User reviews
"I live on Spetses and I absolutely love Garifalo beach. I enjoy taking walks there with my dog, and when my daughter and my grandchildren come to visit around Easter, we spend a lot of time there. The children love swimming in their wet suits, and we always make sure to bring a picnic with us."
Riley Mitchell
"This beach is absolutely fantastic, nestled in a peaceful cove and conveniently accessible from the town. It's a pure haven of untouched nature, without any umbrellas or loungers."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Paralia Garifalos (Spetses) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Paralia Garifalos (Spetses) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Paralia Garifalos for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
