How to get to The Beach of Charaka.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First, you start towards Sounio. As you approach the limits of Keratea, you reduce speed and look for the sign that says “Traditional settlement of Charaka” and somewhere there you stop. You’re getting ready for your first dives. Park on the dirt road where you will find it a few meters below, and choose the spot where you will spread your towel! You won’t have a hard time on this beach because is very large and has fine sand and clear waters! Are you thinking of a better combination? If you don’t want to carry your own equipment, you can choose a sun lounger from the ones the beach recently acquired in a small part of it.<\/p>\n
