Latest reviews on Elia's beaches

Marmaras beach
6 Lara M23

The sanitary facilities are in need of upgrading as they appear to be deteriorating. The mini market at the camp has seen better days, but the lady who works there is friendly. It would be great if there was a beach bar, although it seemed closed in August. The small beach within the camp is quite crowded with beach chairs stacked on top of each other, making it difficult to find a spot for your towel. There is a larger public beach available, but it requires a key for access. Overall, this camp was not what we were looking for. On a positive note, the town is conveniently located nearby and offers a beautiful view of the sunset.

Kohi beach

While dining at the restaurant, we had the delightful opportunity to encounter Panos, who made us feel right at home and consistently looked after us. He provided us with all the necessary information and recommendations for our vacation on the island. If you have a fondness for sunsets, the beach offers the most breathtaking ones. The food is delicious, and throughout the day, the DJ plays incredible music. We wish we could extend our stay there even longer ♥️.

Paralia Paradisos

This location is not recommended. It may be best to avoid it.

Tripotamos beach
8 Jax Wren

This tranquil beach is a true sanctuary, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It feels almost exclusive, with few visitors around to disturb the peace. It's worth bringing your own supplies, as there are no shops or beach bars to be found. But the lack of amenities only adds to the beach's serene ambiance.

Bara beach
10 Jasper Juvarez

This hidden beach treasure provides a one-of-a-kind experience that may not be suitable for everyone. Nudity is common here, and the water is filled with pebbles and smooth rocks, so wearing aqua shoes is necessary. With a small number of visitors, you can have the crystal-clear waters all to yourself, surrounded by the smooth stones that line the shore. This public beach has a wild and liberated atmosphere, but it's important to note that it's a nudist beach, making it inappropriate for children. Although reaching the beach by car may be challenging, leaving your vehicle and taking a short walk down is a small price to pay for the peaceful seclusion it offers. Despite the rocky seabed, it could be a diver's paradise. The overall cleanliness only adds to its appeal, but keep in mind that it's intended for adults.

Karagatsi beach

We found ourselves off the beaten path, with no clear indication of where to find the public beach. Despite wandering through a residential area, we were unable to locate the entrance. Ultimately, we had to abandon our search and explore other nearby destinations. This experience proved to be a frustrating and fruitless endeavor.
