Wide open area to view the beach, small carnival area just below, unsure of its opening times, and plenty of spots to sit.

The view is amazing overlooking the sea from a high place. The area has several cafes, markets, and a wonderful collection of shopping options.

I was disappointed that the fountain stopped too early before I could take picture. But it’s a nice place ☺️

Exciting place to wait. View is amazing on the sunrise

There is a very wide sidewalk along the sea, which is a few kilometers long. It is full of tables from restaurants and coffee shops, it has much space for cycling or walking. The view is amazing, especially at sunset. Visit TripAdvisor to find the best restaurants, which have both greek and eastern cuisine.

Nice place! In weekend the road is closed and a lot of people come on the seaside. Best to visit in evening.

Nice place to hang out. Lunch places are all around. There is a nice view over the harbour.

The first thing to know about this museum is that the price at the gate is higher than what is posted on the official website. The website says that the entrance fee is 90 Turkish lira, but upon arrival we were informed that the price was 400 Turkish lira. We were told that we could only pay with a Turkish bank card or with cash. We were surprised and dismayed at the price difference between what was officially posted on the website and what the guards insisted that we pay at the gate. The next thing to know is that the bathroom is located outside of the museum near the cafe. There is no bathroom once you pass through the entry gates. This museum is comprised of both indoor and outdoor exhibits. You will be walking outside so plan to dress appropriately for the weather on the day of your visit. There are steps to navigate to get to the inside parts of the museum. We saw a couple struggling to get a baby stroller down the stone steps, which were uneven. This could be a difficult place to get through if you have physical mobility limitations or if you have a baby stroller. This was an interesting place to visit, but we left disappointed about the discrepancy in the listed entrance fee and what was posted on the official website. It felt like we did not get value for the money we paid.

Great place to visit in Çanakkale. The entrance fee is 400 TL for adults and 200 for students, but it's worth every penny. With the ticket you can visit both a medieval fortress, a submarine 😱, and a ship that was planting mines in WWI. Getting inside a real submarine is quite a rare experience and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

What a perfect conservation of the history. Beautifle expositions and reallistic videos. Strongly recommend to visit this museum. It is full with history about the Ottoman empire and Turkiye Republic. It is a worth to visit it.

Excellent museum with a rich collection. Çimenlik Kalesi that hosts the museum is historically remarkable and impressive. The visit takes about 3 hours including the S338 submarine and Nusret minelayer.

Nice castle, surrounded by old armaments with a lot of history, specialty form the WW1 and the Galipoli battle, You can visita a first war germany submarine, and old ship and the museum itself, full of history about the important battle.

The museum is inside the Ottoman castle, Çimenlik Kalesi, which used to be our destination to spend time by the seaside sitting on a bench in the good old days. Now you get access only by buying a ticket, which is sad. Yet inside the castle, they created a great atmosphere of memories of Canakkale Battle. Inside the castle, you may spend some relaxing time even though you don't like the war stuff, because the castle is really beautiful under the dim yellow light.

We paid 200tl even with museum cards and residence permits. It worth it. It’s not only open air area, you also can go to the castle and learn about its history. However, it’s impossible to go to the top of the castle

Just FYI! These pictures are from the War Museum, which is 4 MINS driving from this specific location, don’t get confused! Not the best indicated, a bit confusing and less information than expected. If you drive to this specific location/building, you will not be able to enter. To go to the War Museum drive further in that road and then turn to the right when you see it indicated.

Beautiful and moving site which gives insight into the history surrounding the founding of the Turkish Republic. One of the most impactful locations on the Gallipoli peninsula.

The size of this park in terms of territory and how the people of Turkey have kept history alive is truly impressive. Moreover, the cleanliness and maintenance of all monuments deserves admiration. Can really meet global criteria. It’s definitely worth the visit but give yourself at least two or three days if you want to see everything. Also beware of turtles! 🐢☺️

Great time spent here. Moment of reflection for the legendaries, braveries and patriotism of a people led by the strong faith in their heart and readiness to sacrifice their lives and souls for the future of only their people but all the marginalised and underprivileged people of the world. This peninsula witnessed a war where all the odds were against the Turks but their faith and bravery won them a legend unequalled anywhere in the history of the world.

It is a great location in the history of WW1 and Turkish history as well. It can be done on a single day from Istanbul. The presence of a good guide I think is essential, since it is difficult to be appraised of the entire history of events or their significance.

I lived in Australia and New Zealand for a few years and Gallipoli is almost a founding myth in those respective countries. It was fascinating to come here and see the place and battle(s) I heard so much about. What was really interesting was also to see it from Ottoman/Turkish perspective. What's amazing about the whole complex is how the winning side the Turks have almost dedicated it to losing side renaming the landing area to Anzac cove etc. I can't think of anywhere else where such a thing has happened. I did a tour which you almost have to do. It's a big site so walking and local buses are not a realistic prospect. It was really hot so bring water and sunscreen but most of all if you have heard of Gallipoli and have any interest in it absolutely worth a visit.

The trip of my life! I wanted to visit the gallipoli peninsula all my life. Now that I got here and I attended a tour program I get to learn all that I wanted to learn first handedly. The weather is good but could be better. So maybe later in May or even June is better timing for the Gallipoli visit. The tour costs only ₺70 per person lunch included.

This UNESCO world heritage archaeological site is open to public and is setting for Greek mythology of the Trojan war. Excavation started in 1871 and you can see lot of ruins. If lucky you can see archaeological work in progress at sections of the site. Boardwalk access everywhere so makes walking easier but you need hat, sunscreen and comfy walk shoes. Have to pay fee to enter. At entrance there is replica of Trojan Horse. Local village goat seen wandering about ruins

Little remains of the actual buildings, but the historical and cultural significance of the location as well as the events that took place around it make up for the lack of structural integrity. Perhaps the most impressive is the entrance ramp which has been preserved in astonishingly solid shape. Also, for this who read and adore the Illiad, one can literally sense the spirit of the ancient battles amidst the ruins. With a hit of imagination, you can picture Agamemnon's army spread out across the surrounding plain as they plan and wage the attack on Troy.

