Kartos Beach Kea

Kartos is a remote and wild beach located on the southeastern coast of Kea, offering an experience of total solitude and raw natural beauty. The shore is a mix of coarse sand and large pebbles, and the water is a deep, transparent blue that is typical of the island’s more isolated eastern bays. Access is via a challenging dirt road or by boat, which ensures that it remains one of the quietest spots on the entire island even in August. There are no facilities, no shade, and no commercial activity, so the atmosphere is entirely silent and focused on the elements. It is an ideal destination for adventurous travelers who want to escape the main tourist hubs and find a private corner of the Aegean. The surrounding rocky hills provide a dramatic backdrop, and the clarity of the water is perfect for snorkeling around the jagged coastal edges. It is a place for those who value silence.
