While we did see small cars going further, also I wouldn't recommend a tourist in a rental car getting further than here. We parked here and while walking down were greeted by two guys on the back of a pickup truck, that drove them back uphill shouting "5€ on way back" at us...and that's precisely what we did, too: The pickup truck with seating in the pickup area made from rolled-up carpets may be waiting at the bottom-most parking lot and charges 5€ per person. That is the way to go and a lot of extra fun!

Don't go any further with non 4 x4 vehicles. Good accessible parking lot, last 600 meter is a gravel road. Slow speed is enough to get to the parking.

(Translated by Google) A helpful pin. It prepares you that there is a safe place to leave the car before the descent for the car. If you want, you can go down and try it. But it is definitely preferable only if you have a 4x4. The road from here on is downhill and a bit inhospitable, so everyone takes responsibility. Generally, by foot it is a 13 minute descent on foot and then a 20 minute climb on foot, so in general patience is needed. There is space for several cars. (Original) Μια βοηθητική πινέζα.

a simple place in the open air, interesting for children, there is a special modern room with books and pencils. it shows how a water mill works. good coffee.

Beautiful place with a bunch of information, both in text and through videos, on historical occupations and how they used the water streams. It has exhibits on a granary, tannery, and even a gunpowder shop. Nice views, well maintained, and educational. Absolutely worth a visit. And if you're nice you might get a visit from the museum kitty.

We went there during the 25th of March celebrations period. It was beautiful, the entire town was getting ready for the march with the unique torches as a symbol of the contribution of the town in producing gunpowder during the revolution. The museum showed the actual machinery that is water operated to produce the gunpowder, and so many other things. The place is neat, pretty well explained in English and very unique.

IMPORTANT: visit when the weather is good since it's mostly outdoors. One of the best museums I've visited recently. Incredible exhibits of local history with working mechanisms that show you how gun powder was made, how they washed leather back in the day and how they utilised water power back in the day

Nice museum that shows really well how was the life in the area and how the Water supported human being to progress and survive.

A very interesting museum in the countryside where you can find information on how leather was processed and gunpowder was produced in Greece 2 centuries back. We visited on a week day and there were not many visitors, only a few pupils from a school. The visit shouldn't take more than an hour. Make sure you see how the wooden sticks move with the power of the water to smash gunpowder grains. 5 stars, highly recommended!

Wonderful museum explaining how they work and not only displaying water powered mechanisms found in water mills. Good videos, comprehensive written explanations for all items.

Astonishing sandy beach. Blue clear and shallow water 💙 At the beginning of September we found a calmy and hot water just perfect to swim and enjoy this beautiful place. It is the most beautiful beach on the island, and if you want to have a breathtaking view climb the hil that is near to see why this place is so appreciated by so many people.

"This way to paradise" was so accurate. By far the most gorgeous beach with the best water for swimming I've ever visited. Extremely shallow with white sand and warm water, I could stay all day. The chairs are overpriced so I'd recommend just sitting on the sand, it is soft and relaxing either way

The beach is one of the most beautiful that I have ever visited. Clean water and luxurious sand. The review is for the team that was renting out beach chairs and umbrellas. They were kind and fair. 35€ for the set of wooden beds and umbrellas. 20€ for the set of regular beach chairs and umbrellas. Worth the price. The same team brought us delicious coffees and cold water. Reasonably priced. Great spot!!

Wonderful beach , one of the best in Greece. Do not pay for sunbeds 50 euros per set, it doesnt worth it. Bring your own chsirs and umbrellas. Also the coffee we paid was one of the most expensive , 5 euros each for an average coffee

This is an amazingly beautiful beach on Elafonissos. Take a quick ferry from Pounta. You need a car here. Water is an amazing blue and crystal clear. Sugar sand beach. There is no shade— you’ll need an umbrella or need to rent from a beach bar. Worth the trip

One of the best beaches I have ever seen - it can easily compete with beaches in the Caribbean. Parking is free and there is one big parking area. The sunbeds and umbrella cost 40€ per day(June 2025), which is quite a lot, but it pays off. We spent the whole day there and it was a day in paradise. Food and drinks can be ordered directly to the beach for a little tip.

I’ll start with the good — a very beautiful beach, stunningly colored water (warm, even when it’s windy), and trash bins available. Now, what somewhat spoiled the mood — on the part of the beach where there’s easy access to the water without rocks, there are two rows of sun loungers. If you come with your own umbrella, you’ll be asked to move further away and not sit in front of them (so you don’t ruin the view with your “cheap” umbrella?). I wouldn’t mind paying for one of their loungers, but wait — what do I actually get for 50 euros besides the lounger itself? Nothing. No changing rooms, no showers, and most importantly — no toilet. The umbrellas are old and worn, and the mattresses are stained and shabby. In my opinion — and forgive me if this sounds subjective — it comes across as disrespectful and greedy. If you walk further down the beach and reach another one, you’ll find a lovely café and a toilet there.

Impressive place to visit if you are in historical stuff, or have a vivid imagination, took me about an hour to study it but the sun was unforgivable, take sunscreen and put it on all your body parts :) there is a car parking at the top. The place is quite amazing.

Very interesting history and some very impressive sights. Some of the paths are slippery and hard to walk on so be mindful of what shoes you wear. Costs 20 per person so not bad but would be a much better value if you are a history buff. The experience was quite humbling at times thinking about the ancient civilization. Parking was nuts and it wasn’t even that busy of a day. Overall we were happy we went but it isn’t something we’d pay for again.

We stopped by on our way to Nafplion and it was totally worth it. The site is surrounded by mountains, and the views are just amazing - both towards the peaks and the sea. We arrived around 10 in the morning and it was already pretty busy, parking wasn’t easy to find. By around 1 p.m. it got really crowded, so it’s better to come earlier if you can. The ticket costs 20€, which feels a bit pricey, but the place is quite big and full of interesting things to see — tombs, caves, and old stone walls. Definitely a must-see if you’re in the area.

Very extensive site with good explanations in Greek and English. The parking was a bit tight but cleared out after buses left at midday. I love the beehive tomb very unusual in my experience.

A must-see, of course! Even though not much remains from the Bronze Age structures, it’s fascinating to walk through the site and imagine how this mighty citadel once stood proudly atop the hill, surrounded by majestic mountains and a breathtaking landscape. The atmosphere feels ancient and mysterious — you can really sense the weight of history here. Don’t miss the royal tombs, especially the Treasury of Atreus (or Tomb of Agamemnon) located a bit further down the road — it’s truly impressive!

Parking is small, it gets filled up quickly. The museum should be visited first for a better understanding. The Mycenian culture greatly influenced other peoples, it is very significant in history. The city is huge and with lots of monumental architecture. Too little info onsite to be honest.

A must visit site for anyone interested in the Mycenaean civilisation. Be warned though, there is very little shade and thus no real respite from the heat on a hot day. Additionally, the 'cafe' at the entrance is run by a scalper - €5 for a litre of water is outrageous.

