Kolimbithra

Kolimbithra is a beach located on the island of Mykonos, Greece. It is situated on the northern coast of the island, near the village of Fransis. The beach is known for its natural beauty, characterized by its clear turquoise waters and fine, golden sand.

Kolimbithra is divided into two main sections: a smaller, more secluded cove and a larger, more open stretch of sand. The smaller cove is often preferred by those seeking tranquility, while the larger beach can accommodate more visitors and offers more space for activities. The surrounding landscape is rugged and unspoiled, with rocky outcrops and sparse vegetation contributing to its wild charm.

The beach is not developed with many tourist facilities, which contributes to its natural and serene atmosphere. Visitors can typically find a taverna or two offering refreshments and local cuisine, particularly during the peak summer months. Due to its northern exposure, Kolimbithra can be exposed to winds, especially the Meltemi winds that are common in the Aegean Sea during summer. This can make it a popular spot for windsurfers and kitesurfers.

Access to Kolimbithra is usually by car or motorbike, with a dirt road leading to the beach. Parking is available nearby. The journey to Kolimbithra offers scenic views of the Mykonian countryside. The beach's relative remoteness and natural setting make it an appealing destination for travelers looking to escape the more crowded areas of Mykonos.
