About

Kape Beach is located on the Saronic Gulf (part of Aegean Sea) and it is in the 19th place out of 409 beaches in the Attica region 42.2 km away from its center, the city of Atene. It is one of the most beautiful beaches of Charakas settlement, just 1.7 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views.

It is a small bay with crystal turquoise water and light fine pebble, so you don't need special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is partially crowded during the high season.

Kape Beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

Getting to the beach is quite simple: just take a short walk along the trail. Parking is located directly on the beach.

12 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Legrena Beach, which has a rating of 7.6.

Kape Beach (Attica) is located outside the Charakas settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Kape Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

This beach is absolutely amazing, with crystal-clear waters and a stunning view of an island that's just a two-hour drive from Athens.

This beach is amazing, it gives off a Greek island vibe! However, on weekends, finding a parking spot and a spot for your umbrella can be difficult, so it's best to arrive early.

The beach offers a fantastic location, view, and overall experience. The Kape Beach Bar serves up delicious, homemade meals with high-quality ingredients and friendly service.

If you're seeking a break from the typical crowded beaches and desire to indulge in a picturesque coastline with crystal clear turquoise waters, this destination is ideal for you. The absence of shade and trees necessitates that you bring your own sun protection equipment such as an umbrella and sunscreen. The sole establishment in the vicinity is a beach bar, so you should pack your own refreshments and snacks. It's important to note that the water becomes deep after a few meters, so it's essential to keep a close eye on young children.

Journey Tale

10 Exceptional

If you're looking for a fantastic beach to visit in Attica, look no further! The photos speak for themselves, showcasing the stunning blue waters of the Aegean Sea. And if you need to quench your thirst, there's a bar conveniently located right on the beach. What sets this beach apart from others is the fact that the water isn't as salty, making it a more pleasant swimming experience. And if you're feeling daring, you might notice that many of the ladies there are topless. Getting to the beach is a breeze thanks to the stone ladder that provides easy access. And once you're in the water, you'll find that the sea floor is safe for the first five meters, with small stones giving way to larger ones as you venture deeper. If you're a fan of snorkeling or diving, be sure to bring your mask - there are plenty of different species of fish to discover. And thanks to the currents in the area, the water quality is top-notch. Finally, for those who need to take care of business, chemical toilets are available on site. All in all, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a day of sun, sand, and sea.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Kape Beach (Attica) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Kape Beach (Attica) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Kape Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
