Kolokitha Beach, also known as Kolokytha Beach, is a picturesque sandy cove located in Elounda, Crete. This small but lovely beach is situated on the eastern side of the Spinalonga peninsula, approximately 12km north of Agios Nikolaos.
Known for its crystal-clear waters and natural protection provided by surrounding cliffs, Kolokitha Beach offers visitors a serene environment for swimming and relaxation. The beach provides stunning views of the nearby Kolokytha Island, enhancing its scenic appeal.
While Kolokitha Beach is praised for its beauty, it’s worth noting that it can become crowded during peak times, especially when tour boats arrive. Many boat trips to the area include stops at this beach, allowing tourists to enjoy swimming and sometimes barbecues on the shore.
