The particular Kokkina Beach we find it in the southwest part of the Syros Island lessthan a kilometer from the Foinikas village.

A remote coast oncefrequented by naturists who unfortunately today have had to move toother shores as a parking lot has arisen close to the shore andconsequently nudism is prohibited. Perfect for those who lovetranquility and total relaxation and want to spend a day at the beachwithout noise or worries and only benefit from the warm sunrays.

The Kokkina Beach which inGreek means red, has a small coast of pebbles mixed with sand with areddish color like the rocks behind it, clean, crystalline and almostalways calm waters, a blue sea that is sometimes turquoise withemerald reflections from the seabed that descends slowly, ideal for families with children and for those who love to swim. Opposite theKokkina beach is the uninhabited islet of Psathonisi which thanks toits position shelters it from the winds which cyclically blow overthe Greek Islands. Be careful because there are many sea urchins soit would be better if you had rock shoes with you so as not to ruinyour holiday in Syros with a sting.

It is equipped with sunbedsand straw umbrellas while for those who prefer do-it-yourself it willbe possible to spread out your towel in the point that will inspireyou most and benefit from the precious tamarisk trees that frame thecoast during the hottest hours of the day . As for the restaurantinstead you will have to take care of it, there are no kiosks ortaverns on the beach so either you bring drinks and food with you oryou can go to the nearby and picturesque Finikas village where youwill only find that you are spoiled for choice between bars for quicksnacks and light or a classic tavern where you can savor the delightsof classic Greek and territorial cuisine. The village of Fonikas andits surroundings can also be a moment to break up the day on thebeach with a nice exploratory walk through its narrow streets and theterritory.

If you are independent andhave a car or scooter, head south on the west coast. Keeping thevillage of Foinikas as a reference point, reachable from wherever youhave decided to stay during your holiday in Greece in Syros byfollowing the comfortable main road and road signs. Once you arrivein Foinaks follow the signs to Kokkina.

For those who are notindependent, they can opt for a public bus from Ermoupolis toFoinikas and there continue on foot to Kokkina arriving near a sheeppen, from there go down the hill through a cornfield to a fence witha door, pass it and follow north.

One of the most peaceful andpanoramic beaches on the island, perhaps a little challenging toreach but worthy of being included among the things to see in Syrosto stay in close contact with nature and experience a wonderful dayat the beach.