I enjoyed Troy - but I only recommend going if you have an interest in the history and myths of Troy. The archaeological site itself is not the most impressive I’ve seen and it costs €27. It also does not take very long to explore. An hour is enough. For anyone trying to get the public mini bus there - as of writing this it goes from under the bridge if you search Troy Dolmus on google maps. It costs 100 lira and took about 45 minutes each way.

It was an honour to visit such an agent and historic place of a people and culture from so long ago. I really wished there were more bi-lingual translations of the text surrounding the site. Also better sign posting as I’m more of a visual person it was hard to see which versions of the city were specific to the corners of the site that we walked. The Trojan horse it self looked very commercial and ‘overly designed’ considering it was placed in the enter square of the old city.

Was quite cool. But… if you been to Roma. It’s a bit cliche. But this is 3000 BC. Still worth to go if you are not tired of 11+ hours same stay drive in the car. So simple high meat Shell gasoline test area foods. Not for foodies!

Where myth whispers through the wind — Troy, the city of nine lives. Each layer beneath my feet tells a story: the earliest settlers of 3000 BCE, the rise and fall of kingdoms, the fire and rebuilding of Troy VI and VII, and finally, the Roman Troy IX in 1st century A.D., when the city was reborn in marble and empire’s glory. Here, time folds into legend — the same ground that stirred Homer’s imagination as he sang of Achilles’ rage, Hector’s courage, and the fate sealed by a wooden horse. The ruins stand silent, yet the echoes of the Iliad still ride the breeze from Çanakkale’s shores. It’s a humbling walk through millennia — from myth to memory, from poetry to stone. #Troy #Çanakkale #Homer #Iliad #AncientTroy #RomanTroy #HistoryAndMyth #TurkeyTravel

Another historical place in western Turkey. Walk through the ruins of this well known ancient city. You can barely imagine how it should have looked in the past times. In the far you can see the Dardanelles and can imagine the tale of Homers Iliad. Of course you will find the troyan horse. There is another horse in Canakkale, which is the original requisite from the movie 'Troy'.

Fonia 1.very easy to reach.no 2 medium.no 3 difficult and there are not sign(or are bad condition) The picturea attached are from all 3 locations.

The road is absolutely horrible. Flat tire on the way up. Road keeps going past the point marked for the trail. No indicator the trail starts here, although there seems to be some trail, who knows with all the goats if it's theirs or human trail? Also no indication there is any water in this area, is it seasonal? Am I in the wrong place? How would one know? Now the joy of finding someone on the island that will drive up this horrid road to replace the tire. Edit: while waiting the hour(?) for the tire repair, I decided to be adventurous and see if I could take the trail. Not sure if time of year or what, but there are massive fields of tall ferns that seem to obscure the trails. Followed trails that seemed to go the right direction, but eventually hit a grove of trees that had no obvious trail to it, and due to the heat and hopefully impending tire repair, cut my losses and turned around. To the guy who did this in flip flops, my hat is off to you. If this is the trail, I would have given up immediately

Un urcus destul de solicitant, dar se merita. E bine sa ai incaltaminte buna, nu slapi, (Translated by Google) A rather demanding climb, but worth it. It's good to have good shoes, don't slip,

Such a mirific place. The first waterfall is the best one in my opinion. You can swim in both. The second one is colder.

Our hike to the waterfall was an unforgettable adventure, which took us just over an hour to complete. Although we got lost a few times and had to navigate through thorn bushes and ankle-deep water, the experience was still delightful. Starting off the journey, there were several paths that branched out in different directions, with no clear signage to indicate which one to follow. But we persevered and stuck to the trail closest to the river, stopping for rest breaks along the way. Eventually, we saw painted spots on rocks, which proved to be our guide halfway through the trek. To make the journey more comfortable, it's highly recommended to wear sturdy shoes and carry some water. As we reached our destination, we were delighted to see the stunning waterfall and decided to take a dip in the pool at its base. However, we were taken aback by the number of people swimming in the nude.

Even though the name screams horror the place screams harmony and ambience! 10/10 recommend

Este nevoie de încălțăminte de munte și un pic de antrenament pentru a ajunge la ea. Fiind a doua, după prima cea minunată, nu mai pare așa spectaculoasă. (Translated by Google) It takes hiking boots and a bit of training to reach it. Being the second, after the wonderful first, it doesn't seem so spectacular anymore.

Beautiful waterfall with crystal clear water in the northern side of the island. Must be visited and worth swimming.

Stunning place. Very cold water! So many high rocky surfaces where you can climb (not that hard) and jump in the water from 5 to 15 meters! Worth the visit! Try to go there early because at 12:00 - 17:00 is sooo crowded. Also the path is very hard after the 1st fonias vathra! So be prepared and take athletic shoes with you! Dont forget cold water and something to eat because after you reach there you ll stay there for hours just looking this stunning place!

The beach itself: very beautiful indeed. Beautiful waters and clean, swallow for the first few meters, ideal for families. HOWEVER. To reach the beach you have to carefully drive half an hour through an awful dirt road, after which your car will definitely need a wash and damage check. Shame to the beach bar owners who charge 25€ for a sunbed (as of June 2025) and charging the shower too. Also keep in mind the beach is very crowded in June, I can't image how unbearable it will be in August.

A beautiful combination of white marble stones and the unreal color of the sea. I'm not judging the access to the beach and the bar, but the natural beauty of the beach and it's definitely worth a visit.

No matter that the owner of Paralia beach Keramoti is the same, here the service was perfect! Food-incredible Drinks- as I say the cocktails in Greece are awful, so I prefer wine

When you turn from the main road you will have to drive 15-20 minutes on a very bumpy road. When you arrive in September the price for a set of umbrella and sun beds it is €50. Parking is free. Colors of the water are really beautiful, but that is about it. For me not worth the hype.

