About the place

Sand, pines and a quiet wetland.

Kalogria is a NATURA-protected coastal strip: nine kilometres of sand, twelve kilometres of umbrella-pine forest behind, and the Strofylia wetland — the largest single natural wetland on the western Peloponnese.

The northern half of the beach is the developed end (a small hotel, three beach bars, parking). The southern half has nothing on it but sand and pine. There are flamingos in the wetland from October through April, and in the summer the water is the cleanest on this coast.
