This sandy stretch of paradise is nothing short of breathtaking. The aquamarine waters are crystal clear, and the beach is immaculately clean.

The beach offers pleasant free areas, with sand both on the shore and in the water. It tends to have a decent amount of visitors, but never feels too overcrowded. Overall, it's a decent spot.👍🏼

The beach was pleasant, although it seemed to be quite congested. Moreover, the experience of swimming amidst the boats was not particularly enjoyable.
Laganas Beach

While we did have the delightful opportunity to swim alongside a graceful turtle, the beach itself felt somewhat underwhelming and overcrowded. Despite its reputation, the beach didn't quite live up to our expectations. However, if you're keen on observing these magnificent creatures, it's definitely worth a visit. I would recommend avoiding peak periods when the beach is swarmed with boats, making it difficult to get a good view of the turtles or take a dip in the water.
Plaka Beach

Aria Elena Dumitrescu
This beach is not recommended due to the terrible customer service we received from the aggressive and rude manager. Despite wanting to spend money on sunbeds, an umbrella, drinks, snacks, and dinner at the tavern, we were met with hostility for simply asking questions and expressing our dissatisfaction with his behavior. The manager was uninterested in hearing our reasons for being there and instead focused on getting as much money as possible or kicking us out. Additionally, the beach is far from the city center and more expensive than advertised.

This is a gorgeous beach to spend a day at. If you're up for it, make sure to go snorkeling on the far left side. The first area on the right has an entrance to the sea with stones. The middle part is great for kids with sand and a few stones. And for those seeking a more adventurous experience, the far left side has lots of stones and fish (perfect for snorkeling). Plus, there's an old man with fascinating stories and a beautiful spot that's definitely worth checking out.