The beach itself is absolutely beautiful. But to pay 50 euro a couple for a set of umbrella and two sunbeds, and be asked to pay extra to shower is SAD. And what is this extra row of closed unusable umbrellas upfront for? SAD. And no service offered on the beach. SAD. Visited on 15/09/25

A unique beach with marble pebbles, very beautiful. Not easy to reach but worth to visit at least one time during your visit to Thassos. You don't have to sit at the beach bar, there is free space on the edge, although not much of it.

While Marble Beach is beautiful to look at, the experience doesn’t live up to the hype or the €50 price tag. Two sunbeds with an umbrella include one soft drink, but the beach café was underwhelming - soggy sandwiches and little atmosphere. The vibe felt more about people queuing for photos than enjoying the sea. If you want the picture, go but it’s not worth paying to stay all day. Toilets are a 7–8 minute walk from the bar, so many people likely just use the sea. There are small public beach spots on either side of the bay if you want the free option, but they’re tiny and usually occupied unless you arrive very early. ⚠️ Beware: the road down is rough off-road terrain. Drive slowly or risk damaging your car.

Very nicely kept. Views from the top of the tower are amazing and this justifies the very steep climb you have to take in order to get to the fortress. But don't skip climbing the tower stairs as it's not nearly the same view from the walls...

It's worth it for the view, although you can see the same view from any high place in the city. The ticket is 5€ per person, which I think is a bit much for one climb up the stairs to the top. Be careful with the stairs, they are steep and narrow, also watch your head (I say this from experience) and if you have claustrophobia don't go in!

This is one of the city's landmarks that can be seen from everywhere. It is a little difficult to access, due to the small streets and parking restrictions, which is a discomfort for tourists and a great relief after the introduction of the new rules for local citizens. So, it will take you between 10 and 20 minutes of walking and climbing, depending on your pace, until you reach the fortress. There is discomfort when it is a very hot day. Everything else is great. You can get a ticket and enter to learn more about the history and the city. As well as see panoramic views that are revealed from the fortress. There is also a cafe where you can rest and refresh yourself. I recommend visiting it, especially if you are interested in history. This is also a good place for children to learn new information and develop their thinking and imagination.

You will have 360 degree view of Kavala city. Entry is 5 € for July’25. Inside of castle, there are not much things to see. Go to tower and the best view is there. Castle is opening at 08:00 which I recommend that time because stairs of tower is quite narrow so that might be trouble if many people there.

Great place and worth the hike up to find it. If you are going solo as I did follow a mixture of google maps but also the local signs, even the ones painted on walls. Following google maps I got to a few dead ends. Entrance costs 4 euro and there is a bar inside! You may need that as I did after the hike up. The Castle itself is interesting but you will have been to many better. The point here is its location at the top and the great views it gives of Kavala. It’s a quiet place with no access for buses full of tourists! The walk down was a lot easier than the walk up and I think in retrospect I should have started from the viaduct from the last arch north to south, or the arch nearest the hill on which is the Fortress.

We enjoyed our visit to the fortress after we found parking. The maps tried to take us up thru very narrow streets which were too narrow for it van . We ended up parking down by the waterfront and walking up because there is no parking at the fortress.

These walls most likely follow the outline of those of ancient Neapolis, as was the name of the city in the Classical era and all the way through the Roman times. Emperor Julian (yes, that one, the one known as the apostate), made some improvements and repairs, as the threat of the barbarian tribes could not be withheld by the defenses along the Danube. Emperor Justinian also included the city in his extensive rebuilding program. So did Romanos Lekapenos, but by this time, the city had been renamed Christopolis. The job must have been a good one, as it was one of the very few fortifications that managed to repel the marauding Catalan Company, even though this occurred 4 centuries after these repairs. Nevertheless, the attack must have taken its toll, as Emperor Andronikos II commissioned repairs shortly afterward. The city held until the late 14th century, when it fell to the Turks, who in turn reconstructed the walls in the early 15th century. Some parts of the outer layers remain, but the citadel is in good condition and has been reconstructed. It offers a wonderful as well as impressive depiction of the fortifications and magnificent viewpoints too. An overall enjoyable experience for all. The only downside is the absence of parking space, but the ascent through the old town has its charm as well.

Visited the ancient ruins while on a pilgrimage tour of Greece. The whole site is massive with ruins dating back to the time of St. Paul the Apostle and from the later Byzantine era. It is highly recommended during the summer to wear a hat, bring sunscreen and an umbrella for shade. Highlights included the amphitheater, Byzantine era basilica, the town square and the location of the prison where Paul and Silas were kept in during their stop over in the city. Next to the entrance is a cafe where you can purchase food and drinks.

Very fun experience overall. Alot of the places to see were closed off for Saftey, and the museum costs alot - 10 euros each on top of the entrance ticket, despite that, the staff Is very nice, a man gave us a tour around a section of the plot, around a tomb. you get an hour or two of walking around and exploring for ten euros and kids go free. I'd recommend strongly, especially if more things open up

I loved visiting here, especially being a Christian and knowing the history of this town. The excavations are only partially done, but you can still get a real feel of what it must have been like. Such a great experience!

This is very important site for Bible story. There are site of prison of Paul & Silas. This is the place that encounter triggered events that led to Paul and Silas being imprisoned. In Acts 16:16, a young slave girl with a spirit of divination, who was earning her masters a lot of money by fortune-telling, met Paul and Silas as they were going to prayer. In Acts 16:23, after being severely flogged, Paul and Silas were thrown into prison and ordered to be guarded carefully by the jailer. On May 18 of 2025, which we visited, Greece celebrates International Museum Day, when museums and archaeological sites are open for free.

I loved the amphitheatre and it's amazing acoustics! It's insane to experience the "technology" that they had so many years back. We went on our own, so I think we missed a lot of the information, although there were enough signs explaining what you were looking at. The prison of Paul that we were most excited to see, was not much, but it was nice being at the place that he walked and spoke. The price of 10€/person is a bit too much.

10 euro per person to enter. Worth the excursion. Small village of Krinides nearby for a nice lunch.

