Zacharo beach

Zacharo Beach is a sandy shore stretching for several kilometers along the Ionian coastline in the Gulf of Kyparissia. The water remains shallow in many areas, making it accessible for swimmers of all levels.

The region held importance in ancient times as part of classical Greece, with archaeological remains scattered nearby. The nearby site of Ancient Olympia demonstrates the historical significance this coastal area once held.

Local fishermen are a regular sight along the shore, using methods passed down through generations. The beach community gathers for summer celebrations that feature traditional music and dancing.

The beach has sunbeds and umbrellas available in designated areas, along with clean facilities spread across the shore. Several tavernas operate throughout the day, serving fresh seafood and local dishes.

During spring months, sea turtles come ashore to nest in certain sections of this beach. These areas are protected to allow the animals to reproduce undisturbed.
