Paranga beach. A smaller beach of distinct character, Paranga is only 4.5 km from Chora,
easily accessible by car, bus service from Chora or regular boat services from Platys
Gialos. It is also an easy 15 minute walk from Platy
Gialo or 10 minute walk from Paradise beach. What makes Paranga distinct is the fact that
it actually is made up of two beaches separated by a headland juxtaposed by the blue water,
with plenty of aged tamarisk trees providing natural shade from the summer sun. Although
organised, the beach maintains a laidback atmosphere and has expanded the last years
with substantial tavernas and beach bars with palm umbrellas and sun beds.
The beach is very popular with nudists and the like, sunbathing to the far right of the
area. After 5:00 in the afternoon, the beach bar goes into party mode, with mainstream
dance music to sip your drink too, getting crowded as the late sunset comes in.
There is also a quaint camping site to camp and an enchanting little cove nearby Paranga
known as Agia Anna beach for those visitors seeking quiet and relaxation.
