Latest reviews on Agios Pavlos'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.

Kolatsos beach II
10 Ren Thompson

This beach is an amazing place to stay. I stayed here for 10 days with the all-inclusive plus package, which I highly recommend upgrading to. The animation team, who organize daily sports activities, are absolutely fantastic. All the staff members are extremely friendly and always ready to assist you. The food is delicious and not monotonous like some other all-inclusive resorts. Lastly, I highly suggest visiting the rooftop restaurant for a lovely evening. I want to express my gratitude to everyone at Kiani!

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.

Marathi Beach
10 Avery Larkspur.

We ventured to this beach amidst the presence of red flags on other shorelines across the island due to rough sea conditions. However, we were pleasantly surprised to discover a serene and tranquil ocean with crystal clear waters and a picturesque sandy beach. The prices were also reasonable, with sunbeds accommodating two individuals for a mere 8€, parking for 4€, and refreshing 0.5L bottled Mythos for 3.1€.

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.

Loutraki Beach
8 Ethan James Parker

This stunning beach boasts crystal clear waters that are sure to take your breath away. For a small fee of 8€, you can enjoy the comfort of two seats while soaking up the sun. And if you start to feel peckish, there's a convenient snackbar nearby. However, if you're hoping to spot some exotic marine life while snorkeling, you may be disappointed as the seabed is primarily composed of sand. Nonetheless, this beach is a must-visit for anyone seeking a serene and picturesque escape.
