Accessibility hard
ABOUT
Situated approximately 6 kilometres from the port of Karave on the enchanting island of Gavdos, Pyrgos Beach is one of the many wonderful beaches that adorn the island. The beach is divided into two smaller sections by rocks in the middle, and it is bordered by steep dirt cliffs at the back. With its crystal-clear waters and golden-reddish sand, Pyrgos Beach offers a captivating and serene coastal experience.
Pyrgos Beach is not easily accessible, requiring a 2-2.5-hour walk from Ambelos or arrival by boat from Lavrakas Beach. It lacks any facilities or shade, making it essential for visitors to bring all necessary supplies.
