Best Beaches in Greece
Our top beach offers to Greece!
Voidokilia Beach in the Peloponnese
Our tip: An excursion to the old castle Paleokastro gives you a panoramic view over the bay.
Super Paradise Beach in Mykonos
Our tip: In the morning, you can relax with the family. The party begins late afternoon.
Navagio Beach in Zakynthos
One of the most photographed beaches in Greece is the Navagio Beach in Zakynthos. The reason for this is the on-shore wreck Panagiotis. Since smuggled goods were allegedly on board the ship, the bay is known as Smugglers Cove. The location's unique scenery is rounded off with impressive cliffs, which enclose the white beach with the deep blue sea. The Greek island's flagship is only accessible by boat.
Our tip: From the viewing platform on the rocks an endless view of the Ionian Sea opens up before you.
Canal D'Amour in Corfu
The bay around the tunnel of love is a romantic place for couples. The namesake is the unique rock formation that surrounds the bay. If you believe the old legends, then anyone who thwarts the channel expects a life full of happiness and love. In the bathing bay of Corfu, guests can relax on the small beach and enjoy the view of the rock tunnel formed by the power of the sea, made of sandstone, the turquoise blue sea and the surrounding rocky vaults.
Our tip: Rent a pedalo and marvel at the nearby rock formations just a few minutes away. The waves have created real pieces of art in the rocks over the years.
Porto Katsiki Beach in Lefkada
This beautiful Greek bay is lined with steep, white rocks and Mediterranean flora and fauna. Behind the pebble beach stretches the iridescent, turquoise-blue water. Katsiki Beach is considered one of the six best beaches in the Mediterranean. The environment is displayed in all its splendour when the sun goes down. It is then that the majestic, limestone cliffs shimmer in a strong orange. You can have an exclusive view of this spectacle from a small boat on the sea.
Our tip: Start your trip to this dream beach with a Caribbean feeling early in the morning. So, climb the 110 steps to the hidden bay before the sun gets too strong.
Beach Balos in Crete
Another exceptional seaside resort in Greece is located on the west coast of Crete. Due to very fine, crushed shells the fine sandy beach looks slightly pink. In conjunction with the turquoise water and the exotic plant species, Balos forms a gorgeous natural backdrop. Lots of colourful sea creatures hide between the rocks, which you can discover during a snorkelling excursion. The easiest way to reach Balos Bay is by ferry.
Our tip: As you approach Balos Beach early in the morning, enjoy the silence before the ferries from Kissamos arrive.
Elafonisi Beach in Crete
Only 100m off the south coast of Crete there is a graceful bathing paradise on a small island. You can easily walk to the island. The path through the shallow sea will show red coral traces. The colourful coral reefs are perfect for snorkelling. Shady palm trees, turquoise blue waters and white sandy beaches provide you with a Caribbean feeling. In the cosy taverns, you can also treat yourself to culinary delights.
Our tip: Visit the beach on a windless day. This way you will avoid intrusive sand clouds.
Ai Giannis Beach in Lefkada
The beach Ai Giannis in Lefkada is an absolute insider tip for kite- and windsurfers. Due to strong winds, it is the meeting place of many water sports enthusiasts. In addition, international competitions for kitesurfing are held here. During this period, many spectators spend time on the beach. The long sandy beach is easily accessible by car.
Our tip: Check out the view from the monastery in the village of Fryni. Here you can see the long beach, the turquoise lagoon and the city of Lefkas.
Myrtos Beach in Kefalonia
This so-called 'Piece of Heaven' on the Ionian island of Kefalonia lives up to its name. Since the island is still quite unknown, you will find many untouched natural beauties here. One of them is the isolated Myrtos beach. The water is so intensely turquoise that it makes the place truly heavenly. The protected bay is visited mainly by rest-seeking holidaymakers and hikers.
Our tip: Explore the spectacular surroundings during a dive. There are many surprises waiting for you, including mysterious underwater caves.
Sarakiniko Beach in Milos
Holidaymakers feel as though they are on another planet as they stroll through the lunar landscape of the beach of Sarakiniko. The sea, made of a mixture of shades of green and blue, is surrounded by formations of white volcanic rock. This fascinating natural structure enchants its visitors and transports them into another world. Due to its character, this beach has been the location of several films and music videos.
Our tip: Go on a discovery tour around the beach and wander among volcanic rocks and caves, which according to ancient legends served as protection for pirates.
