Latest reviews on Peloponnese's beaches

Yialasi beach II
10 sotanidas

This is where dreams come true. The beach is peaceful, clean, and unlike any other. It is very easy to access, with a large shaded parking lot. The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean, and fully equipped. In front of the beach, there is a vast area with lawns and umbrellas. The sea is extraordinary, just a few steps away from the sunken ancient state of Epidaurus. It's just you and the waves. The owners, Vassilis and Maya, are friendly and always go above and beyond to provide you with the best experience possible. It is the perfect destination for a family vacation.

Sterna beach
10 Lila Sanchez

This coastal gem is truly heavenly, but requires a bit of effort to reach. One must either embark on a pleasant ten-minute stroll or possess a sturdy 4-wheel drive vehicle.

Petrothalassa beach
10 Samantha Rivers

This beach is truly one-of-a-kind! The design is lovely and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The beach itself is beautiful and the music adds to the cool vibe. The food is good and the staff are helpful and kind, making our Sunday perfect. There is even parking available and I highly recommend checking out the clothing and accessory shop. Although it's a bit far from Portoheli, it's definitely worth the drive. I would give this place five stars for the wonderful time we had.

Kokkoni beach
8 Linden Calchas

The beach, known as "Always wavy," is similar to how we say "it always rains" in the canyon. However, the ocean is clean and even with the consistent northern winds, you can still have a pleasant swim. Additionally, strolling along the lengthy boardwalk is also quite enjoyable.

Lygaria beach
2 Lara Summers

We will never go back! It was extremely challenging to get there: the path was steep, hard to navigate, heavily overgrown, unstable, and posed numerous hazards. There were many cacti blocking the way, we even came across a snake, and unfortunately, my husband had a fall and got injured. We strongly advise against visiting this beach.

Harakia beach
10 Nelara Yuristia
