Kedrodasos Beach, Natural beach in Kissamos Municipality, Greece
The beach features white sand shores extending along the coastline, accompanied by scattered black rocks and clear waters reaching the Mediterranean Sea.
Cedar trees have defined this coastal area for centuries, leading to its name Kedrodasos, which combines the Greek words for cedar and forest.
Local residents maintain the natural state of this beach by limiting development and preserving its untouched landscape for future generations.
Visitors need to bring their own supplies as the beach lacks facilities, requiring a 10-minute walk from the parking area through uneven terrain.
The beach spans 27 acres of protected land, where juniper trees create natural shade spots along the white sand dunes.

Greece is home to many secluded beaches, away from main tourist routes and resorts. These lesser-known coastlines are found on the islands of Crete, Lefkada, Zakynthos, Cephalonia, Milos, and Karpathos. Some feature fine light-colored sand, others black volcanic pebbles from ancient eruptions, and all are surrounded by turquoise waters where the seabed is visible from the surface. Accessing these sites often requires extra effort: steep paths descending from cliffs, unpaved roads crossing Mediterranean scrub, or boat trips from coastal villages. Seitan Limania is nestled in a gorge with rocky walls over 100 meters high, while Egremni Beach is accessible after descending 350 carved steps in the cliffs. Mavra Volia is distinguished by its black lava stones, remnants of an eruption 2200 years ago, and Kedrodasos is home to centuries-old junipers casting shadows on the sand. These beaches generally have little or no tourist infrastructure. The lack of restaurants, parasol rentals, or paved parking preserves their natural state and limits the number of visitors, even during peak summer season. Some areas, such as Marathonisi Island, are partially protected to allow nesting of loggerhead turtles.
