Latest reviews on Thessaly and Central Greece's beaches

Kamari beach
10 Aiden Clark.

This serene and pristine beach is perfect for families seeking a peaceful retreat. The tranquil atmosphere and immaculate surroundings make it an ideal spot to unwind and soak up the sun. And when hunger strikes, Kostas taverna offers a delectable lunch menu to satisfy your cravings.

Adrina beach
10 Rick Wave

This is our second year visiting and the hotel is definitely worth a visit, especially because of the friendly staff. The beach has pebbles and the water is crystal clear. We stayed at the Adriana Beach hotel, which is built on a hillside. It can be a bit challenging to walk back to the rooms, but they do have a golf buggy available for those who prefer an easier option. It's worth considering taking the water taxi from skiathos port, although it is a bit expensive at 150 euros each way. However, if there are four of you, it's more cost-effective than taking the flying dolphin ferry and a taxi. The food choices at the hotel were acceptable, but they leaned more towards international cuisine rather than Greek. If you're looking for some excellent tavernas, there are a few on Panorma Beach, which is just a ten-minute walk from the hotel. The only disappointment was that, considering it's a family-run hotel, the family themselves were not very visible. Despite that, we definitely plan on going back. 😎👍🥂

Porto Pefko
10 Annie M.

The beach is excellent and offers a peaceful atmosphere when it's not crowded. The beach bar has reasonable prices for coffee. The view is very pleasant. The parking area is spacious. The water gets deep quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on children. The photos show both the front and back of the beach.

Ag.Nikolaos beach
10 Δημήτρης Αθανάσιος

This cafe by the sea is one of the best! It's perfect for young people, families, and groups. The prices are very good and they have a wide variety of products. The beach right in front of the cafe is incredibly clean and they provide umbrellas and sunbeds at no extra cost. I spent the entire day here, from morning till night!

Ag. Panton beach
10 Randy G

This beach is a hidden gem nestled in a peaceful cove. It truly lives up to its reputation as the most delightful spot in town. The hosts are exceptional, and the breakfast served in this stunning location is simply wonderful.

Itea beach
10 Chadster

Wow! This hotel is absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking view of the sea! The room and the entire hotel have a modern and tasteful decor. The balcony in the room is absolutely charming. The breakfast consisted of delicious local cuisine and the lobby is also quite nice. The service provided was excellent, and everything was clean, comfortable, and peaceful.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 25 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
