Astrakeri beach guide
Astrakeri is a quiet beach on the north coast between Roda and Sidari, below the village of Karousades. The sand is coarse and brown with scattered pebbles, and the water is clear and shallow near the shore, though the seabed drops more steeply further out.
It's partly organised, with sunbeds and umbrellas for hire, and a couple of fish tavernas a minute from the sand. There's a large car park, and a small jetty is used by boats touring the north coast.
