Marikes Beach
10 Kasimir Järvinen

This hidden gem of a beach has a lush canopy of trees providing ample shade, towering sand dunes, and a beach bar serving up refreshing drinks. The crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkeling and offer a glimpse into the fascinating world below the surface. Additionally, the beach is home to numerous archaeological sites, adding a unique and historical element to your visit. Keep this slice of paradise a secret and savor the tranquil beauty it offers.

Santa Cruz Schinias

The beach itself wasn't anything remarkable and unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. My experience was quite disappointing and I wouldn't recommend it. Additionally, the prices were quite high and the staff were not very friendly. I apologize, but I cannot recommend this beach.

The best!

Ramnous beach

Stunning vistas and delicious Souvlaki! The proprietors are extremely attentive and accommodating. We dined at this establishment a few days ago and returned with additional family members today, where we were treated with great kindness. The chicken and pork Souvlaki are both excellent, as is the tsatsiki and the salad (made with traditional ingredients and capers). They also offer fantastic espresso and a wide variety of other beverages (beer, wine, soda, iced tea, hot tea). If you happen to visit in mid-July, the owner even serves his own homegrown figs! I highly recommend visiting this establishment for lunch or dinner and taking in the serene beach in between. Sesi beach is stunning, with vibrant rocks, comfortable benches, and a picturesque view of Evia.

Paralia Kokkino Limanaki

This place is absolutely amazing! It's located about an hour away from Athens, but it's definitely worth the trip. Unfortunately, there were some fires that ravaged the area last year, resulting in the destruction of many homes and trees, as well as the grass. However, the beach itself is still beautiful, and the sea is simply stunning. Additionally, there aren't too many people around, so if you're looking for a more secluded and wild beach experience without any cafes or city distractions, this is definitely a great option.
