The specific island of Attica is located just 40 minutes from the centre of the Greek capital and 100 meters from the coast on the beach Kakia Thalassa, in Keratea, a town in East Attica. The bottom of this natural pool contains sand and a small opening allows water to be recycled.

The “Evil Sea” beach derives its name from Greek mythology and is said to have been provided by the god Zeus himself to help the Greeks in the war against the barbaric invaders. Thus, Sea god Poseidon intervened by causing huge waves that literally engulfed the enemy fleet.

In fact, the beach of Kakia Thalassa, where the enchanting islet is located, is one of the most beautiful in Attica. The beach is also ideal for those who love climbing, as the coast is surrounded by many steep slopes waiting to be conquered. It is one the best climbing locations one can find so close to Athens!
