Beach overall scores
Marathias beach (Central Macedonia) is located outside the Porto Koufo settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"Really remote beach that is only accessible by driving a dust road for 3km. Only some local ppl populate the beach and ships from the sea. Its a really nice and quiet place for the ones.who despise the hotel beach bars that clutter the coast."
