Mikros Mourtias Beach

Mikros Mourtias Beach sits on the Alonissos coast in Thessaly, Greece, and is reached by an existing coastal footpath with uneven ground near the shore. There is no gate indicated, but stay on the established path and respect adjacent land. Access is easier in morning to midday when light is stronger and the ground is dry. Wear sturdy footwear for pebbles and rocks, and expect careful footing at the water entry. There is no designated parking at the beach, so use informal areas nearby and continue on foot. No direct public transport serves the beach, and arrival generally requires walking or a private boat. The shore has pebbles with rocks, and the water entry is pebbly and rocky. The cove is relatively sheltered, but conditions change with wind and sea state, so enter slowly and swim within personal ability. There is no lifeguard service. The beach is generally quiet with few visitors at one time, though the small size limits privacy and footpath visibility remains. There are no sunbeds, toilets, showers, food service or drinking water. Bring water, food, sun protection, a shade cover and a bag for rubbish, and remove everything. Daylight use is normal, with no posted hours indicated. Most settled conditions run broadly June to September, with cooler and more unsettled weather outside summer. A stay of a few hours suits the lack of shade and facilities. Independent adults are best suited because of uneven access, lack of services and informal naturist use. Because shade is scarce and no drinking water is indicated, pacing the walk and the swim helps make the short stay more comfortable.