Beautiful views from the top, the panoramas are really worth it. Unfortunately, the site itself is poorly maintained, not really visitable inside, and the €20 entrance fee is absolutely too much. I’m giving it 3 stars mainly because of the price – €5–10 would be more appropriate considering the limited access and its recent history.

A fantastic place to visit in Nafplio! The view from the top is absolutely stunning, especially when the water around the town turns that beautiful blue-green turquoise shade. There are several viewpoints around the fortress, so take your time to walk around and enjoy the different perspectives. There’s also a small café inside for a quick break. You can either climb up the famous stairs or drive up — both options are worth it. The only downside is that the ticket price feels a bit high, but overall, it’s definitely worth the visit for the view alone!

Absolutely gorgeous views and a very impressive fortress. The architecture and preservation is amazing. We had so much fun exploring and there seemed to be a new view around every corner. I was surprised they even had a little snack cafe’ in the main area and it appeared they were working on some sort of museum as well. Oh…bring good shoes with traction. You’ll thank me later.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Palamidi Fortress (Nafplio) Palamidi Fortress is absolutely stunning and one of the most impressive historic sites I’ve visited in Greece. The view from the top is breathtaking — you can see the entire town of Nafplio, the sea, and the surrounding mountains. It’s worth every single step of the climb (or drive up if you prefer). The fortress itself is massive, beautifully preserved, and full of history. You can easily spend a couple of hours exploring the different bastions, tunnels, and stone pathways. Every corner has a different perspective and photo opportunity. It’s peaceful, scenic, and gives you a real sense of Greek history and architecture. Whether you hike up the 999 steps or drive to the entrance.

Nice view even from the front of the door :) We could not get inside cause the doors were already closed about 5pm. During summer they are open longer till 9pm as I heard.

The fortress is an impressive place with amazing views over Nafplio and the sea. The history and atmosphere are truly worth experiencing. However, the entrance fee (20€ per person) feels a bit high, especially since there’s no museum or additional exhibition inside. It takes no time at all to climb the stairs, but walking down the road will take you about an hour.

The Palamidi Fortress, a grand and impressive Venetian fortress, is nestled on the crest of a high hill overlooking Nafplio. A must-see sight, it feels like a never-ending structure that sprawls across most of the hill. It’s a top destination to visit if you’re nearby, as exploring it and learning about its rich history can take two hours or more. You can access it by climbing 913 steps from the town of Nafplio or by car/taxi, which brings you directly to the fortress entrance, where parking is available. We recommend arriving early, as the parking fills up quickly. The fortress also offers free public restrooms, a bar, and a museum shop.

Nice beach in Napfliou, you rent the chairs for 15 euro a pair. Beer is 8 euro for 2 big ones. Water is warm but very salty.

I love Tolo beach outside of the season. Its nicer when its not over crowded. Its a sandy, shallow beach which is child friendly for that reason. There are many bars and taverns also a water park at the beach. Tolo beach used to be a blue flag beach, but it has lost its flag in summer of 2025 due to disorganization of the beachside and garbage. The water quality is still good.

Love this area! Clean beach, many shops and restaurants. The growing city is making parking more difficult. Many nice hotels available.

Tolo, unfortunately, has been overexploited through the years. Don't let the seemingly picturesque photos fool you. The beach that used to be the main attraction is literally covered with seats and sunbeds from the local shops. If this was done tastefully, it would be fine. However, the prices are similar to those found in Greek islands and kitsch is the order of the day everywhere. Go to Nafplio instead instead of spending a day here

Nice beach with plenty of restaurants, cafes and all you need for a pleasant day on a beautiful beach.

A beautiful sandy beach with shallow water. There are outdoor showers, deckchairs, changing cabins, free parking, food, drinks, shallow water in the sea for non-swimmers and for children. There is not much space for sports on the beach, but it is worth visiting. Fun little beach.

When there is no wind, the water is amazing, clean, warm, and relaxing. Not deep for many meters far from the beach. Closer to the end of the day you could experience great waves, therefore, kids and adults are full of joy 😁

I loved it I know its a long hike The hike up is a bit steep, but totally worth it! If you love history, mythology, and spectacular scenery, this is a must-visit when in Corinth. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water—it's a big site to explore!

Don’t go there in the middle of the day, as the sun can be harsh and there’s little shade. Bring plenty of water, a hat, and wear good shoes since the paths can be uneven. The view of the sea is breathtaking from the top, stretching endlessly with deep blue waters meeting the horizon. There’s also convenient parking nearby, which makes access easy, though it can get busy during weekends and holidays.

There is a breathtaking view from the top of the hill. It is worth climbing up here. There is a parking lot at the foot of the castle, from where you can walk up to the castle on a steep slope. It is really worth it. There is no entrance fee, but it is important to pay attention to the opening hours because they really do close the gate.

No entrance fees, spent about 2.5 hrs there…travelled around 2.85km inside. Elevation around 160m from the entrance. Could have explored more but the site closes at 3.30pm…the gate closes fully at 3.30pm and there doesn’t seem to be any way out after that, so have to be aware of the time. Alarms start sounding around 3pm. Toilets are located outside, where the restaurant is. Beautiful views and ruins, worth going definitely!

A massive fortification overlooking the wealthiest city of ancient Greece. If you look closely, you will see phases of masonry from many historical periods, from ancient to post medieval times and all in between. Its size renders it almost impossible to see in a single visit. The entirety of the enclosure was built during the Archaic Period by the Kypselids, the tyrant (at that time the word meant ruler and had not yet acquired the negative demeanor it has today) dynasty of Corinth and especially Periandros, son of Kypselos, who was one of the seven wise men of Archaic Greece (among these were also Solon of Athens, one of the fathers of democracy, and Thales of Miletos). The remains of these walls can still be seen all along the base of the walls. The overall enclosure is huge and encompasses all of the area elevated upon the top of the rock, which offers incredible natural defenses on all sides but for a sector in the SW corner. The importance of this fortification cannot be understated. From its commanding position it controlled the entrance to the Peloponnese and the Diolkos, the equivalent of the Suez canal of sea trade in the ancient Mediterranean. Corinth had two major ports, one in the Corinthian Gulf and one in the Saronic Gulf. Ships would dock in one of the two, unload their cargo to be transported to the other dock by land, while the empty vessel would be rolled on the paved road to also end up at the port on the opposite side. This saved seafarers the trip around the Peloponnese, which meant saving time and money, as well as providing much more safety from menacing weather and pirates that constantly endangered ancient seamen. Corinth was greatly enriched by providing this service, as well as by other activities, such as lodging and entertainment for the sailors while the land transport took place. These all lasted all the way through the Archaic, the Classical and the Hellenistic periods, all in all about half a millenia. A major interruption was the time following the Roman punitive sack of Corinth in 146 BC. During the centuries of the Pax Romana the fortress, far from the borders and under Roman protection, was no longer required to be upkept at peak condition. Nevertheless, its sturdy construction upon the naturally fortified rock still stood strong enough to repel the barbarian raids of the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. It seems that the first emperor to really conduct extensive rebuilding on the site was Justinian. The Eastern Roman (Byzantine) empire kept the site in more-or-less excellent condition throughout its lengthy historical journey, and it served as a major army base for most of this time. A Norman raid in 1170 caught the garrison unprepared and thus the site was sacked. In the early 13th century the raiding "crusaders" of the 4th crusade failed to take it by force, and opted to build a castle and additional defensive works in order to compel the garrison to eventually surrender, after about five years of holding out. The Franks made some additions (mainly the keep and the small enclosure surrounding it), and later the Venetians also modified the upper parts of the walls in order to adapt them to the age of gunpowder. So what we see today is a Byzantine rebuild directly upon the Archaic core, topped by Venetian finishes with some Frankish additions.

