"This beach is really nice and has plenty of sun beds. It's quite long and there are a couple of restaurants/bars where you can grab a drink. It's also great for kids because the water is shallow for a good distance before it gets deeper. You can even find some water sports providers there if you're into that kind of thing. Overall, I definitely recommend this beach."

What to do in Glapsides beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?
If you like outdoor activities, the Glapsides beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!
Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Glapsides beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing.
