Hohlakas Beach Telendos

Hohlakas Beach is a remote and strikingly beautiful pebbled shore on the western coast of Telendos, famously known as the best spot on the island to watch the sunset over the open sea. It features a shore of smooth black and grey volcanic pebbles with exceptionally clear, deep blue water that reflects the dramatic geology of the region. The beach is entirely unorganized and maintains a raw, pristine character, surrounded by high rocky cliffs and low Mediterranean vegetation that provide a sense of total isolation. It is a destination for nature lovers and adventurers who want to experience the Dodecanese in its most natural and silent form away from the busier resort areas. The water is deep and fresh, offering a high-quality environment for a long swim in a rugged and secluded setting. Access is via a scenic walking path that starts from the main village and winds along the coast, taking about ten minutes. There are no commercial facilities or trees for natural shade, so you must be prepared with all your own supplies. The entry into the water is via the stones and the depth increases quickly. The atmosphere is quiet and respectful, reflecting the private spirit of the coast. It is a hidden gem.
