The best of the beaches in Greece
Greece undoubtedly has some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Everyone can choose their most beautiful beach here. Here you will find both white pebble beaches, where the color of the sea is the bluest, and beaches with different colors of sand from light yellow to black volcanic on Santorini. Let's take a look at the most beautiful beaches that Greece has to offer.
Porto Katsiki Beach
The most famous beach in Lefkada
Porto Katsiki is by far the most visited and most famous beach in Lefkada. You will find it under an impressive white cliff. The local color of the sea is absolutely amazing. There are small stones and sand in the southern part. Keep in mind that the southern part of the beach until noon in the shade. The beach is accessible by a good road to the local conditions. There are large but paid parking spaces continue reading
Navagio Beach
The most famous beach of Zakynthos
One of the most famous beaches of Greece is Navagio beach in Zakynthos. Probably the most famous wreck lying between the high cliffs. The sea here has an amazing blue color thanks to its tiny white stones. The beach is only accessible from the sea. continue reading
Achata beach
The most beautiful beach in Karpathos
At the end of the long valley lies the beautiful bay of Achata. On both sides there are towering rocky walls above it. The beach is made of tiny stones and thanks to its beauty is a popular destination for tourists. The road leading here is very narrow. continue reading
Egremni Beach
The most fabulous beach in Lefkada
Egremni Beach is just north of the other famous Porto Katsiki Beach. After a major earthquake in 2015, it is inaccessible by car (the road is still under a landslide in several places, as of 2020). It is now accessible mainly by boat trips from Vasiliki or Nidri. For some visitors, it is the most amazing beach in all of Greece. continue reading
Mikro Seitani Beach
The most stunning beach in Samos
Mikro Seitani Beach is not accessible by road, but only by a three-kilometer forest path from the famous Potami Beach. As a result, you will most likely be here alone or with just a few other tourists who came to see this beautiful beach. You can continue from there to the larger Makro Seitani beach, but there is a water taxi, so there are significantly more people. The beach itself is sandwiched between white rocks and lies at the mouth of a beautiful canyon. You will not find accommodation directly in the vicinity of the beach. There are interesting options in Potami continue reading
Rovinia beach
Hidden beauty
It is a pebble beach, hidden from view. I do not recommend using the nearest parking lot by the beach, because there is a bad road on it and along the way you feel multiple times that you will destroy the car. It is a beautiful pebble beach with a cave on its edge. The disadvantage of the beach is, in addition to accessibility, also a very low water temperature, which allows bathing only the more hardy. The advantage is the beautiful clear water, half-empty beach and the opportunity to observe underwater life. continue reading
Sarakiniko beach
The most famous beach on the island of Milos
Sarakiniko beach is one of the most interesting beaches in Greece, although it is only a small beach hidden in a „fjord“ in white reefs. Outside the beautiful scenery you can enjoy short walks along the white cliffs. Ideally you have to be here early in the morning, because crowds are coming through the day. continue reading
Milos Beach
Breathtaking beach in Lefkada
Right next to the resort of Agios Nikitas you will find one of the most beautiful beaches in Lefkada – Milos. It is accessible either on foot „over the hill“ or by boat taxi (3 Euro one ride). The view from the footpath is absolutely breathtaking. The long beach is located below the green cliffs. On the south side of the beach there is also such a semi-cave and photogenic rocks continue reading
Dafni Beach
Beautiful beach at huge cliff
The southern part of the Vasilikos peninsula falls into the sea with steep cliffs. Near one of them you will find the beautiful, large Dafni Beach. The road here is narrow, full of curves – it must overcome the mountainous hinterland of the peninsula. You can expect some restrictions on visitors here, as the turtles lay eggs here continue reading

Firiplaka Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Milos. The huge volcanic cliff above it will captivate you with its colorfulness. There are also volcanic rocks, but the beach itself is pleasantly sandy. continue reading
Kakoudia Beach
Beach with beautiful rock
Just a few kilometers north of Lerissos, at the Nautilus apartment village you will find the beautiful Kaukoudia Beach. It is typical for its white rocky formations dividing individual bays. The sand here is a bit darker, so it is quite hot. There are relatively few visitors even in full season continue reading
Tsamadou Beach
The most beautiful beach in Samos
Tsamadou beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Samos. You can find it just a short distance from the resort of Kokkari. The western part of the beach is quite crowded because of the Navagos club, the middle is quiet and the eastern half is partially nudist. There are really beautiful views of this picturesque beach from the surrounding cliffs. You can also stay directly above this beautiful beach. There are several options here, a recommended place is the picturesque Armonia Bay Hotel continue reading
Agiofili Beach
The most beautiful beach in the south of Lefkada
The beaches in the south of the island of Lefkada have a completely different character than the long beaches under the cliffs on the west coast. They are beautiful „lunar“ pebble bays surrounded by cliffs overgrown with relatively lush vegetation. The most beautiful beach in the south is Agiofili accessible either by boat from Vasiliki (7 EUR return ticket), on foot (slightly tiring 3km long journey from Vasiliki) or by car on a narrow road (paid parking at the end) continue reading
Apella Beach
The most famous beach on Karpathos
Perhaps the most famous beach in Karpathos is 250 meters long Apella. You get here on a narrow, twisted road. From the mountains you go straight into this fairytale bay with beautiful views on all sides. The disadvantage is the huge overcrowding, thanks to the boat trips from Pigadia spewing another hundreds people. continue reading
Potami Beach
The most photogenic beach in Samos
Potami Beach is located just west of the second largest city in Samos – Karlovas. Thanks to two connected bays, it is one of the most photogenic beaches on Samos and, of course, one of the most beautiful. You will find organized parts here, but most of the beach is natural. The most beautiful famous viewpoint is from the church of Agios Nikolaos towering over the eastern end of the beach. From the beach you can also take a walk to the waterfalls or a short hike to Mikro Seitani beach continue reading
