One of the most breathtaking beaches in Pelion
Fakistra is a stunning and secluded beach on the eastern coast of Mount Pelion, just 5 km off the main road near Tsagarada. Its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise waters make it a must-visit destination.
The descent – part of the experience
To reach Fakistra, you’ll follow a steep path surrounded by lush greenery. The walk is short yet invigorating, with scenic stops along the way to admire the breathtaking views.
The “Secret School” and the natural cove
As you descend, you’ll spot a small chapel built into the rock – known locally as the “Secret School.” At the beach, a small natural cove awaits, offering shade, serenity, and a feeling of discovery.
A sensory escape
If the sea is a little wavy, the sound of the waves will create a soothing soundtrack. Just behind the beach, a small waterfall adds a refreshing touch and completes this enchanting setting.
Tips for your visit
Fakistra is a non-organized beach, so bring water and a few snacks. Respect the untouched beauty of the area – and it will reward you with a truly unforgettable experience.
