What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Keramoti Beach is appreciated for its fine sand, clear waters, and free access, making it a convenient and pleasant spot. However, some visitors note inconsistent sand cleanliness and can be put off by loud, on-demand music at beach bars. The sunsets are a particular highlight, especially outside peak season.
"Free parking, free entry. You are asked to order drinks ať least for 6EUR. Music Is player on the beach. However it's on demand play So if there's hiphop enthusiast paying DJ, your beach day Is completely ruined like our was. When the paying customer left, the music turned a lot better. Beach sand is dirty. It's not the worst beach around Kavala nor the best. There are far better beaches with amenities and clean sand."

One of my favorite beaches."
