About the Beach

Orkos is a magnificent and wide beach located on the northeastern side of Kea, offering a rugged landscape and some of the best water on the island. The shore is a mix of sand and small pebbles, and the water is an intense blue color that is exceptionally clear. Because it faces the north, it is often exposed to the meltemi winds, which can create a fresh and invigorating environment. Access is via a dirt road that winds through the hills, keeping the crowds away even during the peak of summer. There are several large trees at the back of the beach that provide natural shade, which is a rare and welcome feature on this side of the island. It is a very quiet and unorganized spot that attracts those who love wild nature and deep, cool water. The scale of the bay makes it feel very open and free.
