Trapezaki > beaches

  

Trapezaki means small table in greek. In fact, this name is currently given to the part of the beach which is on the right side of the small fishing port.
Traditionnally, below the chapel of the Madonna and its pine trees, the inhabitants of the surrounding villages, Mousata, Poriarata and Afrato are been coming here to swim. On the other side, there are three very long beaches called Kaminia (do not confuse with the one having the same name in Ratzakli and famous for its turtles which come to lay in the sand), Kanali and Lithero. The beach joins another small fishing port, Lithero, and then the beach of Lourdas. Places with parasols and deck-chairs (daily rental) alternate with other places not at all crowded. You're sure to find a quiet corner, even in August.
Trapezaki is a really nice beach for kids, because there aren't any currents and its shallow bottom extends for several meters away from the coast. The beach is not equipped for watersports, except an old pedal-boat, but this is part of its familiar charm too. However the Municipality organizes sports matches among young people in the summer.
Finally there is a tavern and two refreshment stalls, the first one on Trapezaki itself and the other one on the beach of Kaminia.
