Lakoudi beach

Lakoudi beach

Situated a kilometre south of Korfos beach and settlement on the island of Gavdos, lies the tranquil pebble beach of Lakoudi with its breathtaking seabed. The only way to reach this beach is either by foot from Korfos or by boat. The path to it is found by following the trail towards Tripiti beach and venturing through the dense pine forest. Along the way, you’ll find a small trail leading to Lakoudi beach, which runs beside a small stream at Limni.

Lakoudi is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and is well worth a visit. Its white pebbles give the sea water a vibrant azure and crystal clear appearance. The beach is home to some fascinating geological formations, including caves, sea fossils embedded in the rocks, and distinctively striped pebbles with incredible colours. Furthermore, after a swim at Lakoudi, you can visit the impressive sea caves of Plystres.
