the beach, visitors can enjoy the tranquility as it's not usually crowded. However, it's recommended to bring water shoes due to the pebble beach. On the way to the beach, visitors might encounter local wildlife such as cows, bulls, and goats. These animals are harmless, but their presence on the path might require some detours. Despite the challenging journey to get there, visitors agree that the beauty and seclusion of Xilomata Beach make it well worth the effort.
