A must visit when visiting the peloponnese, has so much history and great things too see. I went because my wife is really into old things but as a neutral I found the place fascinating with information boards all around the site telling you what each rock was and what it was for. The tickets are well priced for what's included and will take up 3 hours or more of your day. There's also plenty of shaded areas as it does get hot in the sun.

Splendid! Such a beautiful place. The ancient site is very impressive and the museum is worth visiting. Arrive early to avoid the crowd(the tourist and school buses starts rolling in around 11am) and allow yourself a couple of hours as it is big. Entry is €20 per person, but every 1st Sunday of the month is free! 😉

Very interesting to see, where the Olympics originated (both the historical site itself as the two museums) One about the history of the site, the other one about the history of the (old) Olympic Games. With one ticket you can visit all three locations. It is a walkable distance from each other. As for the archaeological site... amazing!!!

this is a massive area of archeological exploration. it is the home of the worlds first stadium dedicated to athletic competition. the start line is still there. it boasts large training areas, roman baths and temples. the area is relatively flat and easy to negotiate. this multiple acre dig really gives the visitor a feeling of what their lives were like. the museum has an amazing number of relics from the grounds. this is apparently the site of the olympic games. our guide the importance of these games in opening the doors to peace.

Amazing to walk through so much history - having a guide to explain the finer details was extremely helpful. The size of the site & all of the various buildings across Greek & Roman history was fascinating. Worth the bus trip.

We spent hours here. It's absolutely amazing. We first came on the August full moon but due to local fires it was closed. We spent 3-4 hours in the 2 museums and we had about an our in the archaeological site, we could have done with at least another 30 minutes at least. It really is impressive and a must for visiting. The ticket for the 2 museums and site costs 20 euro per person. Children were free. You can purchase your tickets at all 3 places and where ever you buy it that's where you have to enter first.

Wow first time here . Wasn't that busy we had 2 hours to walk around where the first Olympics were held. A lot of bits and pieces marble. The museum was cool alot of artifacts and info.

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.

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.

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.

The Corinth Canal is a truly spectacular sight, and it's much more than just a waterway. Standing on the bridge, you get a powerful sense of the history and the immense engineering effort it took to carve this narrow, deep channel through solid rock. The sheer cliffs on either side are breathtaking, and watching a ship navigate this incredibly tight passage is a unique and thrilling experience. It's a must-do for anyone traveling through Greece, offering both a stunning natural view and a fascinating glimpse into human ingenuity.

Nice place to stop by! Such a deep and narrow cuts which separates the Peloponnese peninsula from the Greek mainland. With a nice history behind ofcourse. Only the view from the bridge is stunning. I wanted to try bungee jumping here but it was closed 😩 Still, totally worth the visit!

We visited the Corinth Canal and were absolutely amazed by its breathtaking views — it’s a must-see both for its visual impact and historical significance. Standing on the bridge and looking down into the narrow, deep waterway is truly unforgettable. There are several nearby restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy a meal or a drink at relatively reasonable prices. It’s a great spot to take a break, enjoy the scenery, and soak in the atmosphere. For thrill-seekers, there’s also the opportunity to go bungee jumping right over the canal. At around €100 per person, it’s definitely on the pricier side, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that adds a real adrenaline rush to your visit. Parking was easy and the area felt tourist-friendly. I’d highly recommend stopping here if you’re passing through the region — even a short visit is worth it!

The Corinth Canal is a fascinating sight. Typically, tour buses heading to the Peloponnese start there for a rest break and spend a few minutes seeing the canal. The ancient Greeks and Romans dreamed of building a canal here, but lack the technical ability. It was completed in the late 1800s using steam equipment. If you are able, suggest driving to the Diolkos. This was the ancient road that ran across the isthmus, mainly to transfer goods and on rare occasions ships.

This canal is impressive, but it’s a short 5-minute visit. Don’t expect much to do here; there’s nothing to see or do.

You can't imagine how much I love Corinth canal, it looks unreal. I was many times here and always is amazing. I can stand on the bridge all day long. Don't miss this beauty.

Absolutely amazing! Stunning views. We stopped here while travelling through Greece. There was plenty of parking and also many restraunts, shops, cafés and beaches nearby. Would definitely recommend going to see and experience for yourself.

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.

Really incredible visit. The views are top notch and the entire site is exquisite to visit and learn about. We were nervous about the time to drive up from Athens, but we hired a driver for the day and it was worth every bit of the cost. Not only a driver, but guiding us along the drive and pointing us in the right direction once at the site. Worth doing, don’t drive yourself and I’d avoid the massive tour buses. Very much worth a visit all around. Do the site first and museum second. Bring water and be prepared for hills.

