Latest reviews on Kato Gouves's beaches

Saradari Beach
4 Avery Sinclair

This location is a complete disaster. The treacherous descent from the cliff is only possible via a few jagged and unstable rocks. The left side of the beach is riddled with sharp rocks that caused me excruciating pain as I attempted to navigate through them. The water and sand are teeming with lifeless seaweed, which completely defeats the purpose of having crystal-clear waters. I highly advise against visiting this beach and instead suggest finding a more suitable location. I have visited much better spots and this one does not even come close.

Hersonissos beach III
10 Evelina R.

The town's best Margarita can be enjoyed while dancing all night.

Navarchou Nearchou beach
10 Emilia Lane

I'm really happy that I discovered this amazing spot during my vacation! My four friends and I had an absolute blast here! We enjoyed it so much that we visited twice in a single day! We ended up spending more time here than at our hotel. It's a wonderful place to grab drinks, cocktails, have dinner, or just relax. The staff is incredible and super friendly. The cocktails are delicious, and in the evening, they even come with a sparkler. One night, we had dinner and tried various items from the menu. Everyone loved their food! I would definitely recommend this place without hesitation. A big thank you to the shisha man and Sasha for making our vacation extra special!

Analipsi Beach
10 Aria Bennett

We walked from Gouves to Analipsi Beach, taking our time and enjoying the journey. It took us about an hour and a half to reach our destination.

Amnissos beach
10 Lira Kao

We had a great time at the beach. It was a bit breezy, but that's to be expected. We loved watching planes come in and out of the nearby airport, but the noise didn't bother us. The water was perfect, and there weren't too many rocks. We rented an umbrella and some lounge chairs for 7€ and ordered lunch and cocktails from News Cafe Beach. I suggest getting there early because it fills up fast. We arrived at 10:30 and there were plenty of chairs available, but they were all taken by early afternoon. Overall, we had a great day and would definitely come back!

Arena beach
10 Nikos Karamanlis.

This shoreline is located a mere 10-minute drive from Heraleion. Its calm and shallow waters are perfect for frolicking around, but it's best to avoid venturing too far out during windy conditions, as it can be a bit challenging. Additionally, this beach offers one of the most gorgeous sunsets you'll ever witness.
