User reviews
"The beach is quite lengthy and features soft, light-colored sand. One of the advantages of this beach is its natural appearance, enhanced by the presence of trees and plants in the background. Additionally, the water boasts a stunning pure blue color. However, a downside of Skala Fourkas beach is the unreliable lifeguard who often neglects the safety of the beachgoers."
Lila Andersson
"The beach is quite spacious with a large expanse of sand, and it offers a couple of beach bars where you can find sunbeds. Additionally, there is plenty of room to set up your umbrella. However, the day we visited was a bit windy, so it wasn't very peaceful. The beach is easily accessible by car."
