Karfas beach

Karfas lies 5 Km south of Chios Town. The sandy beach with the shallow waters and Karfas' proximity to the town of Chios make this one of the most sought tourist destination on Chios island.

Many hotels, rooms to let, restaurants, bar, car rentals, gift shops have spawn in the area of Karfas in the recent years in order to accommodate the needs of the ongoing visitors of Karfas. Still the area has not lost its village feeling and every year it gets more attention of native and turists alike.



Karfas beach is one of the few places a visitor can rent canoes, windsurfs, rides with waterskis and other popular water commercial water activities. The beach also has a volleyball court that anyone can enjoy for free.

If you plan on windsurfing, make sure your travel insurance covers these types of activities. Some travel insurance carriers may consider this an extreme sport, which requires special Adventure Travel insurance; otherwise you may not be reimbursed for any medical expenses if you are injured. Read your policy carefully to see what exactly you are insured for; when in doubt, consult with your travel insurance agent.
