Latest reviews on Agios Athanasios's beaches

Phoenix beach
10 Marko Petrovic

This place is pretty cool, located at the far end of Amolofi beach. It's clean and offers plenty of space, with always enough sunbeds available. There are a few stones at the entrance, but after a short distance, the water becomes shallow and perfect for children. The service is good, although the prices for drinks and food are a bit on the expensive side (5.5 euros for coffee and water, 5 euros for ice cream, and 15 euros for pizza). The only downside is that there are no tables to eat at, only under the sunbeds, which isn't ideal. However, there's a cool tavern just behind the parking area. Additionally, there is plenty of free parking available.

Ammolofoi beach
10 Aria Kaela

This beach is truly exceptional! It is thoughtfully divided into zones, each with its own bar, parking area, and complimentary umbrellas and sunbeds. The best part? All of these amenities are free with a small order from the bar or restaurant, making it incredibly convenient and satisfying. At the entrance to the beach, you'll find spacious and clean changing rooms, toilets, and showers. Once you step onto the fine sandy beach and take a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea, you'll be in pure bliss. The warm and salty water is a true delight to swim in, and the natural beauty of the surroundings only adds to the experience.

Sandhill beach II
10 NEXUS VISTA (LUMEN-GLIMMER-CREST)

This stretch of shoreline is a refreshing escape from the commercialization that plagues the neighboring Ammolofoi Beach. It's the perfect spot for hosting unforgettable summer soirées with your closest companions, long after the sun has set.

Vrasidas beach
10 Jayce

This location boasts crystal clear and tranquil azure waters, with a gently sloping fine sand beach that is perfect for families with children. Although there is only one rustic shack providing services, this actually adds to the charm of the beach and prevents it from being overrun by noisy tourists. The only downside is that the dirt road leading to the beach may prove challenging for low-riding vehicles, but SUVs should have no trouble accessing this hidden gem.

Psatha beach
4 Natalya Petrova

The shoreline is petite yet serene, offering a picturesque view that is truly breathtaking. Regrettably, there are no restrooms in the vicinity, which is a significant drawback. The beach is not particularly well-maintained and the absence of a lavatory exacerbates the odorous atmosphere.

Sarakina beach
10 Lena Petrova

The beach's water is absolutely exceptional! Initially, I wasn't anticipating much, but as soon as I arrived, I was struck by the pristine quality of the water. The rocks surrounding the beach add to its natural beauty, and the small waves give it a wild and untamed feel. The water itself is refreshing, warm, and delightful to swim in. Although the nearby high-end beach bars may have better sand, the water here is simply unbeatable. Additionally, there is a convenient bar offering drinks and food, as well as complimentary umbrellas and sun beds. Everything you need for a fantastic and relaxing day is right here!
