Beach overall scores
Skalakia beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Mediterra 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 Paros 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 Skalakia 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
"Ysterni boasts one of Paros's hidden gems - a stunning beach that is often overlooked. The water is consistently crystal clear and the area is typically quiet. However, there are some stairs to navigate, making it unsuitable for those who struggle with stairs. This beach is small and natural, with rocks and pebbles instead of sand."
Rafael Mendoza.
"That place is perfect for swimming in the morning, but as the day progresses, it becomes shaded. Additionally, the environment is secluded, making it a peaceful spot to relax."
