💧 Bathing water quality: excellent (official assessment by the Greek Ministry of Environment, 2025 — monitoring point “Loutro Kotsikias”, 24 m from the beach)
Kotsikias beach is located near the homonymous settlement, in Pelion and the Sporades. Its orientation is eastward, with a view towards the sea. The landscape is characterized by the natural environment of the area.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
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 orientation is computed from the shape of the shore; how much its bay shelters it has not been checked yet.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with westerly (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.
