Kolymbithres Beach

A sequence of shallow sandy coves across Naoussa Bay, defined by rounded granite formations and easy access by road or seasonal boat.

Our take

Small coves among sculpted granite

Kolymbithres is not one broad beach but a chain of pockets held between weathered granite. That shape creates intimate swimming areas and a landscape unlike Paros’s longer south and east-coast beaches. The water is generally shallow near shore, while nearby tavernas make it possible to stay beyond a quick swim.

The same small scale that gives the beach its character also makes it feel full quickly. Come early, use the seasonal boat from Naoussa when convenient, and do not assume every rock shelf is public furniture. For more space, pair a short visit here with a longer afternoon elsewhere around Paros Park or the bay.

Go beyond Naousa’s harbour to follow marble, footpaths, working villages and a protected peninsula across one of the Cyclades’ most varied islands.
