Paralia Chiliadou, Beach and settlement in Dirfys-Messapia Municipality, Greece.

Paralia Chiliadou is a coastal settlement on the eastern side of Euboea with a beach made of sandy and pebbly sections. The bay is surrounded by forested mountains and has several small tavernas for visitors.

Chiliadou served as a pirate stronghold in earlier times, and many residents of the surrounding area say their ancestors were pirates. It was first recorded as a separate settlement in 1981, when it was counted in the then community of Stropones. Under the Kallikratis plan it became part of the local community of Stropones in the Dirfys-Messapia municipality, with 63 inhabitants at the 2011 census.

The name comes from the Panagia Chiliadou chapel near the beach, a Byzantine cross-in-square church. One account holds that it was the thousandth church built by the Empress Theodora. Some residents of the surrounding area say their ancestors were pirates, who once used Chiliadou as a base.

The area is easy to walk around and has flat access to the water at several points. Keep in mind that the location is quite remote, so it is a good idea to bring water and food with you before you go.

The northern beach section is designated for clothing-optional swimming and draws visitors from around the world. This feature makes the place an open and cosmopolitan destination along the coast.