Wonderful museum and archeological site closed to the modern village of Delphi. The museum has wonderful artifacts but is not overpoweringly large. There is a good flow through the development of Delphi as a sacred site and it's demise before being restored by the Romans. The archilogical site is deceptively large, winding a long way up the mountainside. Allow at least 90 minutes to see the whole site. Cafe at museum ticket office serves good coffee and sandwiches. The shop is a bit twee but has some interesting items. Main downside of the site is the toilets. There is nowhere near enough for the volume of visitors and the inevitable queues and lack of cleanliness are quite offputiing. Much better to take the short walk into a taverna in the village, and probably as quick

Delphi was absolutely breathtaking — one of the highlights of my trip to Greece. The combination of stunning mountain views, ancient ruins, and peaceful atmosphere makes it a truly special place. Walking through the archaeological site, you can really feel the history and imagine what it must have been like thousands of years ago. The Temple of Apollo, the ancient theater, and the stadium are incredible to see up close, and the museum adds great context with beautifully preserved artifacts. Everything is well organized and easy to explore, and the scenery surrounding the site is simply majestic — it feels almost spiritual.

We visited ancient site first due to rain, but recommend museum first. Great exhibits. Do not miss an allow at least 2 hours. Came later in the day and seemed ho be thinning out. Lots if tourist busses. Also was able to park on street close to museum for free. Lots of great artifacts and pieces of history.

Lots to see, varying degrees of difficulty great for individuals with wide range of physical capabilities, and must have a good knowledgeable guide to bring the site to life. Little known fact, a landslide in the last few years has made the area around and access to the Athena temple a restricted no entry area. However, there are plenty of amazing views and spaces to rest in the shade that allows you to soak it all up.

Delphi and the museum are just wonderful. There really is something special about the site and the museum is concise and has great information about the history of the area and more. Definitely worth the visit! My only drawback was the very expensive cafe at the museum - I bought a half a tiny pizza that was tasty but somewhat dry and far, far too costly.

It was a long drive from Athens but it was worth it. If you have time, it's definitely worth seeing there. The same ticket works both for the Museum a d the Archeological Site. Beautiful history and well preserved statues. Highly recommended 👌🏼

A must visit when visiting the peloponnese, has so much history and great things too see. I went because my wife is really into old things but as a neutral I found the place fascinating with information boards all around the site telling you what each rock was and what it was for. The tickets are well priced for what's included and will take up 3 hours or more of your day. There's also plenty of shaded areas as it does get hot in the sun.

Splendid! Such a beautiful place. The ancient site is very impressive and the museum is worth visiting. Arrive early to avoid the crowd(the tourist and school buses starts rolling in around 11am) and allow yourself a couple of hours as it is big. Entry is €20 per person, but every 1st Sunday of the month is free! 😉

Very interesting to see, where the Olympics originated (both the historical site itself as the two museums) One about the history of the site, the other one about the history of the (old) Olympic Games. With one ticket you can visit all three locations. It is a walkable distance from each other. As for the archaeological site... amazing!!!

this is a massive area of archeological exploration. it is the home of the worlds first stadium dedicated to athletic competition. the start line is still there. it boasts large training areas, roman baths and temples. the area is relatively flat and easy to negotiate. this multiple acre dig really gives the visitor a feeling of what their lives were like. the museum has an amazing number of relics from the grounds. this is apparently the site of the olympic games. our guide the importance of these games in opening the doors to peace.

Amazing to walk through so much history - having a guide to explain the finer details was extremely helpful. The size of the site & all of the various buildings across Greek & Roman history was fascinating. Worth the bus trip.

We spent hours here. It's absolutely amazing. We first came on the August full moon but due to local fires it was closed. We spent 3-4 hours in the 2 museums and we had about an our in the archaeological site, we could have done with at least another 30 minutes at least. It really is impressive and a must for visiting. The ticket for the 2 museums and site costs 20 euro per person. Children were free. You can purchase your tickets at all 3 places and where ever you buy it that's where you have to enter first.

Wow first time here . Wasn't that busy we had 2 hours to walk around where the first Olympics were held. A lot of bits and pieces marble. The museum was cool alot of artifacts and info.

Visited during the weekday; lots of buses with tourists from cruises. I recommend coming after 12pm as the groups left and also as it gets hotter outside you get a cool room to walk. The displays are typically well presented and annotated with brief useful descriptions.

Great collection, wonderfully displayed, excellent facilities. One can only begin to imagine the sheer volume of wealth, artifacts and other objects of artistic and material value that used to be here, the penultimate location of reverence in all the ancient Greek world. All the way through the Archaic, the Classical and the Hellenistic Period, which add up to more than half a millenia, the Hellenes accumulated offerings to Zeus, Hera and many other Gods in this holiest of locations. Even after eons of plundering, this site has offered us all these magnificent exhibits. Enjoy them!

Definitely worth a visit. We stayed at villa kriton so if you are still looking for a place I can recommend that. Free if you are under 25 and EU member. We didn’t buy the tickets before hand and just bought them at the museum. We recommend going a little later 5pm was perfect for us almost now people at the sight and the temperature was fine.

One of the most historically significant places in the world. If your into mythology or the Olympics or maybe just a history buff this is the place for you. Together with the site of old Olympia this stop is simply amazing. Much more still exists than I ever imagined after almost 3000 years. Highly recommended.

Part of archaeological site of olympia beautiful place. Shame a lot have been looted years ago. Would have been great if there was an audio devices to explain as its very difficult to get near some and read the information when someone parked in front of the object. I found more QR codes would have been useful to read it latter. Worth visit even if a lot of objects have been looted over the years of excavations. French, German archaeologist.

