After about 6 miles from Argostoli, the road forks left for Lixouri and right for Myrtos; follow the right fork and then turn left, following the sign for Aghia Kiriaki beach. The beach is a long strip of sand and shingle, divided into small and large coves, with a dirt track running its length. The road is paved to where it joins the seafront track which is in reasonable condition and passable by car. Follow the road for about 1.5 miles down to the sea, then turn right onto the beach road.

Follow until about 400 yards from the end, where there is a snack bar and a number of people. Here the beach was deserted, and there was plenty of room to park the car beside the track. The narrow ¾ mile (1.2km) long beach runs eastwards from the harbour at Zola widening towards the right hand (eastern) end. The beach appeared to be used mainly by the locals, but my contributors felt comfortable, although they were the only naturists. Pretty setting, but not a marvellous beach.

2017 September: We found the right hand end of the beach surprisingly busy for mid-September. Perhaps this was due to the snack bar and umbrellas at that end of the beach or maybe as it was a Sunday the locals go there en masse for a day out. Although there was plenty of space it most definitely was 100% textile and we didn't feel comfortable to strip off there. We headed back westwards where there were fewer people and so no problem being naked. At first we were the only naturists but the m/f couple next to us stripped off soon after we did.

The beach is mostly gritty sand which slopes gently into the sea so entering the water is easy. There was some seaweed on the beach though that may vary with seasonal weather conditions. The dirt track is busy and not screened from the beach which perhaps detracts from the beach's suitability for naturism. With more people arriving later in the afternoon via the dirt track we decided to move on to neighbouring Vouti Beach.
