ABOUT
Access to this exceptional location is possible by walking a 3.5-kilometre path from Korfos, surrounded by picturesque pine trees and old stone farmhouses.
Tripiti Beach is adorned with pebbles and gravel, while its seabed boasts a sandy terrain. Notably, the distinctive feature of this beach is the Kamarelles, three large arches formed on the rocks. The first arch is even wide enough for a small boat to pass through., Tripiti derived its name from these unique ‘holes’, given that ‘tripiti’ means ‘with holes’ in Greek.
On these arches, the Russian nuclear scientists who sought refuge on Gavdos after the Chernobyl disaster, constructed a giant chair, embracing renewable energy sources. Adjacent to the beach, a dry riverbed leads to Aliki, a salt lake that accommodates migratory birds until early spring.
While visiting or returning from Tripiti, a stop in Vatsiana, the southernmost habitable settlement in Europe, is highly recommended.
