Tsapi Beach of Chrysokellaria, Sandy beach in Municipality of Pylos-Nestor, Greece.
Tsapi Beach of Chrysokellaria is a sandy shoreline in southeastern Greece with fine sand and deep water that stretches within a sheltered cove. The coastline is framed by steep hillsides and two small restaurants sit directly on the shore.
The beach has been a gathering place for local fishermen from the Messinia region for many decades and has kept its natural character. Human activity remained modest over time and the shore was never developed for major projects.
The place is shaped by fishermen and farmers who practice their traditional crafts and maintain a way of life tied to the sea. These everyday activities continue to define the character of the bay.
The water is usually calm and easy to access, making it suitable for swimmers of different experience levels. Visitors should bring beach equipment and prepare for limited facilities, as only two restaurants operate on site.
The small island of Schiza lies just offshore and is visible from nearly every point on the beach. There is no mobile phone signal throughout the area, which many visitors welcome as a break from digital routines.