This is a huge area with medieval constructions. We didn't get the time to go everywhere, but enjoyed what we did. In addition to the construction, you get wonderful sights over the seas on both sides and the neighbour cities. And it's free. The only downside is that it closes as early as 3.30pm. You should wear good shoes and be ready to walk a lot.

Amazing place, a bit of a hike to get around but you get rewarded with wonderful views, ancient stories and buildings to look at

After seeing the theatre, walking around the surrounding areas and taking in the scenery. Then I think you should go to the museum in order to piece everything together. This museum has all the artifacts found in the surrounding areas. I had a tour guide with me so I was able to appreciate the artifacts, what they meant and the gods that the ancient Greeks worshipped in this area. Without this context I would have been lost. Also €20 euros is a really steep price for in essence a small room and an ancient theatre. It should be €5 in my humble opinion.

Small archaeological museum.. near the theater/ stadium.. I felt a little bit of sorrow.. yes they have some ancient stuff.. but it is small.. not air-conditioning and need restoration.. you see the walls the painting goes out.. I don't know why they don't have it , in good condition.. again this you can see with the same ticket.

Epidaurus Archaeological Site & Museum. Historical amphitheatre, and artifacts in the museum that are well preserved and some restored to simulate original appearance. The museum, is also known for its columns and inscriptions. Peloponnese, Greece #EpidaurusArchaeologicalSite #EpidaurusTheatre #Peloponnese #Greece

This place is definitely worth visiting!!! This is where modern medicine and modern doctors had their beginnings!!

The museum is realy small and highly neglected. It's collection has been plundered from the national museum in Athens leaving mostly replicas behind. Its exhibition is very old fashioned and a bit confusing. The museum collection has some great building parts from the roofs of the ancient temples of the area that are really impressive. But although the museum has its problems the archaeological site is one of the top sites in Greece. The ancient theatre is huge and well preserved (athens theater festival is hosted every summer there). And the remains of the buildings and the temples are really interesting and nicely presented. An UNESCO world heritage site Entrance 12€ and 6€ reduced ticket. Under 18 and eu students for free

Nice museum with lots of interesting pieces

Small museum but a handful of large pieces to see, good to check out if you’re at the site already so u can see what things would have looked like to

Amazing condition with only basic restoration. To be able to climb tge steps & sit on the ancient seats is such a treasure. Would be fantastic to attend a show there. A small museum was also quite interesting. The walk through the remaining archaeological site was sadly cut short due to rainy weather.

This is a place to visit indeed, a massive and well-restored ancient theatre overlooking the mountains. We have seen other theaters before, in Thermessos, Aspendos and Phaselis in Antalya, this one is far bigger though. The place has great acoustics and definitely worth a visit, there’s also a museum with findings and inscriptions from the past and a large archeological site.

Incredible site to see! Highly recommend. If you sing, this is a chance to get heard by strangers for an impromptu performance with amazing acoustics and likely applause from visitors. We got lucky and got to hear a short casual performance.

An absolutely incredible site and a must-see in Greece! The ancient theatre of Epidaurus is astonishingly well preserved and famous for its perfect acoustics — you can literally hear someone speaking or dropping a coin from the stage, even from the top rows. The setting among green hills adds to the magic of the place. The surrounding archaeological site and small museum are also worth a visit. It’s an easy and peaceful walk around. Truly one of the highlights of any trip to the Peloponnese!

Really impressive space. The amount of constructions around the place, the sheer size of the theater, the unbelievable acoustics, the good state of conservation, the scenery, everything make up for an unforgetable experience. A must.

It’s impressive to see the theatre, views from the top are wonderful. We did also catch a girl briefly singing & the acoustics are just amazing. The rest of it is just ruins! Very expensive at €20 each - it’s not worth that. No audio guide, not even a restaurant open! No discount for English seniors either, EU only! Another brexit bonus. It was dog friendly - though not allowed in the actual theatre.

The place exceeded my expectations! We didn't manage to see ancient theatres in Athens, but coming here was much better experience. First of all because of much quieter location, much greener, lovely nature and the whole complex around. The theatre structure itself deserves a credit for being preserved so well. Parking at the entrance is huge, no worries about where to leave your car. All info tablets are in two languages, wonderful museum with sculptures. But, obviously, visiting place in mid-October also contributed to my super positive experience. Looking at infrastructure, I can imagine flow of people here in summer.

Paralia Aponisos is a beautiful and peaceful spot on Agistri Island, offering crystal-clear waters and stunning natural scenery. Unlike the adjacent private islet of Aponisos, which charges an entrance fee (€6) for access to sunbeds, umbrellas, and food facilities, this beach area is completely free. Getting There: Paralia Aponisos is about a 15–20 minute drive from Skala, the island’s main port town. The route follows Agistri’s main road — it’s narrow but in good condition and very easy to navigate. Once you arrive, you can park conveniently right near the beach. The Experience: The beach itself is small, but the surrounding rocks offer plenty of spots to lay down a towel and relax, even though you’ll be lying on rocks rather than sand. The water is incredibly clear, with the feeling of a natural pool — really something out of a movie. The seabed is rocky for the first 20–30 meters, then turns into soft sand with beautifully transparent water, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. When we visited in early May, it was very peaceful and uncrowded, with only a handful of people around. Just be aware that during peak summer months (July and August), it likely gets much busier. Facilities and Surroundings: Behind the beach there’s a small port area and a food establishment (a bar/café), so you have options for refreshments nearby. To the side, you’ll see the private islet of Aponisos, which you can reach via a concrete platform. On the islet, for a fee, you’ll find organized facilities like sunbeds, umbrellas. Just a heads-up: directly behind the small sandy part of the beach, there’s a small port area, along with the road and a parking area for scooters and cars. This does take a little away from the feeling of untouched nature, since you’re not completely secluded. Still, the beach itself is so beautiful and the water so clear that you’ll probably enjoy it there anyway — once you’re swimming or relaxing by the sea, it’s easy to forget about what’s behind you. Final Thoughts: Paralia Aponisos offers a stunning, clear-water swimming spot with easy access and a laid-back vibe. Whether you want to snorkel, swim, or just relax on the rocks, it’s a fantastic place to spend a few hours. Just keep in mind that it’s not a sandy beach, and it may be much busier in the high season. We really enjoyed our time here and highly recommend visiting if you’re in Agistri.

