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.

1.
Porto Katsiki Beach

The most famous beach in Lefkada

Rating:
| Altitude: 0 m / 0 ft

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

The most famous beach of Zakynthos

Altitude: 33 m / 108 ft

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

Rating:
| Altitude: 12 m / 39 ft

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

Rating:
| Altitude: 0 m / 0 ft

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

5.
Mikro Seitani Beach

The most stunning beach in Samos

Altitude: 21 m / 69 ft

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

Rating:
| Altitude: 4 m / 13 ft

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

7.
Sarakiniko beach

The most famous beach on the island of Milos

Rating:
| Altitude: 10 m / 33 ft

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

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 most beautiful beach in the south of Lefkada

Rating:

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