Learned a great amount of history about the origin of the Olympics. Had a tour guide and highly recommend using one or all you will be seeing are a bunch of ruins. The stories behind the ruins are needed. Also, was treated to a Greek lunch and entertaing dancing.

It’s a very beautiful modern building. The moment you enter you can tell that the exhibition is well organised. It’s a lot to look at but occasionally there are paragraphs on the wall about the time the artefacts are from. The translations are in Greek, English and German. It’s very educational and if you‘re visiting the archeological site the museum is a must! For example: The Nike statue. It stood in front of the Zeus temple and is now a part of the museum. It definitely is worth the experience and even if you‘re not a fan of history there’s just generally a lot to look at and it’s quite beautiful. I would recommend going at around 11 am because later in the day there‘ll be more visitors but I couldn’t complain.

A breathtaking place. The initial construct is an architectural marvel built within a spectacular natural setting. Believer or not, you will enjoy this place. The magnificent natural environment on the route adds to the experience. The narrow roads require caution, especially to inexperienced drivers.

It s always a treat to visit this monastery and chapel. Everything is so meticulous. There was a bit of rain so took umbrellas to walk the 300 meters from the parking lot. It was quiet which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the church. Enjoyed the bread samples and the Turkish Delight which they offer. This is the third time web have visited.

The Monastery of Proussos was named from the Icon of Panagia Prousiotissa from Proussa in Minor Asia. It is a historic building that has kept expanding due to donations. The location is impressive and it can get very busy as buses arrive from all over the world to visit this. We loved the old clock and the oldest part of the monastery. One star less as it looked more like a business modern monastery that does not fit with the older part of the church. Still architectonically it is beautiful and you should definitely visit it.

Beautiful monastry with a very old and small church with the ancient icon of The Holy Mother. A bit crowdy and hard to reach but very rewarding if you do the effort to come there.

Α very beautiful monastery surrounded by a majestic natural environment.

Apart from the monastery and the intriguing history of its namesake, Panaghia Prousiotissa (an icon of the Virgin Mary that originated in Proussa, Asia Minor), the surrounding area is gorgeous. Below the curvy road that leads to the monastery and cut into the mountainside, lies a river with turquoise waters that can be viewed throughout the drive. There are also interesting stops along the way -- like the "Virgin's footsteps." The monastery is just 35 kilometers from Karpenissi, a winter haven for snow skiing, as well as all-season hiking and exploring. Overall a must-do excursion.

Very beautiful monastery in a special location. It's amazing the feeling you get when you get there and face it. We enjoyed the view, we learned the history of the monastery from a monk who wanted to explain it to us. Information: Better not to bother the monks unless they show you they are available. Some are there to get away from other people and get closer to god through prayer.

Very nice and climatic place. You need to walk around 10-15 minutes to reach the place from the parking place. There is a lot of people be aware. I had a plan to get into the water while being there, but when I reached the destination I decided not too. The waterfall is too small (not enough rain) and water is simply dirty as there is not enough to run fast.

Depending on the season, you should expect to see different views and experiences. When I visited the cascade in summer, there was little to no water flow. However, the 10-minute walk through the gorge to reach the cascade was still very pleasant and absolutely worthwhile. Swimming is still possible, although the water is quite cold. At the entrance of the gorge, there’s a lovely café shaded by a huge plane tree, which I highly recommend for relaxing after the short trek. When you visit come with seaside shoes or sport shoes. Small kids can reach with some assistance from the parents. Parking is available near the café, but spots are limited. Depending on the time of day and season, finding a space can range from easy to a bit challenging—so plan accordingly.

It was a great experience overall and everything there was really nice. However, reaching the top was quite challenging—there were no clear visual paths, some rocks were falling from above, and of course, the little water that was there was freezing cold. Still, if you’ve got the stamina to make it, I definitely recommend visiting this place 100%!

The day that we visited the waterfalls didn’t have the chance to see the beauty that have been described about ( first week of August) due to lack of rain in the past few months, but the path that you have to follow to get there is wonderful. Almost fully covered with great shadows of the surrounding trees is recommended through the hot day hours. There is a wonderful coffee-bar that serves local refreshments, small snacks coffees and more , as well as a small shop with local products ( honey , marmalade and small gifts for loved ones!!!)

A short easy hike but be careful what time of year you will choose to visit as in the summer the waterfall might be completely dry.

A beautiful hike.. but don’t go in August, as you willl have to leave it to your imagination. No water..

For an experience is ok, but there is a poor waterfall.. but again for experience going there is worth for view

A very nice beach. The water was very nice and warm. Parking was free on the side of the road and there was plenty of space for public or private beach. It is worth a visit here.

Incredible beach with all shades of blue color water of the sea. Waves are large and increasing with each hour until evening. There are restaurants, wc, parking and shower , umbrella and beds. We took parking under cower with two beds and umbrella 15 euro all. On the beach there is savior. On the sea must be careful, beach It starts with sand - finely ground pebbles, and then large stones in the water. You must go to the water without everything- sunglasses, shoes , hat, because everything will change and you won't notice . On this beach you do not need swimming mask . Magnificent picture all around there. The horizon is incredibleand so endless.

