Latest reviews on Poros island's beaches

Vagionia bay
8 Zalyn Rivea

This charming beach is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. The water is pleasantly warm and the breeze is refreshingly cool. However, shaded areas are limited, so bringing an umbrella is advisable. Unfortunately, some litter can be found in the water and on the shore, but it doesn't detract too much from the overall experience.

Love Bay
10 Vince K.

This charming little beach is the perfect spot for anyone seeking a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The thick foliage surrounding the bay provides ample privacy, giving the beach its fitting name. It's a popular destination for couples and those who crave a serene environment. The water is a stunning shade of sea green, crystal clear and inviting. The sand is a mix of reddish-brown hues, yet still soft and sandy to the touch. The calm waters of the bay make it an ideal location for a romantic outing or a holiday escape. A narrow road encircles the bay, but traffic is minimal. And for added convenience, the bay offers shower and drinking facilities.

Beautiful beach..."

Askeli beach
8 Ethan Brooks

Visited the beach on a lovely May afternoon with the sun shining bright. The beach was not too crowded, perhaps due to the time of day, but it was a charming and scenic spot nonetheless. The sand was pristine enough to spread out a towel and the sea was crystal clear and refreshing. The only downside was the lack of amenities like bars and umbrellas, which is why I would give it a four-star rating.

Monastiri Beach
4 Sanderson Jensen

The beach was extremely crowded and lacked sufficient shade. Overall, it was a terrible experience. I had anticipated a peaceful beach, but it was nothing like that. I found myself seeking refuge in the shade, considering whether to hitchhike anywhere but there or wait for the boat to return me to town. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be during the off-season.
