Zaga beach in Koroni on Peloponnese |
 |
|
Zaga beach is by far the best beach in Koroni. There are two beaches
in Koroni itself, a pebble beach and a sandy beach, but none of them match
up to Zaga beach.

Almost everyone who stays in Koroni chooses to sunbathe and swim on the beach of Zaga. The beach lies about 1 kilometre from the waterfront in Koroni, slightly further if you walk via the Castle of Koroni.

It's a pretty cute name if you ask me, at least if it's written in Swedish: Sagastranden, which in English means Fairytale beach. The beach actually has two names, the first part is called Zaga and the second part further away is called Memi beach.

Zaga beach is 3 kilometres long, so if you feel like jogging
on the beach, you will be challenged. The beach consists of sand mixed
with small pebbles. Sun beds and umbrellas are available for rent. There
are also tamarisk trees that provide much-needed shade. The beach is
backed with tavernas, hotels and family pensions. Don't miss visiting
the magnificent castle. Firstly it is very interesting, secondly
it offers amazing views over Zaga beach, and over Koroni.

ACCOMMODATION AT ZAGA BEACHI've only stayed in Koroni, but next time I'm in the neighbourhood
I'll be staying by the beach. It's only a short walk to central Koroni,
and there are several tavernas by the beach, so you don't have to go
anywhere in the evening. Then I will stay at the Hotel Zaga Beach, which
is very popular, not least among Kalimera's
(the Swedish version of Kalispera) readers. Hotel Zaga Beach can be
seen in the picture below. Book other hotels at Zaga beach here »
