Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Kythira beach (Kithira island) 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 Kythira beach (Kithira island) 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 Kythira 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.

Please note that the road is not currently paved. As in July 2023, it has been slightly widened and leveled, but it remains unpaved with clay. You can cautiously drive regular cars on it until the last kilometer. However, beyond that point, only 4x4 vehicles can navigate it. Be cautious and don't be deceived by those who claim it is paved. Unfortunately, I couldn't access the beach myself as I don't own a 4x4, but it appears stunning from above.

The bay is absolutely stunning, especially during the off-season when there are hardly any people around. Currently, the road leading to the beach is undergoing reconstruction, making it fully paved, which is quite rare on this island.

The beach is absolutely stunning. We had the whole place to ourselves. However, we did come across a significant amount of litter that had washed up. It's best to access the beach via a 4WD vehicle. Anything else would be extremely dangerous.