A beautiful and big archaeological site worthy visiting. Admission was about $6 Euro per adult. On the day of our visit happened to be a special holiday in April and admission was free. They have lots of displays and explanation signs along the way. Along a QR code to download for more information. It is a fair big area. Do bring comfortable shoes and sun / wind protections. Water for a hot day. You will also find a prison cell label St. Paul’s prison (as Paul was jailed in Philippi according to the Bible) There are restaurants and facilities in the entrance area you can get food and drinks as well. Museums and shops, etc. Highly recommended!

An amazing beach, covering a long distance at the coast approximately 1km from N.Peramos. The place itself is easily accessible and offers both beach bars and open spaces, providing a place for everyone. The sand is white and clean ( don't forget to leave the place cleaner than before visiting). The sea is relatively shallow but there is a lifeguard around. The day we visited there were strong winds but even then the water was crystal clear.

This place is absolute magic! The beach is very clean, the turquoise waters are otherworldly, and little fish swim near the shore — much to the kids’ delight as they chased them around. Parking is easy at the nearby public lot, and the beach cafés offer chairs and umbrellas for a very reasonable price. They also serve delicious and affordable food and drinks, so you don’t need to leave the beach all day if you don’t want to. There are changing rooms and an open shower to rinse off before heading back to your car. A wonderful spot for families — we can’t wait to visit again!

This is the reason why after 15 years this exotic beautiful location has become a tourist attraction and not summer vacations. People lying on sunbeds one after another paying 50 euros for 2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella even if they seat 100 meters from the sea! Beach bars one next to each other with music that make no sense (even Halloween music) and no space to enjoy the true sand hills... One beach bar was burntdown instead of removing it naturally. What a pitty that 15 years ago this was an exotic place and now is like going to Athens beaches in a Sunday morning!!! Αχ Ελλάδα μου γλυκιά πως σε κατάντησαν έτσι!

Big sandy beach, no stones at the entrance of the sea. Clear water. Lots of beach bars, though rather expensive. For this kind of beach it's probably the best one in northern Greece.

Wonderful beaches around. Very clean douches and toilets. Good service, may be little bit expensive. The water is clean and transparent. You may see underwater life easily. The music is louder. Good for families as well as young people Recommend

A stunning beach with lovely white sand and turquoise blue sea. There is a small road to park in on the walk to the beach. There are no open restaurants or shops or toilets on the beach itself, but this is late May. It may be different in season. Enjoy 😊

Great beach, really fine sand and clear water. The toilets and showers are really nice and the staff are very welcoming and sweet. Wasn't a big fan of the music, we were at the end of the section far from the dj but it was still quite loud and at times a bit weird. The pizza is big, I think for two people, so have that in mind. Food and drink prices are very reasonable.

Nice beach with a lot of sun beds and tree shadow. The taverna is also good. You can see a swans.

Love this beach! One of my favourites! We got two sunbeds and an umbrella for €30 at end of July. They were very comfy ones though and a man would take orders and bring you the food and drink. The water is so lush and had so much fish, was great for snorkelling. I rented a kayak at the stand there for €15 which was great and they were very nice there. We got the bus and got off at stop 20 and it was an easy walk down. Absolutely loved it and had a great time 🤿😅💕

Great beach and the water is amazing. Singers ands umbrella €20 and the cafe its great. Really nice food and service at reasonable prices. Highly recommend

We really enjoyed our time at this beach. We arrived around 10 a.m. and it was still quiet, with only a few people around. It started to get more crowded closer to midday, but there was still plenty of space on the public beach and under the pine trees. The water was crystal clear and deepened gradually, making it ideal and safe for our toddler. A lovely spot for families!

We recommend go arrive early (before 10 am). You can get good spots both on sunbeds and on your own blankets under the trees. There are taverns, toilets and showers right on the beach. The sea is clean, in the afternoon there are more people on the beach.

Sand beach with an incredible amount of fish. The sea bottom here is sand with small sea weed like a football playground. This is the way we saw it in the beginning of September. If you like snorkeling this is definitely a nice place. The beach is easily accessible by bus. It is a popular beach and most of it is with sunbeds. However there is a small free area. We visited it just for a couple of hours in the morning to enjoy the fish in the sea.

The beach itself is nice, no waves, clean water but overall the facility is not worth the money you pay for the sunbeds. There are no restrooms, no trash cans…

We came to this beach at the recommendation of the guys who rented us ATV. The road is not paved, you drive on dirt and also pass through forest for a bit. The view on the road towards it is great, and when you reach here feels like a reward. The beach has fine sand and gives the water wonderful colors.

We walked to the beach from bus stop 24 (take the path on the left of Under The Pine Trees Restaurant). Pleasant walk through the woods, some parts were a bit uphill. Towards the end the path seems to have been affected by rainfalls, but still manageable, just wear proper shoes. The whole way took us about 25 mins walking leisurely. The beach itself is very nice with clear water. Two sun beds + umbrella for 10€. There is a kiosk selling drinks and light snacks with a seating area overlooking the sea. There was a decent amount of people there when we visited but not crowded.

A more rustic beach which was a nice contrast. It does have a bar but it's way more low key and the beach does have sunbeds, they do feel a bit old but they were cheap so it's all good. The beach has lovely water and was great snorkeling. We got off the bus at stop 24 and it was a beautiful walk down through a lush forest. Would recommend as a more wholesome natural beach

This was our favourite beach out of four or five we visited in Skiathos! It was quieter, both in terms of number of people and it being the only one we'd been to where we couldn't hear music/boats coming and going etc. It's a bit more rough and ready than other beaches, so probably look elsewhere if you'd like more facilities. €14 for two loungers and an umbrella which was the cheapest we paid anywhere. The loungers are cash-only, but the hut selling food and drinks accepts card. We had a decent lunch of greek salad, omelete, pitta bread and tzatziki - expect a bit of a wait for food as it's only small and there was quite a queue around lunchtime! It was a lovely 20 minute walk through the pine forest from bus stop 24.