A Slice of Heaven on Earth A place that feels like it’s straight out of heaven, where the crystal-clear, clean water refreshes your senses, and the beach welcomes you with a cozy beach bar and a few charming restaurants. The atmosphere is relaxed, full of good vibes and elegance. It’s the kind of experience you simply can’t miss if you’re looking for an unforgettable escape.

Beautiful beach, but very crowded in the season. There is almost always wind and waves, so you can forget about the heat. This beach is not for non-swimmers and small children. It is recommended to try paragliding.

Most easiest access to the beach with all comforts when you choose between Egremni, Porto Katsiki and Katishma. Also includes beach clubs, restaurants and different activities 😊

Kathisma is one of the most beautiful beaches on Lefkada and definitely worth visiting. The beach is long and wide, with plenty of space to find a good spot. Sunbeds are around 20€ for the ordinary ones, or 25€ for the wooden set with parking included, which is very convenient since parking can get busy in high season. The beach itself has small smooth pebbles instead of sand, which makes the water crystal clear. After just a few steps it gets deeper, so be careful if you’re not a strong swimmer. The waves are usually big and fun, great for people who enjoy a bit of adventure in the sea. There are also water sports available for those looking for more activities. Restaurants and bars are located right by the beach, offering food and drinks throughout the day. Overall, it’s a lively beach with good facilities, beautiful scenery, and a bit of everything – relaxation, fun, and comfort.

Sky blue waters, The water was murky and the mask didn't work. The beach was fine sand and for some like me it is not comfortable. You can bring your own umbrella or you can pay sunbeds. There was a lot of free parking but also private parking 5€/day. You need to get up early 9-9.30am to be at the place if you are looking for free :) The locals told me that you have to be carefoul when its windy and there are bid waves bcs some people has lost their lives! Meanwhile you can do paragliding there. Bars and restaurants was close by.

Very nice. Guided tour. Takes POS. Cannot take photos or videos inside but all is on the website. One man’s passion for Greece turned into something amazing. Some of them look so real.

This is a MUST for anyone visiting the area of Epirus! Do not miss to make this stop at a place made by the hand of an artist! The entire structure with the stone corridors and the wax sculptures is a unique resemblance of the Greek 19th and early 20th century! You will feel awe and inspiration alongside with admiration for the vision and the creation of the artist … DO NOT MISS IT !!! PS. No photos provided because this is forbidden but you may find plenty in the museum url

Very informative tour and guide. He really knew a lot of facts to tell us about everything and every period shown in the museum. And even knew some historical facts about the First World War in Greece. I really learned a lot from him about Greek history which I didn't knew yet.

It's definitely worth your while. The surroundings are like you're in a cave. Attention is paid to every detail, even weed growing between stones!

Top recommendation for historical museum lovers it is a MUST visit for families kids and adults

One of the most beautiful museums - the wax statues are so detailed you feel they are alive.set in different periods they show scenes of the most significant events in the Greek history. The building inside is cleverly designed - you go through dark corridors and see the statues behind windows in various scenes. The last part is the artist's selection of various events . No photos or videos are allowed. Don't miss it!

The personages seems not so "real" and if you are "claustrophobic " its not a good idea to go here you are in the dark and it's cold and some personages move her eyes to look at you ... you don't feel so relax and you can not take photography and if you take the security gonna follow you on your back until the end like you have killed someone or like you have do the one abominable think it's stupid and crazy because in England you have the same thing and better with all the cinema star and you can take photos and touch the personages and it's seems more real it's stupid !

Beautifull place with nice water and rocks! In the beginning it’s really cold but if u mostly be in the water it will be less bad. Definitely reccomend!!!

An impressive place, definitely worth visiting and a person to experience their own adventure. You need aqua shoes because the water is quite cold, as well as a dry bag for luggage, they are sold in the parking lot. In places the water is deep, but everyone can explore as far as they want. They offer a variety of adventures, horseback riding, kayaks and boats on the river.

Lovely place with stunning, picturesque sites, definitely worth visiting. But the river is freezingly cold, literally could not keep my feet in it for more than ten seconds. Rafting is a must and we chose the first one to offer us this, at the very beginning of the tourist site. All in all, really well-organized, and definitely we will come again some day, just fully- equipped next time, to be able to explore more of the canyon.

The best excretion in the area... One of the best rivers to walk and swim in Greece... Really worth the visit and try some of the activities in the river like horse riding, zip line, cayak etc.... Highly highly recommended really impressed with the area...suitable for all ages from very young children

"Are you far from the river?". Our trip to the River Acheron was the highlight of our recent holiday in Parga. It is a truly extraordinary experience which I will never forget. The water is refreshingly cold and it gets so deep at points at the Gorge that you may have to swim. There is also rafting, kayaking and horse riding. There are plenty of places to eat in Acheron, beautiful open-air stores and bathroom facilities.

Life changing experience. Be prepared for cold swims and a bit of climbing. Bring swimming shoes though, or buy some before entering! Truly an incredible experience that everyone should go through at least once in their life.

