Kerasia

At one end of the bay is a solitary taverna, set by the waters edge and by the small jetty where caiques bring temporary visitors for lunch or drinks. By evening the only boat left is the odd yacht spending the night at anchor and peace descends on Kerasia, a true ‘away-from-it-all’ retreat and a lovely place in which to enjoy the fresh fish and home-made food served in the taverna.

Kerasia Beach is a shingle beach, with board walks to make it easier to get from your sun bed to the taverna for drinks, ice creams etc. There are also sun umbrellas as well as sun beds to hire for a small daily charge and showers, toilets and changing areas available. Kerasia beach is child friendly, it is flat and the water is quite shallow for a little way out, and then deepens quickly so caution is always recommended. The beach shop sells anything from towels and sun creams, to swim wear and books!
