Latest reviews on Ombrosgialos'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.

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.

Paralia Kalives
8 Zypheros

This stunning beach boasts an abundance of sunbeds and umbrellas that are readily available at no cost if you indulge in some refreshments at the nearby bars or if you're a guest at one of the hotels. The crystal-clear waters and pristine sandy beach are impeccably maintained, although some sections may have gentle waves while others are perfectly calm. Overall, this beach is an idyllic destination for a relaxing day in the sun.

Kolatsos beach
10 Nathaniel Porter

The path to Kolatsos beach is graced by the tranquil Kiliaris Potamos, a languid stream flanked by swaying bamboo and traversed by a unique wooden bridge, which glows in the evening. The journey through fields of bamboo and olive groves is a delightful experience that is well worth the effort. Ample parking is available in close proximity to the bridge, making it a convenient destination for visitors.

Almirida beach
10 LUCIA MARIA RODRIGUEZ GONZALEZ

This beach is absolutely incredible. We've been exploring different parts of the island and switching hotels, and we stumbled upon this gem when we found a hotel that caught our eye. It was such a pleasant surprise. The beach is entirely sandy, and there are numerous restaurants that offer beach service. The beach chairs are priced at 5 euros each, so for 2 chairs and an umbrella, it costs 10 euros. The water is pleasantly warm and incredibly calm, giving it a lagoon-like feel. The village is filled with a variety of cozy restaurants, making it the ideal place to be. It's simply perfect.

Koutalas beach

This charming beach is a must-visit destination, but make sure to arrive early to secure a parking spot at the base. It's an ideal location for some delightful snorkeling, but be cautious and inspect the water's depth before diving in, as some parts are shallower than others.
