Latest reviews on Dytikos's beaches
Dyskos beach

Saros Katsaros.
The beach is a stunning sight with its rocky terrain on the right and sandy/gravelly surface on the left. However, the presence of numerous free campers has somewhat marred the pristine beauty of this place, rendering it somewhat overcrowded and not as tidy as one would expect.
Paralia Lenta

Kieran Valtair
This beach is nestled between rocky hills that lead down from the mountain. Accessible by any rental car, the road leading to the beach is entirely concrete. The beach has a small village feel, complete with shops, markets, and tavernas that offer stunning panoramic views of the area. A free car park is available at the village entrance, and while loungers are provided for free, they may be difficult to find due to the beach's small size. The water is pleasant, but not shallow, making it less suitable for young children unless they are supervised closely or know how to swim.
Trachoulas beach

Upon a brief yet steep descent and through a petite gorge, one shall stumble upon Trafoulas Bay. This extraordinary cove, reminiscent of the red planet Mars, boasts of pristine, translucent waters and a sparse population of visitors.

The beach is great, but the presence of locals who reserve umbrellas and the boss's cars blocking parking spots can detract from the overall enjoyment.
