Santorini Katharos beach

Information about Katharos beach

Katharos Beach is a secluded beach at the northwestern part of the island, 1 km away from Oia. It is a pebbled beach, with a rocky landscape that is totally unspoiled, as well as a quiet atmosphere that makes it ideal for those who want to explore a less touristy side of the island.

Katharos Beach is quite hard to access, since the only way to get there is a steep path, but the experience is truly rewarding.
The beach is unorganized and there are no facilities besides a bar-restaurant and a car parking area located at around 3-5 minutes away from the beach.
Getting there from Oia takes approximately 20 minutes on foot.
Note: The beach can become very wavy on windy days.

Tip: Make sure to wear appropriate shoes so that you can get to the beach comfortably!
