As you lounge on the bright white sand of Tsambika Beach, you'll be enchanted by the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you. The 240m high rock, on which a white chapel is enthroned, rises above the beach, offering a sense of awe-inspiring beauty. To reach the chapel, you'll need to traverse a steep road and then an equally steep stairway, but the view from the top is well worth the effort.

The chapel, known as "Kyra Panagia Tsambika," has long been a pilgrimage destination for women experiencing difficulties conceiving. This adds an almost mystical element to the already enchanting atmosphere of the beach.

Tsambika Beach offers dozens of colorful beach facilities and a range of water sports for the more daring visitors. But, if you're after a more laid-back experience, you'll appreciate the friendly vibe and ample amenities offered in the wider region.

We have just come back, The beach was lovely very hot and the water was lovely and clear. One issue which may of offended beach lovers, was a man walking around taking pictures discretely of couples. but did not bother us. Clearly not a naturist.

Once, there was a nudist beach down there, it was so beautiful... Does any of you know if it still exists? I wanna visit that place again, but don't believe I'll have the chance to make it...

Tsambika beach is stunning - its well worth getting there early morning and walking upto the monastery (it can get very hot) and looking at the views down to the beach. The beach itself is lovely - suitable for small children as it has very shallow waters.
