Beach overall scores
Platis Gialos (South Aegean) is located outside the Platy Gialos 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 Serifos island, 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
"A charming and picturesque beach awaits you with convenient car access. Although the path leading to it is predominantly paved, a few minor gravel sections may be encountered, and the incline is slightly steep. Despite its location on Serifos' northern side, the beach is remarkably protected from the blustery northerly winds. A delightful tavern is located in close proximity..."