Mandraki Elias beach is different from other beaches you can find It is most of time windy ( at daytime but less in the afternoon) but more wild than others There is a small tavern where you can get food and drinks no more expensive than in the rest of the island The taverna also rents two sunbeds and one umbrella for 15€ but we preferred to walk to the right side part of the beach People working at the tavern are nice and welcoming The golden beach and clear blue water are just amazing A place to stay

Such a great place to see the sunset from Skyathos beach You don’t believe me ?! Check out the photos :

Beautiful beach, very clear water smooth entrance with sand, sunbeds 14 euro for 2 seats snd 1 umbrella

Beautiful beach with nice clear water, but the people ruin the whole experience. No free umbrellas, better buy one for 10 euros and use it in the free zone. By 2:00 pm 2,3 water taxis with 300 people each pour out and the whole idyll on the beach is ruined. The sand is fine, but full of thorns from the trees.

Beautiful beach with lots of natural shade, and also a beautiful forest with a lake just next to the beach. Enjoyed every moment here. Beach bars are whatever tho but they have everything you need like coffees, drinks and food.

Beautiful sandy beach and clear blue water. There is a charge for the beds, local restaurant is nearby serving drinks and fantastic food. Sadly the toilets were not working so we had to walk 20 minutes to the other side of the beach. The beds are close together, its Europe so expect smokers and sadly that's all they do.

Considering this is one of the most popular beaches we had a great day here. We didn't get sunbeds but there are lots of trees where you can go in the shade. The water was great for snorkelling. There is nice beach bars too, changing places and a shower which is handy. The bus drops you right to the beach which was great.

Spent a day here didn’t use any of the sun bed’s saw €30 and €20 price points we set up camp near entrance to nature park sea was warm clear and we used shade of trees to keep cool Was relatively quiet one boat arrived in morning two in afternoon A beautiful beach

A go to beach, perfect sand, clean water, and its big so its never actually overcrowded. Its pricey cause its popular, a normall frape will cost you not less than 4.5 e, a beer 5-7 e (small-big) and sunbeds are 30e, but you can find place in the shade beneath the pine trees which are practically everywhere, and the smell they give is perfect.

Nice beach, with a lot of natural shade from the pine trees. But also a lot of pine needles. The water is amazing, clear.

A beautiful beach that is near two great taverns, has a bar, and has an organized stone staircase to go down to the beach. It’s not hard to access, but it has limited parking spots. BUT CAREFUL. You need to check the weather very well before you come here. It can have a strong wave and could cause danger to some weak swimmers. Come here on calmer, less windy days for the best enjoyment.

Amazing and beautiful beach! The water has an gorgeous color. Make sure to swim to the sides of the beach, and bring a floating mattress and a pair of goggles. Be aware that renting beach equipment such as a parasol and beds are pretty expensive.

One of the most beautiful beaches we've been to. The descent to the beach is also very special and beautiful. There is an opening in the stone that actually creates a separation between two beaches - one is smaller and more intimate but quickly fills up with people as time goes by. We arrived around 10:00 and it wasn't busy yet. The parking lot was full. The beach fills up quickly and when we left, around 1:00 PM, the parking lot and the beach were already full. The cost of renting an umbrella and two beach chairs is 30 euros. Worth the investment.

I recently visited this stunning beach beneath Pelion mountain, and it was an absolute paradise! The water is crystal clear, sparkling under the sun, and perfect for swimming or just wading in its refreshing embrace. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking—lush greenery meets nice , golden sand, creating a picture-perfect backdrop that feels like a postcard come to life. What truly sets this place apart is the vibrant, positive vibe; everyone, from locals to visitors, radiates joy and relaxation, making it an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the beauty. Whether you're looking to swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the serene atmosphere, this beach is a must-visit gem!

Good road, enough parking, restaurants close by, shadow from the rocks and clear blue water. Perfect!

Beautiful beach Parking gets busy so it is better to arrive early (before 10)

Fantastic beach with crystal clear water. The beach is made of small and large stones, it is not easy to place an umbrella. The beach consists of two parts that are connected by an opening in the rock, and those who do not want to go through the rock can also go through the shallows. In the long part of the beach there are several openings in the rock that look like entrances to caves. The sea here is fun for snorkeling because there are a lot of underwater rocks. There is a free parking lot above the beach, which is partly in the shade. There are steep steps and a steep and slippery path leading from the parking lot to the beach, so be careful. There is a restaurant in the parking lot with a great terrace and a divine view. There is a beach bar on the stairs with a fantastic view. On the beach itself, there is a bar that rents sunbeds at a price of €20 per set, which is too expensive. There is a shower and a changing room.

Saint John the Russian is a phenomenon. The church is beautiful and the Saint lays resting so you can pray over him. It’s amazing. Many miracles have occurred inside and outside the church. Many faithful have seen Him in their dreams. Definitely visit the church and there’s also great food right across the street.

Easter Sunday and no waiting line. Normally it is very busy. I believe we where lucky. Beautiful place. A must visit.

Very nice big Orthodox Church. St John's the Russian body is kept in there and you can venerate him. Worth visiting on your way to North Evia.

Very spiritual place to visit, a lovely day trip.

in a beautiful and green area of ​​central Evia, a church that boasts a local sanctuary, is a tourist attraction for tourists and faithful people, offering work to a host of local businesses.

What a beautiful church! A miraculous saint! This is a nice small village with cute coffee shops bakeries and tavernas. Lots of choices for food if you are hungry. There's also a pharmacy in this town and a small grocery store. You won't go hungry! A must visit. There is also holy water here! I can't wait to visit again!

On Clean Monday, a Greek National Holiday, with friends and 2 cars, we visited that location and enjoy the forest and the traditional architecture!

