Kakovatos Beach
Kakovatos Beach is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches in the prefecture of Ilia (Elis), in Western Peloponnese, Greece. Nestled near the town of Zacharo, this long stretch of golden sand draws thousands of visitors every summer with its crystal-clear Ionian Sea waters, soft sandy seabed, and breathtaking sunsets.
The beach’s gentle slope into the sea makes it especially safe for children, making it an ideal choice for families. Its wide, open shoreline is perfect for beach games, beach soccer, long seaside walks, beach volleyball, or simply relaxing under the sun.
Fronting the charming coastal village of Kakovatos—a laid-back summer resort—the beach forms part of the broader Zacharo coastline, which stretches from the Kaiafas lagoon all the way to the mouth of the Neda River. Some areas of Kakovatos Beach are fully organized, offering beach bars, umbrellas, sun loungers, showers, and changing cabins. For those seeking peace and quiet, there are also large unspoiled sections where you can set up your own umbrella and enjoy the tranquillity of nature.
Just a short walk or drive away, you’ll find traditional tavernas, local restaurants, and a range of accommodations—making it easy to turn a beach day into a relaxing multi-day getaway.
