Welcome to Eleonas country village

Distance from Eleonas: ≈ 29 km (~35 min) The beach is quiet and sandy, home to nesting loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from May to September. The beach is not organized — no sunbeds or parasols are available — so bring your own shade if needed. We recommend the left side of Kommos beach, near the Bunga Bunga tavern, where access to the water is easier and there are fewer rocks when entering.

Located about 4 km east of Lentas, this secluded beach lies at the exit of a small canyon on Cape Trafoulas (or Trahilas). To reach it, drive from Lentas harbour (Loutra) toward Krotos village. After about 500 meters, you’ll see a small gorge on your right — this marks the beginning of the hiking trail. Park your car and follow the trail for around 15–20 minutes to reach the beach. Expect complete seclusion, dramatic scenery, and refreshing crystal-clear waters.

Continue by car from Moni Odigitria. A secluded, spiritual gorge once used by early Christian hermits. Towering vertical cliffs, caves, and a narrow footpath lead to a stunning beach.
