Porto Katsiki (Greek: Πόρτο Κατσίκι, “goat port”)
- 2015 earthquake washed away the end of the beach
- Porto Katsiki has not washed away the end of the beach but it also changed the amazing viewing point.
- Porto Katsiki has parking lots and canteens.
- There is no lodging, and camping is prohibited.
- There is a stairway down to the beach from the cliff-top parking (50 steps)
- In the day, boats bring tourists to the beach
- Next to the parking, there are few canteens where you can buy food or drinks.
- Buy drinks and food before going down to the beach, because even if there are about 50 steps, going up and down at the temperature of 40 degrees is hard
- It is possible to order food on the beach from the canteen next to the parking.
- By the middle of the day, a larger part of the beach is under the shadow of the rocks in the back, while after that a parasol is necessary.
- The beach is covered with sand and stones
- The waves are common, they could be large, and there are no lifeguards, so caution is necessary.
- Get your aqua shoes for this beach. This will help you avoid any problems because of the stones