Best beach of the island in terms of views and facilities. Entry with umbrella and regular sunbed is 6€ per person, and they have plenty (I’d say at least 100). If you want a set with cushion sunbeds (more comfy) it’s 5€ more (2,5€ per person). Considering the beach and the views, it’s excellent value for money. Very important: if you want, you can contact them to reserve sunbeds without additional fees, to make sure they are available when you arrive. This might be very useful especially during the weekends, where there are many more people and it might be hard to find available sunbeds. There is a beach bar with some food and drink options, and you can order directly from your sunbed through a button which calls a server without additional charge, very nice. The water is fantastic, there is both a shallow and a deep area, and you can also rent a kayak to explore the bay. Overall, I highly recommend, one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to, particularly nice after 5pm when most people have gone away and it’s quieter. Side note about the bus: as per July 2025, there are 2 (occasionally 3) buses that go from Skala to Aponissos, stopping by Megalochori, Dragoneira and Limenaria. The timetables are displayed on site, but it’s usually once an hour. While during the week you can manage to catch the bus in the morning (either the tourist bus for 5€ or the regular bus for 2€), during the weekend it’s almost impossible to catch one before 13:00, and there are very few taxis on the island, so I recommend be prepared for that maybe by reserving in advance or by renting a scooter. Conversely, catching the bus to go back in the afternoon, especially after 18, is much easier.

- It’s a private beach with 6Euro entrance fee. The fee includes sunbed with shade (no mattress- with mattress you pay 5Euro/2 person more and if with bed and cover- 10Euro). - However the access to the water is free as it can be access before the entrance. Out of that area there are 2 restaurants and many shade below trees. - Good service and perfect organization. Stay and press the button, they will come to get your order. Price is reasonable. - They also provide some stuff on the water for you to have fun. - The beach is sandy (still rocks here and there but still). About 6km from Skala.

It is a very beautiful place with lovely surroundings. The water is clear and great for swimming. However, admission to the sun loungers costs €6 per person, and a sun lounger costs an additional €10 per person. The front sun loungers in the first row are even more expensive. .

Heaven on earth. The water, the view, the excellent services of the well trained staff.

A very pretty beach with crystal clear water. There is a private beach side, cost of entry is 5€ which includes a sunbed. The customer service is very friendly and quick with reasonable prices. There is also a free area where you can lay down towels and rest under tree shades.

Beautiful beach. You don't need to cross the bridge in order to enjoy the beautiful water. Be aware that the sand is rocky and Not sutible for barefoot. Lots of urchin!

I think this is the best beach in Poros island. Trees provide shade and environment up to where the water starts. It is organised and you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds. Food and drinks are also available with prices the same like elsewhere. If you wish a good spot it is advisable to go as early as 10 o'clock in the morning.

Extremely disappointing experience. The staff was shockingly rude, the worst treatment we've received in 15 years of visiting beaches in Greece. Poor service, zero hospitality. Definitely not the Greek welcome we’re used to. Would not recommend.

The bay is absolutely gorgeous - crazy clear green waters, lots of fish to observe. This is unfortunately shadowed by poor customer service from there staff and over inflated prices for sunbeds. The staff is eager for money that they invoke some non-existing law that they cannot keep your already paid sunbed for more than 30 minutes. The worst customer experience ever in Greece.

Nice water, nice beach, but the services leave a lot to be desired. In the pure Greek commercial spirit, you pay 20 euros for a lounger, but if you leave more than 30 minutes because you don't want to eat extra lunch from them, you've lost your seats. And that wouldn't even be the problem, but the fact that this "rule" is not posted anywhere or communicated in advance...just Greece ;)

It is a petite cute beach that is excellent for quiet relaxing time. The bay is surrounded by deep vegetation which ensured its privacy. That is how the name came. It is very popular with couples or even people who prefers quiet calm environment. The water is sea green, clear. The sand is a little red to brown but sandy. The bay water is also calm enough, making it a perfect place for holidays and romantic outings. A narrow road surrounds the bay, but there is not much traffic in it. The bay has shower and drinking facilities.

Nice little beach with catch name. The waters look nice from above, but when you get in, you'll realize they are pretty muddy. OK for 1 time but it wouldn't be my favorite beach. The beach bar offer some sunbeds but at full season it's very very crowded.

It was my long walk on New Year's day, came all the way from the port that's downtown Poros & it was absolutely stunning! No wonder it's crowded in the summer, there were others enjoing a little picnic on the same day, such a quiet lovely place with crystal clear waters, looking forward to visiting again in the summer!

It's a beautiful temple, which I highly recommend visiting to learn about its historical significance. It's one of the three temples in the "Sacred Triangle." Admission is 10 euros and also gives you access to the museum.

Beautifully maintained Temple of the Goddess Aphaia, a mysterious figure local to Aegina and sometimes Crete. Pausanias (2nd c. CE) records that the Aeginetans called Britomartis “Aphaia. The Temple is really well-preserved and maintained. Admission is 10 Euro. Go early in the morning to avoid the buses and crowds. Taxis do go up here.

I like to call this island pistachio island. Everywhere you go including the beautiful temple of Aphaia are pistachios. Beautiful views and I would love to go here in the evening to take in the view of Athens. Amazing views.

A must-see if you’re visiting Aegina! The Temple of Aphaia is beautifully preserved and stands on a hill with an absolutely stunning view over the sea and even the mainland on a clear day. It’s quiet, peaceful, and feels very authentic compared to the crowded sites in Athens. Totally worth the 20-minute ride from the main port — it gives a real sense of ancient Greece. And after your visit, don’t miss grabbing a pistachio ice cream from the little shop right next to the site — Aegina’s specialty and the perfect way to end the visit!

It was okay. Maybe a lot better if we didn't walk a mile straight up to get there. Ruins with a small tourist store. Interesting information tables throughout. Lots of cats roaming around begging for food. Cost $10 euros to explore site. Very nice view from the top. Several tour busses were visiting at the same time as we were there.

Temple of Aphasia is a truly lovely place! Beautiful atmosphere, welcoming staff, and a serene vibe. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and inspiring experience.

It is a beautiful ancient temple well preserved. I don't know about the entrance cost because EU citizens under 25 have free entrance upon showing their ID. Highly recommend

We had a fantastic time at this Beach! The atmosphere was super chill and the staff were really friendly. We recommend booking sunbeds in advance, as they can fill up quickly. The only negative aspect of my experience was that we were not informed about the parking fee.