Beautiful place not to be missed if you’re nearby

Visited this beautiful castle with my fiance, to watch the sun set over Saranda, it didn't disappoint absolutely stunning, enjoyed a glass of wine which I topped up with lemon soda. Perfect end to our holiday to Albania. We didn't eat here this time as we had already eaten but the pizzas looked lovely so we will be sure to try them on our next visit.

Perched atop the hills overlooking Saranda, Lekursi Castle offered one of the most spectacular views I’ve ever experienced. From up there, I could see the sparkling Ionian Sea, the city below, and the surrounding islands, all creating a breathtaking panorama that felt almost magical. Exploring the castle ruins, I was fascinated by the history and the stories these walls must hold. The on-site café made it easy to relax while taking in the scenery, adding to the charm of the visit. Lekursi Castle wasn’t just a historic site—it was a stunning viewpoint and a truly unforgettable highlight of my trip.

Beautiful venue at the top of a mountain with the most fantastic view of the sunset. Generally everything was lovely, we all had good food, if slightly expensive compared to everywhere else …except I became unwell overnight from what I suspect was bad seafood pasta. It was probably only one seafood bit, as my reaction wasn’t too violent nor immediate, but it got me overnight and I was down for the next 2 days.

Beautiful views from the lower balconies – definitely the highlight of this place. The restaurant itself is not halal and the food is overpriced, but you’re really paying for the location and scenery. I’d recommend arriving at least 1 hour before sunset (2 hours if you want the best seats) to secure a good spot. Drinks are also on the expensive side. We had a margarita pizza and a few drinks before heading elsewhere for dinner. Overall, the views are absolutely amazing and worth experiencing at least once- but save yourself for dinner elsewhere.

I ate dinner at a castle with a pink sunset! This castle wasn’t what you would expect to be as a castle. It’s more of an outdoor venue for dining, concerts and performances. You can’t vest the view! The service here was impeccable. The food delicious, the wine even better. Parking is hard to find. We took a taxi up there. If you plan to take the bus, that looked a little shady.

We went there for the view, it was amazing, worth visiting. We could admire the walls of the castle, but there is a restaurant inside and it affects the original look. The restaurant itself looked nice, but we haven't eaten anything there. The castle is accessible by car until the gates

A place to meet the sunset in romantic atmosphere! Food for all tastes. If you one a bit luxury dinner its there and a bit further there is also a pizza place, but still with the same beautiful view. As also you can get only drinks, and still enjoy the sunset!

Gjirokastër Castle is definitely a must-visit if you're in southern Albania. It’s a place filled with history, with a dark and somber atmosphere — especially with so many old prison cells spread throughout. The entrance is paid, but unfortunately, the site could use better maintenance and preservation efforts. There's a lot of dust and loose soil around, and since the castle is exposed to the wind, it can get quite dusty and uncomfortable for visitors. Still, it's a powerful and historical site that’s worth seeing, just be prepared for the conditions.

Incredible experience! You get free range to wander through the entire castle. We spend well over two hours walking around and exploring the castle. There is a second museum within the castle that cost extra to go into. I would recommend paying to go in, it was very informative.

We bought the tickets online, so we skipped the huge line at the entrance. The castle is incredible, make sure to go with enough time to explore everything calmly. It has a beautiful view and a fascinating history. Definitely worth a visit!

The view is stunning, you can see the whole city from above. There are some interesting areas and hidden paths to discover. Even on a busy day, there is plenty of space to move around, they also have toilets inside.

Personally loved this place, amazing views and quite striking thinking about all the 1500+ history and the effort that was put into building it over the time. Went through so many changes and has some haunting stories of the past both recent and historic. Recommended if you’re in the city and looking for something to see and absorb

This is a well-preserved historic site that tells the story of its past. The fortress has a long and eventful history, with many key moments mentioned right at the entrance. It's a great stop to make on your way to the seaside.

Impressive and well-preserved castle with stunning views over Gjirokastër and the surrounding valley. Entry is 400 lek, with an extra fee if you want to visit the museum inside. You can explore the old prison, see a U.S. military plane, and walk along the massive stone walls. Some signs could offer more context, but overall it’s a must-see when in town!

It's a worthwhile visit with a guide waiting at the entrance of cave to provide detailed history of this cave. Just spots in the cave is narrower and low. Just need to be careful and not touch :)

A beautiful spot for a quick dip. The swimming pool is a great option but you will need to buy your ticket.

The longest grote in the region, 150m. A shelter for humans since mamouth times, according to the local guide. Partly inaccessible to the public because of 2 endemic species, protected.

Worth visiting. A few reminders - buy tickets at the Grotte entrance(not where cars are blocked off). Check time schedule for tours in advance! For example, the English tour is offered at 11am and 4pm. You can’t just go in anytime. We had to make two trip to see it

It is an Interesting cave and is a very important one too.

Visit is relatively short, but worth it! Amazing place! Stories provided by guides are interesting, covering facts and folklore.

This is one of our summer finds this 2023.The visit last 30 minutes max. Entrance fee is 6€-adult and 3€-child. The young ladies are courteous and efficient,tour guide will explain the details/information if needed. Spectacular view and amazing water.Kids will love the cave. It is worth the visit.

