Beach overall scores
Glyfa beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Kampos 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 coast of the Antiparos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Glyfa beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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.
User reviews
"The beach is absolutely fantastic and easily our top pick in Antiparos. The sand is pristine and the water crystal clear, making it the perfect spot for a refreshing swim. As expected, the beach can get quite windy, but this is par for the course on Antiparos' beaches. Overall, we highly recommend this beach for anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing day by the sea."
Dulas Wojtek
"I absolutely adore this serene beach with its crystal-clear waters and ample shade provided by the almyrikia trees. The lack of crowds is a definite plus, but the downside is its accessibility - being located on the main road makes it easily reachable for everyone."