We had a nice time at this beach. The water is shallow very far out so it’s good for kids or non swimmers. The sights were beautiful and the chairs were comfortable. The staff was great too. The only downside is that it is expensive. I’m talking €10 per large water bottle - these are 1€ elsewhere. The food and drinks were also USD priced at €20 a cocktail and over €25 for beach food. It’s nice if you can afford to splurge. We spent €80 on an umbrella with two seats. We spent €70 on a smoothie, 2 coffee, a yogurt bowl and 3 waters.

The place is nice and the sea is very clear. However, the service and facilities are poor. For this price (we paid 200 euros for 2 people), I was expecting a much better experience. I think this is a lack of attention to small details to make it the place to go (for example some nice music, shampoo in the showers, more friendly staff, towels included, parking included, etc.)

The beach is amazing, the water is Crystal clear BUT parking is 15 euros, no towels , very slow service and no one cleans the table until you leave so we had 10 glasses of water and the food remains on the side table till we left !! Towels is available to rent !!!!!! And they are disgustingly old and all that after paying 180 euros for the umbrella … honestly I will come back but the only reason is the water clarity and nothing els !! What a pity, this place could easily turn into heaven

Upscale . Entrance fee Eu 35 per person includes umbrella and beach chair. Towels available at extra 10 EU. Food variety available and prices are a bit higher than restaurants. Shallow clear water but cold in the middle of August.

One of the best beaches in Athens. Prices though have gone massively up the last few years (70-180 euro per set) without any renovation of the sun-beds and umbrella’s the last 17 years. The quality of the umbrella’s and sun-beds are dated and of poor quality with absorbing heat that could easily produce skin burns.

When I looked at the reviews before coming I was scared to be honest ,but after I came and visited the beach its absolutely amazing in everything. I made my reservation online from their site and when I came it was very smooth. Beach is very clean with no rocks which makes it very nice to have a swim and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Something that is a plus for me is that they don’t have loud music which makes you relax and enjoy your day. Absolutely an amazing experience that I would recommend to everyone visiting Athens !

I love this Zoo. We come with my son who is now 2 for over the year every weekend. We come less in summer, as it is hot. Its amazing zoological park with big variety of animals. Animals overall seems to get a great care. One thing tho, I really dont like how they "care" for rabbits! Im an owner of the rabbit fo over 12 years and the care they get at zoo is absolutely inadequate. They should do afoption program for them there. But real and seriouse one, maybe to partner with shelter, etc... And I do belive the seals need a much bigger pool. Also I wish the owner could participate with nice coffee shops and spread them around the territory. So people can have wariety of options. Also I do belive place can benefit from more programs like : buy a steak for Lion, or buy some food for animal of choice and you can see him fed by our stuff at certain hours. Thats will bring more money and more returned visitors and more visitors in general. We have annual path. Its amazing park otherwise to come to.

Very nice organized zoo close to Athens, very close to the airport. It has a large variety of exhibits. The dolphins pool is unique, I have never seen that kind of activity in a zoo. The Asian elephants are great. The butterflies area is also very nice. Has a lot of spots to seat, with plenty of shadow. The crew was very helpful, the place well maintained, and not crowded.

We really enjoyed our visit, so much we stayed 6 hours! If you have young kids, renting a trolley is worth it as there is obviously a lot of walking. Regardless of what you think of zoos, the zoo is clean, animals seem healthy and happy and it’s a great educational environment for children to learn to respect the planet and the animal kingdom. A fantastic day out!

It was a wonderful experience, especially the Lemurian therapy :)) ! There is great variety of animals and they are very well taken care of. The trail is beautiful with trees and greenery. We spent aroud 3h but you need around 4h-4:30h to see everything.

Amazing experience for my little boy 💙 I know he won't remember today's activities but he enjoyed it the most, so we decided it's good for his brain development to repeat this activity every year until he is old enough to create meaningful memories with his family 😁 until next time then!!!

I can't say enough good things about this zoo. It's clear from the moment you walk in that the staff genuinely cares about the animals and their well-being. Every animal looked incredibly well-maintained, healthy, and clean. The enclosures are spacious and meticulously looked after, providing a great environment for the animals. Beyond the animals, the entire zoo was spotlessly clean and well-arranged. The pathways were clear, the landscaping was beautiful, and it was easy to navigate from one exhibit to another. It made for a very pleasant and enjoyable day.

The Athens Zoo is a true oasis of joy for animal lovers. The fact that you don’t have to wait in long lines and can even enter certain areas to feed the animals makes the experience truly wonderful. It’s a beautiful, relaxing place filled with special moments.

The trip was about an hour and a half from where i'm staying.But after you get out of the hustle and bustle, the trip was awesome. A lot of places you could pull over and take pictures or just pull over and go down to the shore. The temple itself was twenty euros, which seemed kind of high.But I did have a good time and got plenty of pictures.

The temple is beautiful, but the tickets are a little expensive for how much time you can actually spend here. This is definitely one of the best places you can watch the sunset from, though. We went on a semi-cloudy day, and even then the sunset was stunning. There is also a cafe that is nice to take some time to relax at, since if you're staying in Athens it is a bit of a drive.

A beautiful place in itself, but the unjustifiably high price of €20 made us turn back and take a free walk in another part of the peninsula, where the views were just as breathtaking. Is the price of watching the sunset — even next to such a stunning temple — really comparable to the entrance fee for Mycenae, Corinth, or Epidaurus, where, in addition to the ruins, you also visit a museum and get a wealth of information? A highly promoted tourist spot — deservedly so for its amazing views, but not for its price.

Well worth the visit. Beautiful spot for sunset or sunrise just pity cant buy tickets in advance and so creates lenghty lines to get in . One desk to buy tickets . Bathrooms another long line for ladies especialy.

This place is just magical during sunset.🌄 It was actually raining when we got there and just before the sunset at 18:30, the weather turned. There was also a beautiful rainbow🌈 Don't buy tickets in advance due to weather conditions, so just buy on the spot.

Visiting the Temple of Poseidon was an unforgettable experience. The temple itself is truly majestic, standing tall for more than 2,000 to 3,000 years and offering a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Greek history. The surrounding sea views are breathtaking, and when combined with the temple’s presence, it feels almost magical. The highlight of the visit was without doubt the sunset. It is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, with the colors reflecting over the Aegean Sea and the temple glowing in the evening light. The road leading to the temple was also a wonderful part of the journey, with scenic views all along the way. A must-visit when in Greece! 🌅🏛️

The temple on the edge of the sea is a magnificent view. It's definitely worth it to visit. It's not so hard to get to there from Athens with the public transport. You can take the bus to Sunion which cost only 6.20 euros in direction. We took it from the Singrou-fix at around 11 o'clock. The trip to there takes around two hours and the road is very beautiful by the sea. The entrance ticket is 20 euros. There is coffee/restaurant there. The bus will drop you off right to the entrance of the temple.

Nice beach with quite dirty sand but still worth to visit (via boat from Merichas 14 euro both ways). Unfortunately the only place to eat or have water is closed. Also a gate to the church on the hill is closed at the moment and not possible to open it unless you climb the rock fence.

