The beach of Kolympithres in Paros is one of the most famous beaches of the island and is located in the huge bay of Naoussa, or Plastira Bay. This beach is particularly impressive because of the huge blocks of granite boarding it, sculpted by the sea and the wind over the centuries into curious forms. The beach of Kolympithres is composed of consecutive sandy coves allowing, sometimes visitors to have their own private tiny bay. Some of these coves are organized with sunbeds and offer water sports. A few beach bars and taverns can be found along the road leading to the beach. Kolympithres can be reached from the asphalted road or by small fishing boats leaving regularly from the port of Naoussa.