I had wished to visit this place for many years and, finally, I did. We are all familiar with the Marathon contests all around the world, but, this is the The Place, the origin, from where the Greek soldier Pheidippides, ran to Athens to report victory in the Battle of Marathon; he died of exhaustion after delivering the good news. Today's runners, fortunately, survive, although any Marathon race is extremely demanding. Visit the place with me, you are in no danger, enjoy good food and coffee at the shore of the Marathon Lake (it's an artificial one), wander the picturesque landscape, watch birds and just relax. Have a nice trip!

This lake is so quiet, BUT, the forest is burned severely, it's okay 👍 so this lake has a bridge 🌉🌉

.. A beautiful place in Attica that many times its forests being burned for land speculation and as a final act of Love for the environment they now plant and deposit 5 kilometers away the garbage of Attica in the this area!!!!5 is for the memory of forests 1 is for all the destruction of the last green zone of Attica all concerned involved..Of course money for these people I more important for the conditions of people living in this area and of course whole Athens....money that's the only word they learned to worship.. Hypocrisy at its best...not only....

Went there to run the great Authentic Greek Classic Marathon. Great views, great scenery and above all, the feelings, running a route over 2 000 year old!

Do NOT use this route. This map leads u to middle of nowhere, on dirt road, you will see valleys with trees burnt, and then dirt road track ended, field of wild flowers and grass filled the area, we had to make a u-turn to get out. DO NOT use this route if you want to visit Lake Marathon. Instead, if you must visit, pick the Lake Marathon panoramic view on Google map. It’s over-rated.

from a tourist perspective, there is nothing here... walking routes from the dam are blocked off and the one restaurant that used to be here is abandoned.

A great place to visit really close to Athens

Beautiful part of Greece that is not overly touristy, except in summer where it's a popular hiking spot. But this is "good" tourism in my opinion. Will go back when I can

It took us 2 days 1 night. We started off from gortsia. It was a crazy experience hiking Mount Olympus. The last bit of hiking is the hardest bit. We didn’t have helmets or ropes lol but you’re probably safer to get them, unless you’re fit and not scared of hights. Views up here was crazy and if you are a hiker you should definitely climb Mount Olympus!!

The tallest mountain in Greece. Well worth a visit if you’re in the local area.

Breathtaking!!!! Mystical place, wonderful nature Take a swim near the waterfall and soak in the beautiful surroundings A religious experience.

Went there to look for Zeus. Unfortunately couldn't reach the top so cannot confirm or deny he lives there. But he probably does if given the choice. Pure Greek natural beauty all around.

Yes, I'm reviewing a mountain. Not my first mountain either, although I haven't reviewed Kilimanjaro yet. Ok, it's a an actual mountain, summit above the tree line, though only 2918 meters (9.578 ft), no snow up there but plenty of wind and temps are way lower than at the bottom. It's about 25,000 steps to the top, almost all of them ascending, of course, over often technical rock and rooty trails. I suppose it could be done in a day, up and down, doubling the steps. but not by me. I'm 76 and two days were definitely necessary. There's a hut not far from the summit, very basic, with: • surprisingly good fresh food throughout the day and evening, staring with coffee at 6:30 am (and not a moment before) • yes they take cards, tho I was told sometimes the payment terrminals or internet connection don't work, so bring at least 25 Euro as backup • unheated rooms containing 8-12 cots, where you could end up trying to sleep next to someone snoring like a 500 lb boor, as I did. Not pleasant. Bring ear plugs.

Nice experience. Easy to climb

Small bridge over Europe’s Strait water. Bridge opens up for sailing boats which is popular among locals and tourists. Euripus Strait is a narrow channel of water separating the Greek island of Euboea in the Aegean Sea from Boeotia in mainland Greece. Many popular restaurants are along the water, close to the bridge.

The Chalkida Old Bridge is an absolute gem that is definitely worth a visit! The sunset views with all the lights illuminating the bridge create a magical ambiance. Taking a leisurely walk along the pathwalk surrounded by restaurants and bars adds to the charm of the experience. It was the perfect spot for us to stay and avoid going to Athens for an early flight. If you're looking for a picturesque and convenient location, the Chalkida Old Bridge is a must-visit destination. Don't miss the opportunity to soak in the breathtaking scenery and enjoy a memorable time by the bridge!

The Old Bridge of Chalkida is one of the most iconic landmarks of the city. Built in 1896, it connects the center of Chalkida with northern Evia, crossing over the Euripus Strait. The bridge is famous for its unique mechanism that raises and lowers to allow ships to pass through. It is a historic monument and a popular tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the sea and the city. It is one of the key stops for anyone visiting Chalkida, and the traditional atmosphere around the bridge always leaves an impression.

The famous bridge of Chalkida and Evia, one of only 2 bridges that connect tge island with the mainland of Greece. This bridge have a long history because of the water under it witg every few hours the flow change sides. Every day (each time in different hour) the bridge is opening and boats are passing

Lovely place for a short trip from Athens. Best fish taverns and best place for walk close to seaside. Calm city. This aerial photo can show you the beauty of this place. This bridge also used long years before for extreme sports.

Ancient technology but still strong when walking on it and cars passing by, you can feel the noice. And a ship crossing we well all stoped both cars and humans. And you can hear the noice as they left the bridgle, amaizing. And I love the surroundings restaurants bars et cetera.

I'm glad to have seen this old bridge. I walked over this and admired the Island of Evia from the Mainland side. Looking into the sea, the currents are so strong.

We stopped here on our way to the airport, and it was a much more pleasant and relaxed shopping experience compared to Athens, which felt hot, crowded, and stressful in comparison. There’s a free luggage storage service available until 8:30 PM, which was really convenient. You’ll find a variety of restaurants, a large supermarket, and cafes with delicious pastries—all at reasonable prices. Most major clothing, footwear, and homeware brands are represented here. We arrived in the early afternoon. Although it was warm, there was a nice breeze. As the weather cooled down later, the place started to fill up with more visitors. One thing that truly stood out was how clean the restrooms were—honestly the cleanest I’ve seen anywhere in the world. The taxi from Athens cost €30 and took about 35 minutes. Just note that to leave the area, you’ll need to order a taxi (Uber works well).

