Latest reviews on Kastellos's beaches

Kalyvaki beach
8 Nathan Rivers.

This charming beach is a serene and tranquil oasis, with calm waters that are perfect for a relaxing dip. The nearby river adds to the picturesque setting, and there are plenty of delightful nooks and crannies to discover. You can rent a set of loungers and a parasol for a reasonable €5, and it's worth bringing your goggles or snorkeling gear to explore the underwater world. The beach even offers a water cooler with warm spots, which is a lovely touch. The sand is soft and inviting, and the beach is kept immaculately clean. If you're lucky enough to catch the donut vendor as he passes by, be sure to indulge in one of his freshly made treats - they're a steal at just £2.50, and come in a variety of delicious flavors. And to complete the perfect beach day, grab a cup of coffee from the nearby taverna and unwind in this idyllic setting.

Episkopi beach II
10 Zylar Vontis

This beach is a lovely sandy spot with amenities like showers, chaise lounges, and bars. It offers free parking and plenty of space. It's simply everything you could want in a beach! 😊

Peristeras Beach
6 Goran Milic

The ratings for this beach are too high. The water is comparable to Episkopi beach, which is only a 5-minute drive away. The quality of the sunbeds and umbrellas is lower here. It's not bad, but it doesn't have that dreamy quality. Personally, I would suggest choosing Episkopi beach instead because the sunbeds are more comfortable and the umbrella is of better quality. You have to pay 5 euros for them, and I think the taverna Kyma is really nice.

Souda beach
10 Nikola Petrović

You can access this fantastic pebble beach with crystal-clear turquoise water from two directions: Plakias or Sellia. The latter route may be a bit challenging to navigate, but the breathtaking views of the sea from the mountain make it worth it. You can enjoy free sunbeds by ordering a drink at a nearby bar. It's an ideal spot to spend a scorching summer day.

Episkopi beach
8 Julian Stone

This beach is absolutely fantastic! It boasts an abundance of space, allowing for a peaceful and secluded experience even on a busy Sunday. The sand is pristine and the parking is convenient. The water is crystal clear and the shore is shallow, making it the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun for a day. The only drawback is the lack of amenities available on site.

Korakas beach
6 Niko Katsaros

The beach was satisfactory, but on the day we visited, it did not meet our cleanliness expectations. Nevertheless, we believe it was just an unfortunate coincidence.