Super sandy beach on the Puglia coast with crystal clear waters. There is a walk into it, but you can avail of the shuttle and parking for €10. There is another carpark for €5 but without the shuttle. We actually walked out as there was a large crowd coming out at the time. Beautiful beach, with small cliffs to provide shade. Our kids loved it.

Just excellent. Clear water, beautiful colours, fine powdery soft sand. Better than most beaches on this side of Puglia.

▶️ Beautiful and clean beach. Parking nearby for only 5€ If you're interested in history there is a lot to read about the Turkish invasion 🙄

Amazing view, very quiet beach with more local people, maybe because the season in September. Easy parking.

Beautiful beach, but parking and getting down to the beach is not that easy.

Crystal clear water with incredible fine white sand. We arrived around lunch time and still managed to find some space on the free beach. Bring sandwiches and water to avoid the constant queue at the only small bar. Plenty of parking with free shuttle near the beach, park in "Da Marco" €5.00 for the whole day 10 minutes walk from the beach. Bring time and peace, to relax, one of the most beautiful beaches in Puglia on the Adriatic coast.

beautiful beach and crystal clear water, the sand under your feet in the water feels heavenly, really!!! we are 8 billion people (almost 9) on this planet, and i think 6 billion of them were at the beach with us today. way too busy, the water wasn’t that busy though. beach clears up at around 18. would still recommend going. the walk is a bit far but it’s a nice one

The place is a paradise but is covered in cigarettes stubs and rubbish. We collected a 70L bags of rubbish in 20minutes. Sad and enraging.

The local restaurant explore the visitors. If you want to stay on the sand you have to pay a lot of money for umbrellas leaving no option. They took all the sand area over leaving a tiny bit outside for free. Ridiculous Exploitation,exploitation and exploitation

Awful business. You'll have to pay 6€ for the parking. Then 30€ for two beds. And you'll all be parked like pigs in a farm. Please avoid going there at all cost, they don't deserve your money and the beach should belong to everybody and be public. Period.

Prices too high for everything. Two uncomfortable beds and umbrella 40 €, very close to each other. Overloaded bar, dirty toilets. No comfort. Fortunately, sea is clean and refreshing.

Favourite beach in Salento! Not too small, not too big :)

A great beach with water so clear that some girls make fake videos from the Maldives for Instagram. 😂

Beautiful beach with crystalline waters,carribian like,a splendor

It's okay... I've seen some really crazy ones in Lecce just the other day so it's not really a fair comparison in terms of awe for me, I mean there is like one other thing to see in this whole city so I guess this should be on your list of things to see.

Amazing Basilica even from the outside only. I wasn’t able to visit while it was open, but just viewing the statues and the gracious structure as a whole from the outside only was amazing!

I’ve rarely seen a cathedral with so many paintings, it’s truly impressive! 🎨⛪ Definitely worth a visit, and a great opportunity to learn more about Saint Agatha and her story. I just wish there were more information available in languages other than Italian, to make it more accessible to international visitors 🌍📖

Absolutely magnificent cathedral. Free to enter and very beautiful

Beautiful basilica. We were there on Easter and we saw some Southern-Italian Easter traditions

Beautiful baroque cathedral. Roman-Greek influences also very visible. Beautiful external facade too.

The Sant'Agata Basilica is located in the heart of Gallipoli old town which is on a small island. It is the largest building there packed in tiny streets around, so it's difficult to capture the whole beautiful Baroque facade. The interiors are stunning - pretty dark as a result of lacking sunlight with similarly dark huge paintings on its walls. Terrific marble art work as well. Free entry

Beautiful crafter building in both renaissance and baroque architecture. Fascinating to see each stage and level and the inside is incredible. The next day we walked past and there was a wedding being held inside. Very beautiful venue!

Beautiful church right off the square. Go around 4:30pm will often see a wedding.

Beutiful facade. 7e entrance fee just not worth it. Girls at the entrance not very friendly. Couldn't even tell me te entrance pirce, when we asked.

Very nice Basilica to visit and the front in the white limestone and with its carvings are spectacular. The ticket price is rather steep at 7€ for just the basilica with another 20€ to go up the tower. The best value is the 11€ ticket that gets you into the cathedral and 2 other churches as well. Now that is worth it and it is like a treasure hunt by following the map and getting you around the old city.

You have to pay to visit this basilica, but it's worth paying €21 to buy a ticket that gets you in all the main churches and tower for that price. It's a beautiful building with a colourful history. You can visit all the main sites in a day, but it's a beautiful little city, and I used it as a base to explore other towns and cities by train.

The Basilica di Santa Croce is a jaw-dropping example of Lecce’s Baroque mastery. The façade is bursting with detail — angels, columns, animals, and a stunning rose window. Built by monks of the Order of the Holy Cross (monachi sanctae crucis), the basilica is full of symbolic meaning and artistic richness. Una meraviglia barocca che lascia senza parole.

Imposing basilica with excellent stonework both inside and outside. Interesting wooden ceiling design.

