The village boasts a 2.5 km immaculate sandy beach with crystal-clear waters, inviting visitors to unwind and savor the simplicity of Greek coastal life. Historically, Chorefto served as the seaport for the prosperous village of Zagora. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Zagorian ships set sail from Chorefto's port, trading local silk and woolen fabrics in the markets of Europe and the East.

Cafés and bars provide sunbeds and umbrellas, while other areas offer more privacy. The northern part of the beach features thin sand, while the southern part has pebbles. The sea is ideal for swimming on calm days, but caution is advised during windier periods due to strong currents. Beyond the beach, Chorefto offers opportunities for exploration and adventure. A green path leads to the secluded beaches of Parisena and Analipsi. The nearby village of Zagora, just 9 kilometers away, is worth a visit for its historic libraries, traditional mansions, and delicious local cuisine.
