Bella Vraka is the iconic sandbar of Sivota, where one can walk through the shallow waters to the islet of Mourtemeno. The sand and crystalline waters create a postcard image, with natural protection from the bay. Ideal for families and relaxation.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces west. With easterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with westerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The bay is naturally well sheltered — conditions often remain swimmable even on breezy days.
The shore faces west (250°), so all year round the sun sets within its field of view, over the water.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
Yes — the water deepens gradually, making it one of the better choices for small children.
On days with easterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Thanks to the sheltered bay it is one of the safer bets in the area on windy days.
No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
