The path to Kolatsos beach is graced by the tranquil Kiliaris Potamos, a languid stream flanked by swaying bamboo and traversed by a unique wooden bridge, which glows in the evening. The journey through fields of bamboo and olive groves is a delightful experience that is well worth the effort. Ample parking is available in close proximity to the bridge, making it a convenient destination for visitors.

4 Frustrating

The beach is quite expansive, yet it unfortunately lacks cleanliness. The sand is particularly unclean, with various debris scattered throughout. The sunbeds also appear to be in need of cleaning. However, there are some seating areas that come equipped with showers.
