kolona beach

Difficult road by land but if you finally get there it will dedinatelly rewards with its crystal clear water both sides of a slim line of sand

this is a lovely place to spend a few hours. it really is unique. we arrived by taxi boat from Merichas and were able to find a nice spot easily. the few shade trees were already taken over by a couple of greek families. the water was perfect for swimming. after a couple of hours the whole area began to fill with yachts and boats mooring very close to the beach and the place began to become pretty crowded with the usual football and bat and ball in your face. we were there on a Sunday so that probably accounted for the busy beach activities. there is a taverna sitting above the beach in a lovely location. we went there for lunch and were surprised at the less than average food on offer. there were not many people eating there probably because it was a Sunday and all the Greek families had picnics.probably if we had visited the beach on a weekday we would have had a very different experience.

If you visit Kythnos you definitely have to go to Kolona beach because of its uniqueness. You can go there either by car (via a bit rough dirt road) or by taxiboat (10€/person). Although there is a restaurant there, I suggest you to bring along water etc. However, there are many other beaches in the island which are less known but much more beautiful (eg Agios Sostis, Skylos beach).

The place is like paradise with the line if sand dividing the sea and connecting the main land to the island. The sand beautiful the beach amazingly beautiful. The best way to go there is by yacht or with the small boat from Merichas, because the road is really narrow and mostly for donkeys :D If you have 4x4 then no worries.

kolona is a sandy beach on kythnos, which seems to be the distinctive landmark of the island. Its peculiary is that it is a large strip of sand having the sea on both sides. One gets there from Merichas or from Hora but the last kilometre of "road" is really dangerous as it is extremely narrow and full of bents (pray not to run into a car coming from the opposite direction). Better stay at nice Apokrousi beach and have a look at it from there!

Unique double beach with gold sand and fantastic clear waters. Accessible both by car and vessel. One of Greece's best!

The beach of Kolona is basically a narrow strip of land that connects Kythnos to the isle of St. Loukas.

Crystal clear water, like paradise! there is no othere scenery like Kolona beach, unique geological phenomenon and very safe mooring place in Kythnos isl!

Positive: Amazing crystal blue waters, great view, close to the port (10 min. by sea taxi), 2 unique beaches on both sides of the sand.Negative: Can get a bit crowded, difficult to reach by car (bad dirt road)

We visited this beach with my fiancée during the off season period. It is indeed an amazing location and it lives up to the expectations ! However...as it was the off season period (June), there was no Public transportation at the island (no Buses), no real road (just a dirt road with a single lane for both directions) so the taxis refused to take us, and no sea taxis in order to get there by sea. We ended up walking an extremely long distance under a scourging sun from the nearest road where we got by taxi (for ten euros)!Fortunately a couple who had risked taking a rental through the terrible and dangerous dirt road (there are dangerous cliffs along the road and rentals are not the best cars in the world) came across poor us, and gave us a lift for part of the way ! Happily we managed to reach our destination, and the scenery was spectacular. As there was no way to get there, we were some of the few people who were there, and we had the entire beach all for ourselves ! I went past that beach on a Sunday, and it was filled with boats, yachts and tourists! So if you really want to enjoy that place, get a jeep and drive through the dangerous road during the off season in a week day ! A great surprise was the small tavern that is located right over the beach. It has an amazing view, and great Frappe coffee at very good prices !

Ειναι μια υπέροχη παραλια αποτελουμενη απο μια χρυση λωριδα άμμου που και απο τις δυο πλευρες φιλοξενεί υπεροχες παραλιες!! Ως εκει μπορείτε να πατε απο τον καπως δυσκολο χωματοδρομο απο την παραλια αποκρουση ή εναλλακτικά με καικακι απο το λιμάνι ⚓

Μια εξαιρετικης ομορφιας παραλια αλλα με δυσβατη και επικινδυνη προσβαση με αυτοκινητο Επισης τονΑυγοστο εχει παρα πολυ κοσμο και κυριως παρα πολλα σκαφη

Αν και η προσβαση με το αυτοκίνητο είναι πολυ δυσκολη ως και επικίνδυνη η παραλία αξίζει παρα πολυ... Πρεπι να πας να καθισεις με τις ωρες και να ευχαριστηθείς τα πεντακαθαρα νερα.

Η παραλία κολώνα είναι μία ομορφιά της φύσης που ξεπερνάει κάθε φαντασία , μου άρεσε αυτό που αντίκρυσα από μακρυά και όσο πλησίαζα δεν πίστευα ότι υπήρχε κάτι τέτοιο ,μια λωρίδα στεριάς ναι χωρίζει την θάλασσα σε δυο πανέμορφες παραλίες. Όταν κολύμπησα σε αυτά τα νερά ένοιωσα πολύ όμορφα που απολάμβανα αυτή την ομορφιά της φύσης.!!!!

Μία πολύ εντυπωσιακή παραλία, προστατευμένη από τον αέρα. Επιλέγεις την μια ή την άλλη πλευρά της ανάλογα από πού φυσάει. Να την προσέξει λίγο ο Δήμος. Από την πλευρά της προς τον Μέριχα, μέσα στην θάλασσα υπάρχουν πολλές νάυλον μεγάλες σακούλες στον βυθό. Ίσως από τα ιστιοπλοικά που αράζουν.
