Gerakas Beach

Breath-taking, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping beach. A sensational sight when you reach by boat. Enjoy the pristine waters and sand.

#2

Sikia (Cave) Beach

Essentially, a collapsed cenote with a beach. Simply spectacular. It's accessible only by sea, so it'd better be on your boat tour's itinerary.

Fyriplaka Beach

A beach with a cliff and huge boulder in the sea. Idyllic and suitable for kids, as the waters are relatively shallow. However, it gets crowded.

#9

Plathiena Beach

A comparatively peaceful beach for chilling all day enjoying good food and a beautiful view. Top spot for colorful sunsets.

#10

Firopotamos Beach

What a place! With terraces touching the waves, it's like a pirate cove that developed into a tiny touristic resort with the passing of time.

The Horse Ranch beach has a rocky spot with natural shade but you need to get there early. It's not too pleasant when it gets overcrowded.

Tsigrado Beach

Tiny beach between steep cliffs accessible through a steep narrow passage that ends to a wooden ladder. An adventure worth only if the beach is not packed.

#13

Paleochori Beach

Old Village or Paleochori beach has nice sand and clean waters. You may enjoy watching the cliffs while swimming. Mesmerizing and meditational.

#14
