✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

Fakistra is a hidden cove below Tsagarada. Access is via a path, while a small waterfall meets the sand. The wild beauty of the landscape and the turquoise waters create a unique atmosphere. Ideal for those seeking an untouched beach.

Wind & waves: when to go

The beach faces east. With westerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with easterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fakistra beach suitable for children?

In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.

When is the sea calm at Fakistra?

On days with westerly (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.

Is Fakistra an organized beach?

No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