The road to the beach isn’t as bad as people say! You can get there with a regular car – it’s just a bit narrow and unpaved, so if you meet another car you’ll need to coordinate a bit, but with caution you can definitely go with a regular car. No need for a boat, even though lots of people will tell you otherwise The beach is amazing.

Not easy to reach by car as some 200 meters are very narrow even for one car! As there were more the 60 boats and yachts the water was not clear so the swim was less 3 seconds! But this piece of stand land is amazing!

Avoid at peak season (mid August) if you like quiet and not too crowded beaches. Otherwise nice sandy beach , good for swimming and SuP when the wind is northerly

Beach Kolones in Kythnos is a hidden paradise that promises a unique and tranquil escape. The golden sands blend with the azure Aegean Sea, framed by rugged cliffs that enhance its exclusivity. The unspoiled charm of Beach Kolones offers a serene atmosphere, a welcome break from crowded tourist spots. Snorkeling reveals vibrant marine life. Prepare with essentials and embark on an unforgettable journey to this hidden gem. The addition of Kolona Experience Bar – Restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure. It's more than a restaurant – it's a celebration of taste, art, and innovation.

A beautiful special beach with clear water. Unfortunately, due to the closeness of Athens, there is a lot of boats here especially on the weekends. It can get very crowded. There is more pleasant beaches on the island close to this one, so you don’t necessarily need to stay where everybody is staying. On the north western shore there is a little side beach that has a volcanic thermal spring with clear 38° water just on the beach. It is almost hidden and you can only see it when you are walking on the beach.

A place of unreal beauty. For sailing enthusiasts, this is a great place. For many the beginning of long tours and for some safe place and excellent protection from all winds. We have been many times and every time we approach Kolona beach we feel the same charm from the beginning.

A true gem and one of the best experiences on the island! Dimitri has lovingly restored this small olive press museum, bringing his family's legacy back to life. His storytelling is engaging, funny, and moving, offering a fascinating insight into both olive oil production and his personal history. The museum’s small size adds to its charm, making for an intimate and memorable visit. Perfect for spending 1–2 hours, would highly recommend and we would return if we were ever to come back to Andros

This is something that should be considered as a unique experience. It's a story telling via personal experience about how family history comes together with olive oil and restoration of this ancient olive mill. It gives an extra apart that the owner tailors each tour. Size of the museum does not matter, you walk away with great knowledge and really personal touch which often nowadays is lacking. Check the opening times in advance.

What a fantastic museum this is! Dimitris is a wonderful guide, he is so passionate and knowledgeable. He gave us a splendid tour, we learned so much and it was so interesting and fun. Highly recommend!!!

This museum is very cute, interesting and personal. The owner runs the tours himself and he is very proud of what he had put together. You can learn a lot about olive oil and you get a feel for the central role it plays in the Greek (and Mediterranean) culture and the importance for its people. It is also interesting for (teenage) children.

Dimitri the owner of his family oil mill was terrific, lots of history and technical information about how things work. The 400 year old building is a very unique structure with architectural stone arches. No entry fee but donations accepted.

Fantastic tour. Dimitris is one of a kind. Beautiful information

I've visited this museum today and it's easily one of the best experiences I've had in a museum even though it's quite small. The owner and restorer, Dimitri, guides you around the mill and tells you about the history of olive oil and the procedure of making it. The coolest thing about it is that after he restored it himself after the mill being abandon in 1960, he and local farmers and his parents made olive oil there and he documented the whole thing for everybody to see. A very interesting museum even for people who normally aren't interested in olive oil. Definitely a recommended visit.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Pyrgos on the Cycladic island of Tinos, the Museum of Marble Crafts is an unexpected cultural treasure that offers a deep dive into one of Greece’s most celebrated artistic traditions: marble carving. Far from a typical museum experience, this place is a living homage to the craft that shaped both the island and significant parts of Greek architectural and artistic heritage. The museum, operated by the Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation, beautifully blends history, artistry, and hands-on education. It’s not just about looking at marble statues—though there are many fine examples—but about understanding the entire journey of marble: from the rugged quarries to the sculptor’s studio. The museum structure itself, designed to harmonize with the local architecture, is an ode to simplicity and elegance—just like the art it honors. Large windows open out to the landscape, where you can imagine ancient craftsmen at work in the nearby quarries. Whether you’re a lover of history, art, or just curious about how something as cold and hard as marble can become so full of life, the Museum of Marble Crafts is a real gem—a must-see on any visit to Tinos.

This was a really nice museum and doesn’t take long to view everything. I felt it was worth it and met this amazing lady who Pkays the lyre.

Very nice exhibition and very interesting. The location is very atmospheric. It was really worthy the visit passing by the village of Pyrgos. You can understand the history of the place and admire the beauty of sculpturing the marbles. I totally recommend to pay a visite passing by in order to admire the man’s craftsman’s.

So interesting with excellent videos and curation. Great to learn about the crafting of marble through the different phases of Greece’s history. After the museum be sure to explore the gorgeous town (3 minute walk away)

Great small museum with lots of detail and explanation of the marble industry and its history in Greece. Good descriptions in Greek and English. Worth the 4 euros ticket and 45 minutes or so to visit.

A lovely stop when exploring the island. Fun and informative for all ages

Such a nice museum. If you like marble and culture, you need to check this out. It’s a pretty small museum and to walk around will take you around 20-30 minutes maximum.

My mother waited 50 years to come here. Today we made her dream come true. An amazing place for Greek Orthodox Christians to visit once in their lifetimes. We saw a number of pilgrims entering the church on their knees - we were absolutely gobsmacked to realise they started this from the port nearly a kilometre away! Visiting again tomorrow.

Attracting thousands and thousands of people every year this church has been standing as the beacon of religion for many years among the believers. Truly an exceptional feeling visiting it, one that you definitely should not miss upon visiting the island. Many believers can be seen crossing the road on their knees moving uphill towards the church, an act of courage and importance among many, and one we should all admire!

A place that leaves a deep impression. The church is beautiful inside and out, with countless incense burners hanging from the ceiling that create a truly unique atmosphere. Even more moving is seeing the pilgrims making their way up from the port to the sanctuary on their knees, a powerful sign of devotion.

Second time in this church. The first time was 1 year ago when it had a big celebration with a lot of people lining up to get into the church, so I decided to skip. This time, on a normal Saturday afternoon, there was no line and quite quiet. Strolled around and just admired its peacefulness.

Amazing place and inspiring experience whether you are religious or not, this place and the effect it leaves on the faithful is both emotional and touching. Definitely a must-see while in Tinos.

This church is peaceful and absolutely wonderful. People are truly welcoming, the Holy icon is well presented . A nice place to be, to stay, to pray .

Lovely authentic pilgrimage church, complete with pilgrims. So Greek Orthodox. Really worth seeing.

