• Natural, untouched cove between Almyrida and Kalives.
• No shops, no sunbeds-just sea, pebbles, and peace.
• Only way to get here properly? With a rental car from AUTOWAY.

You won’t find signs pointing here.

Kera Beach sits between two busy villages, Almyrida and Kalives. BUT, barely anyone mentions it. No loud music. No cafés. Just a curving pebble beach where the locals swim before work or sit quietly in the evenings. It’s not on most tourists’ radar because there’s nothing commercial about it. That’s exactly the point.

It’s easiest to drive in. Always.

You’ll need a car. Walking from either village takes over 20 minutes in the sun. There are no buses. The road is paved but narrow, and you’ll miss the turnoff if you blink. Locals use scooters or small hatchbacks, which you can easily get with AUTOWAY. Parking’s informal-just find a shady spot under the olive trees above the beach.

Kera’s beach is wild-but safe.

No lifeguard, no rental chairs. The water here is shallow for the first 15–20 meters. Perfect for kids, older swimmers, or anyone needing calm. The seabed is rocky, so bring swim shoes. You’ll likely see fish even in knee-deep water. Sometimes a local fisherman anchors just offshore-he’s checking his nets, not giving tours.

Bring what you need. Then stay.

There’s a church on the east side, Agios Nikolaos, and behind it, a dirt track leads to an even quieter stretch. No tavernas nearby, so pack food and water. Mornings are cool and empty. Afternoons bring a few regulars, mostly from Kalives. By 7 PM, the light gets golden and the sea flattens like glass. That’s the time to swim.

Skip the crowds. Drive where it’s worth it.

If you want organized beaches, Almyrida is right there. But if you’ve got a car and want real quiet, Kera’s where you go. With a reliable vehicle from AUTOWAY, you can jump between both and decide for yourself.
