Krygia Vlychada beach
(2 votes)

The beach Krygia Vlychada is located to the east of the village Tris Ekklisies in the Asterousia Mountains. The name means "cold water spring," it is taken after the spring with sweet water that exists where the road ends. Today, it gives life to dozens of oleanders. There used to be a small pond at the site, but it was destroyed when the road was being constructed.

The spot is reached by a dirt road that starts from Tris Ekklisies and passes over the beach of Kolovrechtis. One can also walk from the Tris Ekklisies main beach after passing the characteristic split rock called Mavros Volakas.

The beach has characteristic dark-colored rocks and fine dark pebbles. In the middle of it there is a small cave, which can hold a few people. In general, there are no trees and rocks that provide shade throughout the day.

On the rocks located at the eastern end of the beach, called Tragopiastis, and below the unique house that is created is a series of sea caves with colorful rocks.
