Latest reviews on Ioannina's beaches

Ksamil Beach
4 Sivar Tejba

The beauty of the natural surroundings and the stunning beaches are undeniable. However, the locals who own the beaches and restaurants seem unaccustomed to dealing with tourists, resulting in subpar service and inflated prices. Shockingly, we received three different quotes for the same umbrellas and sunbeds from three different individuals at the same beach. We ended up paying an exorbitant price of 2000 lek for one umbrella and two sunbeds, which would have been acceptable if the services were up to par. Unfortunately, the beach was extremely crowded, and the beds were uncomfortably close to each other. Ksamil is a place where you pay top dollar for substandard services. Either the quality of service must improve, or the prices must come down.

Many of the restaurants in the vicinity serve delicious food. Additionally, there is a quaint village within walking distance that includes a few shops.

Arilla beach
10 Sotiris Papadopoulos

This sandy beach boasts crystal clear, shallow waters that are perfect for a relaxing dip. The service is exceptional, and the restaurant on site truly captures the essence of Greece. As an avid diver myself, I highly recommend this beach for its unique underwater scenery.

Skaloma beach II
10 Elena

This beach is absolutely stunning! The sand is fine, and it's usually not crowded, allowing for a peaceful and relaxing experience under the sun. The scenery is beautiful, making it the perfect spot to unwind and do nothing. Just keep in mind that there are no bars or amenities, so it's best to bring your own supplies. Despite being located near the ferry port, the occasional ferry every couple of hours might be a minor inconvenience for some, but overall, it's definitely worth a visit.

Megali Ammos beach
8 Sarai Katsarova

To begin with, the coastline is comprised of tiny pebbles and the sea has small rocks and pebbles. The sandy part of the beach lies towards the back. It is a well-ordered beach that caters to the needs of those with special requirements and has a vigilant lifeguard on duty. The swimming area is off-limits to boats and is cordoned off for safety. Kayak boats are available for rent, but jet skis are not allowed. The three primary restaurants offer drinks and snacks for beach-goers. Parking is a challenge after 10:30, but we were fortunate to have arranged for a hotel van. The Ionion restaurant's food was delectable, and the beach service was prompt and courteous. The beach is ideal for families and children, and the rocky areas on the far side are perfect for Instagram enthusiasts. I had a fantastic time and will undoubtedly return.