We stopped here on our way to the airport for some last-minute shopping, and it was pretty cool. The mall has two big sections: an open area and a covered part. It’s spacious and family-friendly, plus there's a playground for the kids. Everything is well-designed and the restrooms are impressively clean. The Guest Services provides a free luggage storage service for tourist shoppers, but you need to show a plane ticket to use it. You can find all kinds of restaurants, a supermarket, and cafes with yummy pastries, and everything's reasonably priced. Most of the stores are branded, offering good deals on clothes, shoes, and household stuff. Just make sure to keep your receipts so you can get a tax refund for your purchases at the airport. The only downside is that there's no store for authentic Athens souvenirs, which is kind of a bummer.

Amazing! So many brands with great special offers. Totally worth spending the whole day here, visit both the premium section and the part with Zara, Sinsay, etc. There’s also a playground area for kids, making it perfect for families.

This mall is big! They have evrything and its very beautiful and pretty. If you are in the area its a must visit also walking distance to zoo and waterpark

Athens Designer Outlet is a shopper’s paradise! A great mix of international and Greek brands with impressive discounts all year round. The layout is spacious and easy to walk around, with plenty of cafés and restaurants for a break between shopping. It’s clean, well-organized, and has a relaxed atmosphere that makes the whole experience enjoyable rather than stressful. Convenient parking and friendly staff make it even better. Perfect for a day out if you love fashion and great deals!

Highly recommended perfect place to visit on your last day in Athens You can easily spend the whole day here without noticing the time it’s a beautiful and spacious outlet with so many great stores and a relaxing atmosphere. Most luxury brands are outlet stores, so you can find amazing deals and very reasonable prices. There are also a lot of popular brands like Zara and Pull&Bear… The place looks modern, elegant, and clean, and they even offer a free luggage storage service, so you can leave your suitcases and shop comfortably. We went straight from the outlet to the airport it was super easy We just took a bus to the train station, then a train directly to the airport everything was smooth and convenient

As with most outlets all over the world, the architectural layout and the brands displayed are similar. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. Because of the physical layout, visitors are not shielded from the rains if they want to move from shop to shop unless they use the underground carpark. When I was there on Monday, there wasn't many people. It opens at 10 in the morning.

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.

If I could I would give no star at all!!! We spend 20€ on 3 drinks (Coffee was not even hot!) and just wanted to play some card, when a waiter scared us off and insulted us because we were no hotel guests (we were served and they knew that we were not hotel guests) He didn't let us speak and was incredable rude!!! never again!!!

High end Hotel beaming with tradition and history yet modern service. Their wellness spa is up there in line with the best that can be found worldwide. It was a short break but we have promised ourselves to come back for a long stay soon.

I had high expectations for this spa, given the premium prices, but unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. The cleanliness was absolutely unacceptable—dirty bathtubs, unkempt facilities, and an overall unhygienic environment that made it impossible to relax. The services were nowhere near what you would expect from a spa charging such high rates. The treatments felt rushed and unprofessional, with little to no attention to detail. The overall atmosphere lacked the serenity and luxury that a proper spa should offer. To make matters worse, the breakfast was just as bad—bland, low-quality food that was clearly not fresh.

The hotel is situated in a perfect location yet the maintenance is not as expected which left us with an unpleasant experience. The Spa pool and area are not clean enough, the towels ( if any, as not always available) are old and worn out same goes for the bathrob. This hotel has great potential to become a jewel but not in this cleanliness level.

Paradise on Earth! Amazing place , amazing hospitality , outstanding service! High quality standards for providing the best of the best of relaxation, wellness and spa! For sure it's the place of your dreams! Thank you for make me live such an experience!

I walked in with my dog in my arms a mini poodle for to get a spa program and the woman in the reception acted as I walked in with a monster 🤬 I will never spend a penny in this place and will never come back for spa treatment even if the paid me a place that don’t like animals the don’t like people as well just the money your going to spend there 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Everything is ok but the seeming pool is not warm enough

A hidden gem for sure - more of a beach club than we were expecting but it’s very relaxed with a great array of amenities (showers, bar, restaurant). It’s a beautiful setting and the doctor fish were a great add to the experience. Staff aren’t the most welcoming or attentive but the food was tasty. Would recommend!

Had a wonderful time at the lake today, we got there for about 11-11.30 (via metro and bus, took an hour) and queued for 10 minutes. Didn’t ask for student identification and we easily managed to get two sunbeds as there was still many available. It was lovely vibe. Foods quite pricey for small portions and not a lot of vegetarian options, just tomato basil pasta or margherita pizza as the two hot mains. We spent a few hours here, loved the fish. Water was SO salty! Not seen anyone else post about how salty it was, suprised me a lot! The lake was pretty cold despite it saying 25 degrees but fair enough. Changing facilities were good. Only two cubicles for female toilets though which surprised me. I enjoyed the experience as a whole!

This place is just suuuuper cool👍👍 Enjoyed it just a to the beginning of March, sunny weather. Sun is very warm, but not burning, temperature in the lake is very refreshing. Lake is surrounded by the high rocks, so there is no wind there, just a smooth breeze.All what you need on weekend!! and it is very close to Athens 👍

Absolutely great idea to visit this lake. Come early as the sunbeds get occupied pretty fast by lunch time. No sunscreen allowed into the water, which is perfect in my opinion. Food and drinka available as well as wheelchair access.

