Blue sea and blue sky - it's a wonderful sandy beach where you want to spent hours and return too.
Showers and changing rooms on the beach near the cafe.
To get here it's about 1 mile from the mainroad down very tiny roads with olive trees.
In the nearby cafe they can serve you a cold greek Fix or Mythos beer, ice cold frappe coffee or ice cream for the kids.
If you get hungry they serve food the whole day too.
Free parking, but there's not a lot.
We met a lady in a wheelchair, but you cannot manage it by yourself, but it's possible.

Was very glad when this shop opened a few years ago. My wife and I visit Koroni every year and always buy from Kiari: in fact it is one of he first places we go to. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, speaks excellent English and is eager to share new products. He has a growing excellent range of Greek wines all at reasonable prices and the olive oil is a delight: we brought 12 litres home with us this year. Greece has some lovely wines to offer and Kiari is the place to find them.

Surf and Bike Hire koroni are a bunch of laid back back friendly guys who will go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience when hiring with them.
We only hired bikes, but they were able to help with punctures and offer tips on places to visit.
The prices were great and offered discounts for longer hire periods.
Totally recommend them and I'm sure the wind Surfing is just as good. Especially on the beautiful Zaga beach