Absolutely breathtaking Baroque cathedral in the heart of Lecce. The façade is richly detailed, with statues, symbols, and elegant columns. Inside, the atmosphere is serene and spiritually uplifting. A must-visit landmark in Puglia. Un capolavoro del barocco leccese, da non perdere!

A beautiful square with connecting little streets. This church and its surroundings are truly stunning. However, tickets are required here, which is a bit disappointing, as one wouldn’t expect it for this type of monument. Moreover, they are sold on the other side of the square.

Going into the crypt is a must. Seeing the skeletal remains is a bit scary. The best value is the 11€ ticket that gets you into the Basilica (7€ just for this), Cathedral (this one) and 2 other churches as well. Now that is worth it and it is like a treasure hunt by following the map and getting you around the old city.

Baroque cathedral basilica with transept build in 1669 by architect Giuseppe Zimbalo. Inside cathedral entrance to 12th century crypt with 92 columns. Tickets available in Palazzo del Seminario-11€, with tower 21€.

Gorgeous. Such a lovely place to visit, so quaint and relaxing and the architecture and buildings is stunning.

Beautiful. Download the app for the interesting story. Stunning carvings and especially loved the crypt.

Impressive cathedral, interesting marble work and ceiling. The crypt was also quite impressive.

I visited this place recently and it was amazing!I saw saturn and the moon from a telescope that was on top and it was amazing.The view is stupendous. The people that worked there were very nice!Overall I had a great experience.

Iconic tower of the Salento western coast. Beautiful and well preserved.

This is maybe one of the most amazing towers to visit on the southern side of Puglia, the view on top is priceles as is the fresh breeze relieving from the summer hotness!

Is was the and of may, so it was not open, but still it was worth it walk over there and fight with mosquitoes 🦟

I came to visit this tower twice during my vacation. The first time it was closed to only private visits, but to compensate they made a really interesting show in collaboration with the local dance club, I quite enjoyed it. The lesson I learned here is that one should always inform him/herself about the location to visit. It's not too bad that you can't enter, the tower is still quite impressive from the outside too and at night it gets illuminated. During the day you can also chill on the small open pond there and enjoy the sea.

One of the many incredibly well preserved watchtower that dot Apulia coast.

EN: Exciting experience going inside this medieval tower used in past to defend local people against Saracens. The view from the top is really nice IT: Bellissima. E' possibile visitare l'interno di questa antica torre di difesa contro i saraceni e perfino salire su in cima per godersi un bel panorama ES: Hermosa! Antigua torre de defensa contra los sarracenos hoy abierta a todos para visitarla adentro y subir hasta la parte superior desde donde se puede disfrutar un panorama precioso

We visited Togo Bay Beach Club twice last week and absolutely loved it. As a couple traveling with a baby, I couldn’t recommend a better spot in Puglia. It’s simply perfect — the vibe is just what you’d want at the beach: calm, peaceful, relaxing, and incredibly comfortable. The beach itself is beautiful, with clear, shallow water that’s ideal for babies and kids. The infrastructure is excellent — everything is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. Every detail, from the service to the atmosphere, made us feel at ease. We would go back in a heartbeat.

The set up was very nice. Great sandy beaches comfy day beds. Reservations kinda easy but hard to contact the club. Fill out form on website and they send you back an offer within 48 hours. Staff very attentive, helpful and they are constantly cleaning glasses plates and all garbage. We spent the entire day here with our small children. The public beach next door sells everything you would need for a day at the beach too

Absolutely exceptional. From A to Z. With the only negative thing is quite high prices. High season- 2 lounges and an umbrella are 95 euros . But let me tell you that everything is super impeccable there. The area I superb, the beach is sandy, and the water is turquoise clear and very shallow. The service is OMG!!! Everyone is extremely friendly, but when you tip, the service becomes even better . Top level . The lounges are very comfortable, with mattresses. You can buy their own towels or bring yours. Their towels are huge . We bought them))) very nice. And gods was out of this world. The chef is preparing everything on spot, very fast and extremely delicious. We had THE BEST lobster sandwich ever!!!! Eggplants , tiramisu, simply everything was delicious!!!! Absolutely exceptional. From A to Z. With the only negative thing is quite high prices.

They have live Dj on weekends, during the weekdays they play music . It gets very busy on a weekend, so you want to reserve your spot beforehand. Enough parking spaces . Great job. We will be back for sure.

Avoid this beach club if you’re looking for a relaxing, well-managed seaside experience. While the coastline is stunning, the overall experience is ruined by the management and front desk staff — incredibly rude and unhelpful. Booking a sunbed or even getting clear information is nearly impossible. You’re expected to fill out vague online inquiry forms, and even then, there’s no guarantee you’ll actually get a spot. Despite spending a decent amount of money here over a few days, the service at the reception remained consistently poor. The only saving grace was the waitstaff — they were fantastic. Unfortunately, the food situation is equally disappointing: no proper meals, just bland snacks that aren’t worth the price. There’s nowhere decent to eat. In short: great view, great waiters, terrible management, zero hospitality. I strongly do not recommend this beach club.

Great place with excellent service, fantastic music, and an amazing DJ after 4 pm. Our waiter. Alexander (the waiter), was very attentive to all our requests and guided us perfectly in choosing the right food. The Fino rosé wine wasn’t really worth it, but everything else more than made up for it.

