Beach description
Many Greek beaches surrounded by cliffs, like Kokkinokastro, but here they are reddish-brown, overgrown with green vegetation, which in combination with white-yellow pebble-sandy surface and blue sea creates a unique color scheme. The water in quiet bay is quite cold, but these places are ideal for snorkeling: a few meters from the shore at the bottom you can find ruins of the neolithic city of Eikos and explore them underwater. The entrance to the water is gentle, suitable for both adults and children.
Kokkinokastro is equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas, but this is what its arrangement is limited to. There are no bars and taverns here, so you should stock up on food and drinks in advance. Nearby is a small hotel, where you can find accommodation and admire the beauty of Kokkinokastro for several days running.
When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
