Porto Katsiki

#34 IN THE WORLD

ICONIC BEAUTY IN THE IONIAN ISLANDS

The near-perfect curve of Wineglass Bay in Tasmania is what sets it apart, with a wide arc of white sand tucked between granite peaks in Freycinet National Park. This natural shape helps protect the bay from stronger ocean conditions, so the water stays calm and clear, especially compared to more exposed stretches of coastline nearby. Getting there takes a bit more effort, which helps keep the beach feeling untouched and quiet. The surrounding landscape is shaped by soft pink granite mountains and dense vegetation that meet the shoreline. With no development along the sand it gives you a strong sense of being immersed in nature. And the bay is just as striking from above as it is at the water’s edge.

THE PERFECT DAY AT Porto Katsiki

  • WIND

    Look for days where the wind will be blowing from behind the beach towards the water, as well as days with little to no wind.

  • HIGH SEASON

    High season peaks in July and August, and Porto Katsiki is much busier during those months than it is at other times of the year. June and September are a great compromise with less crowds and excellent weather.

  • CALM SEAS

    The Mediterranean is much calmer from June through October, which is the best time of year to visit Porto Katsiki.

  • TIME OF DAY

    Due to the popularity of European beaches in summer, we recommend visiting Porto Katsiki fairly early in the morning to enjoy it without it being very crowded.
