Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bataria beach sandy or pebbly?

Bataria is a beautiful beach with smooth white pebbles. The pebbles are what make the water appear so turquoise and clear. Water shoes are recommended for maximum comfort.

Is Bataria beach good for children?

The water is very calm and clear, which is great for swimming. However, the seabed shelves quite quickly, so it gets deep faster than sandy beaches. It is better suited for confident swimmers and requires close supervision for young children.

How far is Bataria from Kassiopi harbour?

It is a very pleasant and easy walk of about 5-10 minutes from the main harbour in Kassiopi, following the path around the headland.
