Chiliadou beach, located on the Greek island of Evia, was recently awarded the Best European Filming Location of 2023 by the European Film Commissions Network (EUFCN).
According to EUFCN, Chiliadou beach was chosen as it strayed away from the “usual and more touristic Greece.”
“The vegetation, the high mountains, the sea and the stony beaches, give the island a feel of an ‘unknown and secret place’… The support and hospitality from the local community was also a very big factor,” the EUFCN said in a statement.
The beach is northerly oriented and the natural landscape of huge rocks and forest meets the shore washed by the Aegean sea. It holds deep crystal-clear blue waters and there are many secret sea caves.
Last year, Chiliadou beach was featured in an award winning film, Triangle of Sadness, where the film highlighted the natural landscape.
