Hard to find words to express the natural beauty of the sand and water at Kata beach, such an array of changing colours. A very pleasant walk of about 1 hour 40 minutes if you are on holiday in Kefalos. There is a sign to the beach a little way past the 2nd church. The track to the beach goes past a goat farm but the free roaming goats move out of your way! The beach was deserted when i visited, just the way i like it. Take a bag with you so you can take some of the plastic rubbish away that has been washed up- straws, bottles, fishing net, a large assortment of beach shoes..and...you've guessed it...facemasks!!

The beach is a few kilometres along the coast from the Blue Lagoon resort, where we were staying, and well worth the walk from there. There’s a carpark above it, and it should be easy to reach by car. The sand is soft and the water translucent. Loungers and umbrellas are available for hire, but we didn’t bother. Further out into the water, there are flat rocks like those lining much of the coast in this area, but they aren’t a problem. This is a nudist beach. I’m not into nude sunbathing (too pale to tan!), but it’s the best way to swim.

The long and hard drive, is definitely worth the visit. Glorious beach, with many places to chill. There's a small beach bar, but make sure to supply what you need, before sundown. By far the best place in Kos.

A lovely small quiet beach with a great food van above it serving cold beers and lovely food. 8 Euros for 2 beds and a parasol. We went at the beginning of October and it was not busy (Also due to COVID etc) so I don't know if it would get busy at peak times. It's one of the nicest beaches on the island and well worth a visit.
