Prasoudi Beach

A small, sheltered beach near Agios Mattheos and the Korission area, popular for a quieter swim away from the larger resort beaches.

Prasoudi Beach has a sand, pebble shoreline. Local road access from the Agios Mattheos area.

Food or drink is available at the beach or immediately nearby.

What to expect

The shoreline is predominantly a mixture of sand and pebble. Beach shoes can be useful, particularly when entering and leaving the water. The sandy sections are comfortable for anyone planning to spend several hours on the beach. It is a compact beach, which gives it an intimate feel but means space can become limited at the busiest times of day.

Swimming and sea conditions

The bay is relatively sheltered, which can help keep conditions more settled than on exposed stretches of coast. It is generally a family-friendly option, with normal supervision around the water.

Who this beach suits

This beach is particularly well suited to swimming, a quieter beach day and relaxed beach days. Its quieter character is part of the appeal, particularly if you want to get away from the island's busier resort beaches. If you can stay into the evening, it is also a good setting for watching the sunset.

Facilities

This is essentially an unorganised beach, so it suits visitors who are happy with a simpler, more natural setup. Do not rely on finding sunbed hire, so bringing your own towel, shade or beach umbrella can be worthwhile. A traditional taverna operates beside the beach. Facilities are limited, so do not assume that toilets, showers and changing facilities will be available.

Getting there and practical information

A small parking area is available for a limited number of vehicles. Local road access from the Agios Mattheos area.

Planning your visit

If you are visiting in July or August, arriving earlier in the day usually gives you more choice of space at a compact beach like this. Parking is generally easier before the main lunchtime rush. If sunset is one of the reasons you are visiting, plan to stay beyond the main beach-going hours rather than leaving in mid-afternoon.

Is it the right beach for you?

Choose it if peace, scenery and a more natural shoreline matter more to you than organised facilities.