Amazing rock beach with picturesque views. Snack bar and handicap ramp available. Take a dip in the cool water, and bask on the hot rocks afterwards it’s almost sauna like. If you’re feeling risky you can climb and jump off the rock afterwards you climb up the stairs past the first half of the beach. Amole parking available.

A very beautiful spot surrounded by striking black volcanic rocks. The sea here is deep, crystal-clear, and perfect for swimming. There’s a small facility where you can grab a beer, chips, or snacks, but many people also bring their own cooler. The beach is equipped with changing cabins and a shower tucked away by the wall. It’s also a great place for snorkeling if you enjoy exploring underwater. Just keep in mind that the beach is entirely rocky with pebbles, so water shoes are a must for both walking and swimming comfortably. Also for parking, there is street parking and some parking spaces tacked away on the way to the beach, in the afternoon it gets pretty crowded so keep that in mind when you start your journey to keep hassle free.

Very cute beach . Non organized but convenient . There is a little place that sells snacks and drinks on the side and very good restaurants all around . The water is crystal clear with black lava stones and the temperature is quite good compared to the other beaches . On the side u will find Fokis beach will offer nice spot to naturist at the far end

Very nice place with black volcanic rocks. The sea was very nice and clear. There’s one facility that you can buy beer, chips and toast. There are changing cabins on the beach but I didn’t notice any shower. It’s very nice beach for snorkeling also. You can go there in the afternoon and enjoy you drink :)

Unique beach with black stones! Make sure to go as early as possible and bring umbrella and water. As there is no such option around..

Has the best sun rise, great to swim at. Overall all a must see beach with its black pebbles.

It's a beautiful beach with black volcanic pebbles and crystal water. We went there in September during the week and it was not crowded at all. There is a small cafe there with drink and food.

Greek castles often challenge my traditional concept of what a castle should be — and this one is no exception. After passing through the main gate, you'll be surprised to find that inside are numerous houses, still full of life, preserved from that time. That surprise quickly turns into a moment of realization — of course! Castles were built to protect residents from outside invasions and threats. The streets within the castle walls are steeped in the atmosphere of time. If you sit down with a cup of rich hot chocolate at the small square — the “cultural” center of the place — you’ll feel as if you’ve become part of the flow of time yourself. The narrow, winding streets inside the castle form a maze, but it’s not easy to get lost. There’s a church with a tall bell tower that still stands, and nearby are excavated ruins. When the sunlight hits the walls of the houses, the shadows it casts look like murals. The streets are almost empty, with only the occasional group of tourists loudly voicing their opinions. But if you steer clear of them, you might just imagine yourself walking in another time. This is the most fascinating place on the island of Chios.

This castle…is confusing! The castle fortress is in ruins, and is essentially now occupied by an entire town. The best way to explore this is to walk the entire perimeter and find those random spots of the old castle, town walls, and the restored Turkish Hammam. We spent a few hours exploring the town and the ruins on foot, made for a fun little day in Chios town. The north perimeter facing the sea was a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the ocean…with a 40 foot drop straight down that made me anxious!

1 hour for tour, 2 hours in cafe. Fine

There's not a ton to see here. Some old walls, an old bathhouse and various other ruins. There are a couple of cute cafes and restaurants inside.

A very nice experience in the castle. From the outside, it is absolutely beautiful and inside there are some restaurants you can try. Worthy of visit.

It's a beautiful place for chilling with a friend. There is plenty places to sit. Also u can take photos here.

Chios Castle area is full of beautiful places to see. The atmosphere is unique and people are very warm and friendly. We especially loved the restaurant with cats — it was a wonderful experience!

As many other beaches we have experienced in Turkey, also this one is full of garbage. It's quite disgusting, and a pity. There seems to be no municipal cleaning service and people are uncivilised too. The beach itself could be gorgeous, long shore, shallow water.

This beach is undoubtedly one of the best beaches we have ever visited. Its pristine, golden-white sands and mesmerizing turquoise waters create a postcard-perfect scene. The beach is impeccably clean and offers a tranquil escape with complimentary sun loungers. Our kids were in absolute heaven. A must-visit!

Pristine white sand, family friendly, shower and toilet facilities. Fish are visible in the water. Amazing beach

The water is a bit cluttered with different debris like plastic waste and parts of algae, especially while entering the water, water’s edge But then if you go deeper, it’s cleaner The beach is quite spacious, there are few toilet facilities (quite smelly truth to be told) Sand is kinda clean

This is a difficult one, the beach in so many ways is superb. It long, sandy, shallow, the water even in late September is warm enough for swimming comfortably BUT.... Maybe it's because it's the end of the season but the beach is covered in rubbish, I mean cigarette buts, bottle caps, plastic of all sorts, I mean just so much. Ok you might say well lots of beaches have bits of rubbish on them these days but thus is the main tourist beach that is so long and wide it could easily have a tractor go up and down at night with one of those rubbish filter / trailers behind it. Such a shame.

Beautiful and clean public beach. Lots of space to find a good spot. Water is so clear and even end of September still OK temperature wise. There are cabins where you can change and even open showers to wash off the sand. Toilets are there but might be hard to look at... Nevertheless for a public and free beach extremely pleasant.

Stunning beach. Very clean. Water is warm and flat. Did plenty of swimming here in summer. A must visit.

Fun hike and experience past the river and waterfalls. Not an easy path as you cross over multiple surfaces, so it is a good challenge. Make sure to wear swimming clothes if you want to make it to the final waterfall. Best to park near the beach.

⸻ If you’re in Samos, this is an absolute must-visit! If you love adventure, water, and waterfalls, this place is perfect for you. It was truly an amazing experience. There’s no rope at the first crossing, but the second part has a rope to help you pass. Alternatively, you can use the ladder to get to the other side — it’s definitely the easier option. The water was beautiful — not freezing cold, just refreshing enough. One of the most stunning waterfalls I’ve ever seen in my life. Highly recommended!

Very nice walk. Bring your swimsuit if you want to see the first waterfall. At the restaurant, feel free to ask if you can see the food, the cook will be delighted to show you.

Nice, interesting place to visit. There is a lot of green trees and bush, calm river and rest from sun. First of all: you need waterproof bag, shoes for water and rocks and good condition. To reach first waterfall it’s sth around 15-20 minutes of walk, then you have to swim sth around one minute in cold water and you’ll see first of them. Nothing complicated, but still: you have to swim and don’t be afraid about rocks. Too see another ones, you need go by stairs (they are pretty scary) and then reaching taverna, go down also by stairs and steep hillside. On the right there is second waterfall (you have to go through the river). On the left, you have to go sth around 20 minutes in the river bed - a lot of slippy rocks. Be careful! It’s not for people who are not physically active. Although, still worth to see it.

Beautiful place. getting to the falls requires some wading and occasional short swims in cold water. Don't leave your expensive Salomon walking shoes at the start though as someone will steal them while leaving cheaper trainers and other stuff 🤬

Quite cool place but water cold as ice, even in July. Water shoes are necessary, just like swimming ability cause in one place in deeper, without feeling ground.

