Latest reviews on Souvlos's beaches

Volakias beach
8 Louis-Philippe D.

The seashore is predominantly secluded, and we had to resort to a sneaky approach by traversing the unpaved path (either on foot for 20 minutes or by a four-wheel drive). However, it is not an obligatory destination for beachgoers.

Paralia Kalimera
8 Zarek Valtair

This serene and stunning beach boasts of fine sand and crystal-clear waters that are not too deep, making it almost perfect for a relaxing swim. However, be prepared for a delightful surprise as you may encounter small fish that welcome you into the water. While they may startle you, they are not overwhelming and tend to stay closer to the shore. Do keep in mind that the only way to access this beautiful beach is via Avlaki beach. So, if you're looking for a tranquil and picturesque spot to unwind, this beach is definitely worth a visit! 🏝☀️

Private secluded shoreline with rocks. Non accessible

Agia Paraskevi

This beach offers an exclusive experience with a delightful atmosphere and ambience. However, the cost of one umbrella and two chairs is €20, which may be considered a bit steep. The food and drink menu may also be on the pricier side, but the overall experience is worth it.
