Chalikiada beach, Pebbled beach near Limenaria village, Angistri, Greece.
Chalikiada is a pebbled beach in a secluded cove on Angistri island in the Saronic Gulf, surrounded by pine forests. The water is deep blue and clear, and the shoreline slopes gently into the sea.
Angistri island was settled in ancient times and lies in the Saronic Gulf, a key region of the ancient Greek world. The beach itself sits within this long-inhabited landscape that has served people for thousands of years.
The beach keeps its natural character without commercial development, drawing visitors who prefer simplicity and minimal infrastructure. People come here to escape crowds and experience the island in a quieter way.
The beach has no facilities or shops, so bring your own water, food, sunscreen, and anything you need for the day. It is best to arrive early and be prepared for a quiet visit without the services you might find at developed beaches.
At the end of the beach sits a natural rock pool that locals traditionally use as a cooler to keep drinks and food cold. This old practice shows how people once relied on the natural environment instead of modern refrigeration.
