Kalogria Beach

Location

Achaia, Peloponnese

Beach Name

Kalogria

My Rating Overall

3=good beach, would choose it for swimming among other beaches if we were in the area

Beach

S=sand (sandy beach)

Sea Floor

S=sand (sandy beach)

Water

3=very nice and clean sea. We would go swimming there again if we were in the area

(just my own unscientific observation of the water feel and appearance)
My family and I enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, cool and refreshing instead of warm, and free of any visible floating particles of any kind. Also we do not like to see algae of any kind settled on the beach.

Clothing

Topless sunbathing is common

Access

Good=paved road all the way to the beach, parking near the beach

Amenities

C=cantina (on the beach)
O=organized beach in front of the hotel
H=hotel on the beach

RV / Camper Accessibility

N= Site is unsuitable for RV parking

Snorkeling

S=only sand bottom
N=does not look promising, I did not dive

Notes

A large hotel has appropriated half the beach although bathers can certainly use the facilities. The hotel also offers a great deal of water sports activities and organizes professional sport event like beach volleyball tournaments.

When we visited there was a beach volleyball turnament taking place in front of the large hotel, and parking on the narrow road was a pain. We reached the beach just to find that there were no parking spots. Turning around in the narrow road was a major production, and we had to park far from the beach.

Overall, not too bad of a place to swim. Nice sand and nice water.

Visitors' Reports:

Kalogria beach is a well kept secret. We have visited this beach sine 1978 and were back there again the summer of 2007. It is nice to see that not much has changed....still only a couple of hotels and not the concrete jungle we expected to see. The sand is white and soft and for families very shallow. Very clean refreshing water. The drive to the beach takes you through an unusual pine forest . Tall umbrella -like pines that have been preserved for years. On our last visit my daughter and I tried para-sailing...the view of the turquoise water was breathtaking....highly recommend this spot! -- by Jen and Lei (2008)

Comments this is the best beach in the whole world. it has lovely soft sand; trees at the back which offer shade; rocks around the edge where people can go snorkling and which house a spring water pool; and crystal clear cool turquoise sea water. there's also a volleyball net, room to play bat and ball and pedaloes&canoes available for hire. the beach bars around the back of the beach are brilliant and in general the entire beach just rocks.
