Amenities from OpenStreetMap — they may have changed and the list is not exhaustive.
💧 Bathing water quality: excellent (official assessment by the Greek Ministry of Environment, 2025 — monitoring point “Akoumiani Gialia - Triopetra Mikri”, 36 m from the beach)
A beach with fine pebbles near the settlement of Triopetra. Oriented to the southwest, it offers views of the Libyan Sea. The landscape is calm and natural.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces southwest. With northeasterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southwesterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The orientation is computed from the shape of the shore; how much its bay shelters it has not been checked yet.
The shore faces southwest (225°), 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.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with northeasterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
