Latest reviews on Central Greece's beaches

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

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

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.

Gorgeous and easily accessible. Depending on whether the wind is blowing from the south or the north, you can choose your favorite beach! Crystal clear water, beautiful seabed, a few fish.

Anthidona bay beach
8 Niko K.

Two out of the three employees are satisfactory, but the third one is quite bothersome, which is the reason why I cannot give a five-star rating.

Achladi beach
6 Liam Stone

This beach is a typical fishing village in Greece, situated next to the national highway. There is a large square near the ship dock. The swimming conditions in the sea are average due to a large factory operating at the northern border of the village, which appears to be polluting the waters. It could be just my personal preference, but I notice many people swimming despite this. The residents and shop owners are kind and friendly. The market is sufficient to meet all basic needs, and there is an excellent fish restaurant called "Kavos."

Please note that lifeguards supervise 11 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!
