Kalogeros beach

Kalogeros beach

Kalogeros is a pristine beach adorned with deep blue waters and fine pebbles, situated 57km to the south of Chania city, 11km to the east of Sougia, and 1km to the west of Agia Roumeli. Its proximity to the western edge of Agia Roumeli is worth mentioning.

The beach is a haven of tranquility, making it a favorite spot for nudists due to its seclusion. It is surrounded by pine trees and features a small cave providing shade and a place to camp. However, there are no amenities nearby, and the only way to reach this place is either by boat or by swimming from Agia Roumeli, which takes around an hour.

The beach’s name, Kalogeros, is derived from the Greek term καλόγερος (transliterated as Kaloyeros), meaning monk. This name was inspired by a massive vertical rock in the sea that resembles a monk.

Kalogeros is an ideal choice for those seeking solitude, which is a common trait among all the surrounding beaches. Between Kalogeros and Agia Roumeli, the coastline is dotted with small beaches nestled among gigantic cliffs. These are known as Spilies to Marmaro, translating to “Caves in Marble.”
