Paralia Koundouros — Attraction in Kea Municipality

Organization: The beach is organized (it has a resturaunt/cafe), and it doesn’t take up the whole beach, umbrellas are a bit expensive though at €50/each. If you sit down at a table, you don’t have to pay the umbrella fee, but you have to order something. There is also a spot without umbrellas so you don’t have to pay.

Water: The Fine sand is suspended in the water, which makes it appear dirty. It is still clear, but suspended sand, seaweed, etc. slight brown color. The boats are a bit close to shore, so you can smell fumes if you go near them.

Sand: Fine sand, which is comfortable but gets very hot. It is not very clean - there many sticks and other natural things in the sand. It does hurt to walk, and if you’re not careful you might get splinters.

Overall: Decent beach. Water is ok, sand is ok, organization is great...

40 euros front row then 20 for back for 2 sunbeds and umbrella and two bottles of water. Freddo espresso the most expensive beach version sofar at 5 euro.

Yes place is expensive but the best beach for little kids as shallow sloping seabed. Nice sand. Shower and bathrooms and a good covered chilled out restaurant area.

Also great place when the island has a strong northern wind as you are not really affected by it here. Remember to take the tarmaced road from corissa up through kea, as sometimes the GPS takes you off road.. which is a fun adventure if you have a small 4x4, but usual small rental car...

While it’s nice to have beach loungers, they are absolutely overpriced at 40 euros per set, the umbrellas are not all high quality meaning there are pieces missing and therefore not providing full sun coverage but the water is the biggest reason for why you shouldn’t come to this beach….the amount of trash in the water was shocking, pieces of plastic, paper, etc. it was the least clear I’ve seen of any ocean water in Greece. The restaurant attached is fine for a meal but I wouldn’t bother...
