Alaties Beach
|
|
|
About 20
minutes by car from Fiscardo. Drive to Manganos and turn
right at the crossroads. Follow the sign for Chalikeri.
This tiny but interesting beach is worth a visit. There
is room for only a few people on the beach but plenty of
nice rocks can be found to bask on all around. A good
time to go is late afternoon or early evening as the
sunset is very beautiful from this location. There is a
small restaurant just above the beach where you can
enjoy a drink and watch the sun go down after your swim. |

If you
explore the peninsula to the right of the beach you will
find several shallow rock pools. In years gone by, salt
was collected from these pools after the seawater had
evaporated. This explains the name of the beach. In
Greek, salt is "Alati". |
|
|
There are
some very rudimentary changing rooms to the left of the
steps as you leave the beach. |
 |
|
In very
windy weather it is unwise to explore the rock pools.
The waves can be very powerful and people have been
swept off the rocks! |
