Latest reviews on Charakas's beaches

Mavro Lithari mini II
10 Anders Benjamin Isaac

There's a fantastic small pebble beach located an hour south of Athens. It's best to take the old road instead of the highway. The beach offers a great tavern and stunningly clear blue deep sea.

Paralia Saronida II
6 Zorana Janković.

This lovely beach is a perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. It offers a serene atmosphere with no distractions such as bars or cantinas. However, this means that you will need to bring your own refreshments and snacks. But don't let that deter you from enjoying the stunning views and the soothing sound of the waves. This beach is a great place to relax and unwind without any interruptions.

The beach offers crystal clear waters that are perfect for swimming. There are plenty of activities available to keep you entertained.

Thymariou beach
8 Nicoletta Santoro

This tiny, hidden beach might seem like a peaceful escape, but don't be fooled by its shallow waters. The amount of plastic and garbage strewn about is enough to make you question if you're actually at the dump. We had to take matters into our own hands and pick up the trash ourselves. Despite the initial disappointment, we were able to snorkel and catch a glimpse of some vibrant fish. But let's be real, the ocean creatures are probably just as disgusted by the litter as we are.

Palea Fokea I
10 Aris Kallias

The beach offers breathtaking views of the picturesque scenery, including a charming little church, a quaint settlement, small beaches along the coastline, and the deep blue waters of the sea. The area around the church provides plenty of lovely photo opportunities, as does the road overlooking the settlement, which boasts a panoramic view of the entire area.
