Beach overall scores
Fanos beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Finikas 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 Koufonisia 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 Fanos 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 western side of the beach boasts an impressive array of sea life perfect for snorkeling. It's advisable to arrive early to secure a prime spot on the narrow beach. The sand is quite fine, but there are some rocks scattered about. It's best to steer clear of the bar closest to the beach."

"Nestled close to Ammos lies yet another breathtakingly beautiful beach that boasts of serene waters and a picturesque view of Keros Island. The convenience of a sea bus that docks at one end of the beach makes it an ideal spot for those seeking a hassle-free journey to the port. This is truly a dream destination that promises to leave you spellbound."
