Mavromouri Beach

Just a short distance south of Karoumes Beach, you’ll find the hidden gem of Mavromouri Beach. Little-known and not easily accessible, this secluded spot feels like a secret escape. You can reach it by boat, from Karoumes, or by taking a dip after trekking through the Hohlakion Gorge or following the E4 trail that winds through the area.

Pack all your essentials, as there are no amenities here—just white sands, clear waters, and fossils waiting to be discovered! Spread your towel on the soft sand and start your search for these ancient treasures. The waters are calm, as strong winds are rare, and the surrounding rocks provide welcome shade.
