Kalogria beach

Kalogria beach (Greek: Παραλία Καλόγριας)[1] is the name of a sandy and award-winning with Blue Flag beach[2] that is located in the vicinity of the village Araxos, in Northwestern Peloponnese, Greece.

The area close to the beach has many sand dunes that are formed by sea sand that moves with the aid of the westerly winds and the Ionian Sea waves.

The last 10 years there have been many attempts from arsonists to burn the Strofylia forest beside the beach of Kalogria.

[6] On 17 October 2017 there has been another major incident of forest fire in the protected area and beside Kalogria beach.

[7] The results of the wild fires are not easily observable when someone visits the beach from the north (except an area beside the large dune).
