Agios Georgios beach offers moist, spotless sand and cedars, for you and your loved one. It actually has various names: some call it Agios Georgios, after the little church you pass in the middle of nowhere as you travel along the dirt road. Others call it Agios Pavlos, after the church situated on the main Kattavia road, just before you turn off down the dirt track in search of the sea.

 

Whatever the name, this is a marvelous place for those with a jeep and an appetite for solitude with their partner. To find the dirt track that leads down to the beach, look out for the abandoned Italian monastery with the clock tower, on the road from Gennadi to Kattavia.

 

Just before you get to the monastery, turn left down the dirt track through the cypress trees, also planted by the Italians. After 7-8 kilometres you will find the church of Agios Georgios. If you prefer to swim at a little cove, turn right. If you are looking for a big, sandy beach, carry straight on.
