#1 Lindos Beach (Rhodes) +8 recs 5/5

Spread your towel beneath an ancient acropolis overlooking turquoise waters at Lindos Beach. This bay provides a historic backdrop, perfect for families thanks to its calm and shallow water. While popular with water sports enthusiasts, it remains a essential stop to admire the citadel directly from the sand.

#2 Navagio Beach (Zakynthos) +6 recs 5/5

Navagio Beach is the icon of Zakynthos. A dramatic cove where the rusted MV Panagiotis shipwreck rests on white pebbles, surrounded by 200-meter cliffs and unreal turquoise water. Accessible only by boat, the site can also be viewed from a dizzying cliffside lookout. Landings have been prohibited since 2022, but sea excursions remain striking.

#3 Lalaria Beach (Skiathos) +5 recs 5/5

Tucked into the Sporades archipelago, Skiathos is a lush, green island where forest meets the coast. Among its sixty beaches, Lalaria Beach stands out for its rugged, cliffside terrain. Accessible only by boat, this cove of white pebbles features a natural stone arch and sea caves, including Galazia, known for its glowing blue light.

#4 Firiplaka Beach (Milos) pas encore de reco

Firiplaka Beach, on the island of Milos in Greece, is known for striking multicolored cliffs, white sand, and turquoise water. It is a prime spot for snorkeling and kayaking, featuring beach umbrellas and a small cafe. It is a perfect mix of natural beauty and adventure for those seeking a quiet escape.

#5 Xigia Beach (Zakynthos) -3 recs 1/5

Zakynthos has no shortage of dream beaches, but only one is sulfurous in the literal sense. On the northeast coast, Xigia Beach features waters rich in sulfur. Fed by mineral springs from nearby sea caves, this spot serves as a natural spa. High cliffs and white pebbles define this unique, healing landscape.

#6 Elia Beach (Mykonos) -3 recs 2/5

Amidst the high energy of Mykonos, an island defined by its festive nightlife, Elia Beach offers a quiet sanctuary. Located about 6 miles from town, this expansive stretch of soft sand is framed by hills and cliffs. It remains one of the most scenic bays in Greece, featuring full amenities along the Aegean Sea.

Tourist trap

This beach could have had so much charm, but it is just so crowded and so packed with lounge chairs and other tourist traps that you do not feel in touch with nature at all. A real shame.
