Klima bay

Klima Bay can be reached via the beautiful wooded mountain road that runs from Paleokastro to Posedonio. This road grants you regular fantastic views over the Aegean Sea towards Turkey.

After you take the exit to Klima Bay, you slowly but surely descend along a good road downwards.

This used to be a path for donkey transport only. The road ends at the sea where you will then immediately experience breathtaking views.

The residents of the bay are all Greek families who return to their summer homes in Klima around April/May.

Only to leave again in September/October towards their homes on the island or back to the mainland. Klima bay has a ‘fine’ pebble beach which slopes very slowly into the sea. There are also two traditional Greek taverns where you can have a good time.

In the evenings and at weekends, Greeks from the area flock there for drinks and snacks. This bay also has its own picturesque Greek Orthodox church built against the mountainside and is well worth a visit.
