Kiato Beach

Kiato has a seafront with a beach on the Gulf of Corinth.

Kiato is the main town of Sikyona and has a long seafront on the Gulf of Corinth with a mixed pebble and sand beach, a small harbour and cafés. It is a practical swim stop on the road between Athens and the Peloponnese, and a relaxed place to spend an afternoon. The beach is easy to reach, and the water is usually calm. Several cafés and tavernas line the waterfront, and the promenade is pleasant for an evening stroll. Kiato is less crowded than the better-known resorts, so it is attractive for those who like a local atmosphere. It is close to Ancient Sikyon and the museum, so you can combine culture and a swim in the same outing. Facilities include parking, cafés and showers in some places. Sun beds and umbrellas are available in summer. Check the wind forecast, since the gulf can become rough in strong winds.