Absolutely fantastic place! Gorgeous beach- gorgeous setting! Music, ambiance, service, food- love every part of this experience!

Togo Bay is visually stunning, splendid clear water like the Caribbean. The chairs are generous in size and with plenty of space between you and your neighbors. Service was good, but should have been better given the very high prices for chairs and umbrellas, food, wine and even water. Lunch was delicious, but the prices were quite high for Salento. At times it was hard to get a waiter and we had to ask several times to get what we wanted. I will definitely go back in the off season, but the service didn’t warrant the prices they were charging.

The place in general is good but the restrictions are so many that really spoil the fun for the kids.For big rides a parent needs to accompany the kid so i had to be with my 14 year old to go for the rides!!🤔 And if you have 2 kids like me I have to wait 30 minutes with one to do the ride and then wait another 30 minutes plus to go with the second...I understand safety is a priority but this really spoils the fun for the kids.The staff was really polite and the park was clean.At busy times it is crowded and you will have to wait a long time to go to the popular rides.

The water park wasn’t full but big queues on the most fun slide. Many silly rules, my kids 1 too big for some slides and the other too small and they didn’t play together . They closed the only fast food at 14:00 .

Really nice place especially on a Monday in July, there were not too many people and the kids (3 and 4) had fun. Some strange rules on the water slides, but the food was nice for being a park, kind people and fun (in house) show for the kids at the end. Not expensive. I wouldn't go on a holiday though.

We went there for my son's 7th birthday. Most of the slides were too big for him and we ended up wondering from here to there. It was very strange to see that staff was making small children queue for the small slides area. At times the slides were empty, while the queue was becoming bigger. Didn't see the point of that. Poor activity for such a big territory - there were no shows - just staff taking pictures that you can buy at the end for a ridiculous price (10€ or the 1st photo and 7€ for the next ones). Music was too loud as well. On the good side we found the place very clean and they have a good variety of (Italian) food at the cafe. Lasagna was great and the aubergine as well. Tip: Follow their Instagram account for a 3€ discount for each follower. Show this at the ticket counter when buying the tickets and they will apply the discount immediately. All in all - I would maybe recommend the park for children above 10yo. I would not go back.

The rides are ok. The guys at the rides let you wait on purpose and the regulations are really stupid sometimes, but we can't change that. The music at the waves bath is much too loud. It's anyway nice to spend the day (if too windy for the beach).

Kids love the aqua park great value and reasonably priced inside. Lots of wadeable areas. 7 pools and slides. Nice and clean free Sun loungers and parking. Bring your own picnic and BBQ space is provided.

This is the worst aquapark , we ever been. First of all the slides stop working for 2-3 hours at lunch time. There is no working restaurant and the only food is chips and ice cream. The safety measures are very expensive. Our children are around 8 years old and there is only 1 slide for them. Everything is above 135-150 m height. The aqua park is in the middle of nowhere and we drive around 2 hours to there and we are very very disappointed.

Beautiful beaches. During the off season we were almost the only ones as you basically need a bike to get to the ones more east. Unfortunately there is a lot of plastic everywhere but you cannot blame the national park for that...

Our favourite beach in Ostuni area. White sand and beautiful sea, we didnt witness any plastic garbage on the beach.

Interesting natural reserve with lots of animals, like birds and snakes.

This is a fine example of a conservation area and yet very accessible to the public . A shuttle bus service is provided from the main parking area. There are different zones of protection , no fishing , sailing and water sport areas and swimming is not encouraged in some areas . The areas are clearly designated and the public seem to be cooperating. There is a turtle hospital not open to the public due to stress that this would cause the animals. There are long scenic , tranquil paths to walk but beware of the erosions and danger in some of the cliff tops. The beaches and bays are a haven for wildlife and the public alike this place deserves more publicity but maybe its better left to the public to discover how wonderful it is?

Sorry but calling Torre Guaceto a natural reserve is a joke... The beach is dirty, with microplastics and other waste, and due to the shallow water the dirt remains in the water almost up to the buoys. Beach is overcrowded in August as could be expected, yet it has only two toilets and not even a shower. Booking online or not makes no difference: the parking is huge and accepts anyone who pays the 5€ at the entrance, and then everyone queues up for the shuttle. But the small „train“ doesn’t bring you to the beach, instead it drops you off some 700m away... and even in peak periods there is only one "train". Queues under the scorching sun are very long for both journeys (wait at least 20 minutes). The sea is ok, but neither better nor worse than the other coves along the coast. Don‘t waste your time & money here!

Just beautiful, a bit of everything white beachside, grotto's, ruins. Love that so much of this area from Bari on down the coast isn't the over devolved beaches of Spain and France.

- It's a wonderful place for a good walk along the seaside, the sea is simply amazing, only downside the rubbish coming from the sea get stuck on the beaches and doesn't get removed because "it's a reserve". - Posto fantastico per una giornata di mare immersi nella selvaggia macchia mediterranea, è un peccato però che i rifiuti portati dalle mareggiate non vengano rimossi
