Kipos Beach

Beach Eastern tip of the island

  • Kipos Beach

A remote pebble beach on the quiet eastern tip of the island, with genuinely dark night skies and no facilities at all.

Full description

Kipos sits on Samothraki's eastern tip — about 17km from Kamariotissa and 7km from Therma — and stays quieter than the more central beaches simply because of the drive to get there.

It's a pebble shoreline with clear water and dramatic cliffs, with essentially zero commercial development: no tavernas, no sunbed rental, no shop. Bring everything you need for the day. The upside of that isolation is genuinely dark skies, making it one of the better stargazing spots on the island after dark.

Reachable by a paved road with parking right by the shore, or on foot from Therma if you want to make a longer day of it.
