Perigiali Beach
3 GABRIELE RINALDI

Pleasant bay and beach full of families with children screaming at the top of their lungs. The water is affected by the many moored boats.

Too many wasps

Lakka Beach
10 Kasimir Petrov.

This beach is a hidden gem that can only be reached by boat, making it a secluded and peaceful destination. It's unclear if there's a road that leads to the beach, but the journey by boat is well worth it. The water is so clear that you can see straight to the bottom, and the rocky seabed adds a unique touch without being uncomfortable.

Vathiavaly beach
10 Sara Landon

The beach is beautifully arranged and well-managed, with a cafe that offers affordable prices. The water is crystal clear and refreshing, perfect for a swim. It is advisable to arrive early to secure a parking spot, but the staff will ensure that you find a safe place to park. The atmosphere is filled with positive energy, complemented by the upbeat Greek music. I am already looking forward to my next visit to this wonderful beach. ❤️
