Latest reviews on Atheras's beaches

Myrtos beach
10 Nara Lee

This stunning beach boasts a breathtakingly clear turquoise sea that is a sight to behold. Our visit in early June revealed a serene atmosphere, however, we noticed it was the busiest of all the beaches we visited, so we anticipate it will be much livelier during peak season. The descent from the main road to the beach is quite lengthy, but there are parking spaces available at the bottom. We recommend arriving early during peak season to secure a spot. The beach is quite spacious, allowing for ample room for visitors without feeling overcrowded. The scenic drive down to the beach offers picturesque views that are worth stopping for and capturing with your camera. Despite its popularity, the beach has a remote feel due to the limited facilities available. However, there are restrooms and refreshment options available.

Fteri beach
10 Nathaniel Valtair.

The beach is truly enchanting with its pristine white pebbles and crystal clear turquoise waters. One of the best things about this beach is that it is free from any beach bars, which is definitely a big plus for those seeking a peaceful and relaxing environment. To reach this hidden gem, we took the footpath that took us around 45-55 minutes and required a moderate level of difficulty. It is highly recommended to wear closed shoes and bring plenty of water and some snacks. It is important to stay on the left side of the ravine and cross it from right to left at a certain point, which is dry. However, this beach is not suitable for children under 10 years old. Alternatively, you can opt for a sea taxi, but that would mean missing out on the thrilling adventure of discovering this magical beach on your own.

Agia Kiriaki beach
10 Nolan Jameson Brown.

This beach is a true haven for those seeking a peaceful escape. The serene atmosphere is enhanced by the absence of music, allowing you to truly unwind and relax. The sun umbrellas are thoughtfully spaced apart, ensuring privacy and comfort. The beach-goers are friendly and laid-back, adding to the tranquil vibe. There is even a lovely tavern with a restroom for your convenience. The road leading to the beach is a bit bumpy, but nothing too concerning - it's only a short 1 km stretch. We were surprised to find that some reviews had exaggerated the condition of the road. It's a shame that some people seem to find fault with everything. However, if you're looking for a serene and pristine beach (especially in June), this is the perfect spot. The beach is immaculate and the sun beds are reasonably priced at 7 euros for two. So, sit back and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of this exquisite beach.

Petani Beach
10 Ethan Kowalski

The beach is stunning and has several bars and taverns nearby. There are plenty of amenities, including a beach shower and ample space to relax. The beach is composed of fine gravel with a sprinkling of sand, and you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas if you wish. Parking is available by the beach for a reasonable fee of 5 euros for the entire day.

The winding road leading to it may be a tad challenging, but with a car, you can easily get close to the water. It's worth noting that there aren't any taverns in the vicinity, so it's wise to pack all the essentials you'll need. Once you're there, it's just you and the vast expanse of the sea stretching out before you.