Bring good water shoes not flipflops. A wetbag to put your belongings (phone, water, a fruit), swimwear and strong knees and hands ;)To get to the "first part" of The waterfall you need to go up the wooden stairs (5min climb) then you go down on the side of the restaurant. Enjoy the adventure, take you time don't rush it. "Second part" we couldn't get there cause we weren't stong enough to pull ourselves up the rope. I wish I was cause I enjoyed that part we did do.

The most beautiful island, if you like Greece it's a place you must go, still very authentic, lots of beautiful beaches, churches, historic places to visit, if you don't go you will never understand the peace it brings to the soul.

The pleasant atmosphere of the island sets you up for rest. There are places for quiet relaxation and fun, noisy recreation. A large selection of taverns and souvenirs. But the cats here are not fed or given water either How to change this???

I visit the island every year! It is a big island with lovely places full of restaurants and coffee! The beaches are lovely and you can still find beaches that don't charge the umbrella and the sunbeds on top of your order! Pythagoreio, Marathokabos, Kokkari, and psili Ammos are a few of the places you can visit!

While being over in Turkey we done the day visit to the Greek island Samos. We had a really nice day over on the island and would recommend going if you've got the chance. It's absolutely beautiful! The only thing I would say is make sure you know what you want to do before going and possibly think about hiring a motorbike or car for the day as some of the main attractions are more inland of the island. We visited a lovely little pizza restaurant just along down from the main square of the marina which I would also highly recommend, really reasonable priced and amazing food!

Very nice island. In September the water was too cold to really swim or dive, but the people are very nice and the prices are only high in Pythagoreo and Kampos, everywhere else it's pretty cheap. The highlight of the island is the village Manolates there you can also find the only museum of the island. You need a car to explore the island. Its big enough to keep you occupied for a couple of weeks, but nearly all churches are closed or in disrepair. Honest review: Its totally worth a visit and has its own charme, but don't expect too much.

Wonderful place. The locals are really friendly and the island is great for hiking. It has a bit more foliage than some of the smaller islands which makes for great shade when the sun's burning. There are a lot of affordable places to eat and quite some nice hotels (I stayed at Villa Maria). You can get around the island by car or bus (or walking but that takes a bit long if all you need are some tomatoes for dinner). If you intend to use the bus often, which is what I did, make sure to inquire about departure times with locals, as this appears to change often. *Sidenote: I added a photo of the bus schedule as for april 2022.

Big surprise! Green island with beautiful beaches and warm, crystal clear sea and a few attraction. For active people I highly recommend hiking to Seitani beach and swimming in potami waterfalls, for lazy days Livadaki beach is a must, you won’t be bored. The people are super friendly, kind and talkative. Food tasty and affordable. I would say the west side prefer meat, in the East sea food is more common. There is no clubs. A lot of elderly tourists mainly from Germany. The city of Samos and Karlovasi looks like abandoned with its damaged buildings in other hand Pitagorio is absolutely lovely. Rent a car is a need. Take your swimming shoes but can forget snorkling. Temperature in October still warm 23-28°, evenings are chill and windy. Overall It is nice place to visit and rest.

A lovely beach with deep-sea walks. Since it's in a cove, there are a few waves and a fair amount of wind, but this is very pleasant on hot days. You can lie down for free on the unreserved sunbeds, though you are expected to order at least one drink. However, we spent €40 eating and drinking here and spent half the day relaxing. There are also three canoes available for free use...in a word, fantastic. At the end of the paved road you drive 4km on a sandy path, but don't worry, it is very passable.

Wonderfull beach!! Very comfortable! We had a very pleasant time. Beds and beach chairs for free, drinks for very affordable prices. A little bit difficult to reach but certainly worth seeing. We ll certainly come again

Don't be put off by the sandy road to get there, it is easy to drive on and the beach is absolutely worth it! The sea is incredibly calm and shallow for a long way out. What really makes this spot stand out is the fantastic variety of seating. They have sun loungers, daybeds, bean bags and tables, all free to use if you buy a drink or a snack (at reasonable prices). The staff is super friendly and not pushy at all. You can also use the kayaks for free, and there are clean toilets and a changing room. We visited at the end of September and it was wonderfully quiet with plenty of space.

It was a very nice beach, food (especially the beef burger) and drinks have arrived fast and they were tasty. I suggest wearing a sea shoe because there re pebbles on the ground and inside water as well, almost no sand near the water. Beach itself is kinda popular so u may want to arrive early in the morning and get a seat, or else if u end up arriving around 10-12 in the morning u will have to wait around an hour or more just to get a sunbed.

Great view, food and service. We got to meet the owner Yanis and what a fantastic guy who's owned this place for over 20 years. A little bumpy gravel road to get there, but we were in a small rental car, took it easy and had zero issues getting in and out.

For me, it was simply perfect! You don’t have to pay extra for a sunbed; there’s just a total spending limit of €15, which is very reasonable. The service is quick, the staff are super friendly, and they bring everything right to your table. The sea is a bit rocky at the entrance, but then it turns into sand and isn’t too deep. The water is crystal clear and clean — swimming here was such a pleasure. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. We were really impressed and would definitely love to come back!

Another must visit when touring across Samos! Ok, being honest…the road to reach this very nice location is maybe not what you expect or feel comfortable with….but it is worth it. An “Ibiza style” atmosphere with plenty of sunbeds, all free including free WiFi. The menu is very diverse and prices are reasonable. A perfect spot for a relaxing stop or day at the beach

It is a good place to have fun, especially if you have children. There are also many slides for adults. The ticket price includes food and drinks. However, we could not eat it. Everything was not tasty. Even the pasta was not cooked properly. The sausages were disgusting and seemed to be made of paper. The burger was also not tasty. You will have fun on the slides, but you will remain hungry.

The location and the sea are wonderful, and there are many enjoyable water slides. However, I am a bit concerned about the safety aspects. The metal platforms and stairs appear rusty, and the columns do not inspire confidence. I believe it would be beneficial to have a third party conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything is in proper order. Regarding the inclusive lunch, while the concept is appreciated, the food is basic, and the quality is not particularly appealing, making it more of a necessity than a culinary delight.

Except for its price of ₺645 ($25), food and facilities were good enough. I'd recommend.

We visited last year. Cheap, nice but crowded and the food is not great.

Have really good water slides and very safe there are too many lifeguards. But there are many queues. And foods is not good. The prices cannot be said to be fair.

Good location and good premises for aqua park in the area. Friendly staff.

A very nice water park. A large selection of slides and attractions, both for children and adults. The water park itself is clean. The waiting time to enter the slides is quite short, especially when compared to other water parks. Lockers are available on site. There is a snack bar in the aquapark and juice dispensers. I don't know the price of the entrance, because we had them for free as part of our stay, but being there, it's definitely worth a visit with the kids.