This is a spectacular lake and chill beach club. It is such great spot to spend the day but the bad service of the staff there really let it down. I visited in June 2024 and had a wonderful experience in a cabana with my family. I even wrote an 3-page feature article about the Athens Riviera mentioning it and Abraovato for Robb Report ANZ where I was the assistant editor at the time. This year my visit today was still beautiful but the service was underwhelming. There was a mix up with my booking on the door which resulted in the blonde female manager in charge being very rude to on the door acting aggressively from the start. Then after settling down to read in our pre-booked lounge chairs for 50 euro (not what we thought wee were getting really) we ordered mineral water and coffee and decided to make the most of where we were seated. But after our first swim we were then surrounded by two male lifeguards, a swarthy and loud old male pool cleaner, and another two older male service people who gossiped very loudly right behind us for over 25 -30 minutes which made me very uncomfortable and made it hard to concentrate on drawing and reading (let alone sleeping which would have been nice). I didn't come to the beach club to sit around with a bunch of strange men who were supposed to be working and weren't. Every time i turned around they were staring at me. The place was pretty empty so we asked to please be moved to a quieter spot and we did move to some chairs right around the back of the lake where we continued reading and sketching the lake. We ordered a salad and a cocktail and moved all our own stuff to some new sun beds that were just in the sun. Again empty beds around us for as far as the eye could see Then we were getting prepared to relax when the blonde female manager came back over and told us we had to pay another 60 euro to stay on the sunbeds. So instead of staying until 6.00pm and eating and drinking as we had intended and having a snooze there went to the One &Only for lunch in Glyfada where the service, pool and bar is impeccable. This beach club could have made our stay so pleasant and enjoyable and the unprofessional staff really let it down. Had they offered us an upgrade to start with and some good service we could have had a great time. I have told so many people about this place and now I will not continue to because there is a nasty attitude in the staff that is truly inexplicable.

Everything is great. But look on this toilets.??? 17 euros entrance ticket and you can not fix it. You can see a neighbor in another cabin from the hole in that plastic cover. The door is not closing and the button with a mechanism outside

Very beautiful place. But the staff ist handeling und the equipment during opening houers in the afternoon which is very noisy and disturbing. They even take your chairs away you pay for and put yor stuff somewhere else 2h before closing. If one charges about 40 EUR entrance fee clarly wrong.

One of my favorite place where you can enjoy great view and wonderful boats. Good places for drink, dinner or lunch. Or just walk aroun snd enjoy the atmosphere.🫶🥰❤️😍 and parking available two hours only €6!!!

Beautiful place with amazing yachts and a lovely promenade – truly magical atmosphere.

Flisvos Marina is a stunning location to visit with your whole family. There's something for everyone, it's an amazing place to stay for a couple of hours.

Very cool and nice marina, many super yachts berthed.

Flisvos Marina is a modern and luxurious marina located in the southern part of Athens. It hosts many yachts and has a beautiful sea view. The area is popular for walking, dining, and relaxing, with cafes, restaurants, and shops. It’s a great place to enjoy the seaside atmosphere close to the city center.

Very nice place to have a walk i will definitely go again

An excellent marina with a large number of berths for all types of vessels. The marina also has a number of bars and restaurants with excellent service and very good food where everyone can find something for themselves and there is also a gift shop if you want to buy a little something or a souvenir.

Ferry to Hydra, a Greek Island. Business Class. Very comfortable. Cabin was cold. Bring a jacket

Fast and comfortable trip that was on time both ways. I removed 2 stars only because I went to the ticket desk in Aegistra and the friendly agent said it was no problem to board an earlier ferry. I repeated myself just to make sure she understood that my ticket time was different and she patiently responded that the QR code would work. The QR code did not work, however, when I boarded and so I was unsure if I would have to buy a new ticket. The agent on the boat said she would take care of it and disappeared never to return. Please just make sure your agents and your ticket scanners are on the same page

Fast ticket sales. Very accommodating. Was able to change my ticket times so we can go back to Athens earlier than planned.

Don’t stress the reviews, reliable, easy to book online, got us there quickly, everyone was kind, just don’t come late and you won’t be stressed. Really grateful and such a more pleasant commute than flying!

Not much to say. Been helped super fast. Got good price and advice. Was also able to leave bags in office for couple of hours while waiting for ferry.

Last boat of the day had a problem so they cancelled with no communication or care for how people get back from Aegina, they said email for refunds, and refused to issue them there. absolutely no duty of care for customers

Riding the ferry to Aegina from Athens was beautiful. The ferry ride was amazing and comfortable. The ride was 40 minutes and $40 round-trip. It was a slow day, it was easy to get tickets. It was a beautiful day on a beautiful ferry.

Last stand, day 3 of the battle happened here. Persions killed the Spartans with arrow swarms when hand to hand could do it. Don't miss the burial mound by the thermal springs to the west

the hot spring was attractive. but there were many poor peoples around it.

A monastery off the beaten path which we really liked! We took a detour to the monastery on our way back from Arachova to Athens. It is big and beautiful and has a beautiful painted crypt and inside of the church. Well looked after and lost of interesting history. The stables and one or two other buildings did burn down 2-3 years ago and they are restoring it. It does not distract from the great experience and I can highly recommend the place. Lots of parking and we could pay by card.

A must see. Worth a detour, worth a visit. Meteora is also a must see at a stunning location. This is a stunning monastery at a beautiful place.

Stunning view of the mountains, the building itself is beautifully taken care of, it is active so people do go to participate in service but there is plenty of small areas to explore with bits of history information and a small museum room where u need to buy entry tickets. There is a large parking lot higher up from monastery but with the hills and stairs it could be difficult for someone with mobility issues. There are clean toilets for use before you get the entry gate as well

I drive in from Domvrina. The drive was amazing, Ag Anna was beautiful, all the villages on the way were beautiful and the Monestery is in a unbelievable place. Stunning views. The people there are so nice. I recommend anyone visiting Greece visit here.

Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Lots of history and things to see. I think it was 10€ to enter.

Gorgeous monastery that everyone should visit. I can't believe how obscure this place is when it's monumental and religious value matches that of Parthenon in its respective hostorical era. The view is wonderful and everyone is so friendly and willing to share facts about Saint Loukas and the monastery itself.

One of the most beautiful and interesting places to visit in Greece, it’s a must

Interesting place for panorama, the church, the cave. Not so much parking, but if you go in the right timing, you find. The church is amazing with a lot of frescoes. The cave is keeping the body of the saint. View on Loutraki, you can see the Korynthos channel, you can see the two seas….the road to get there is very small, better to pass through the road in the direction of perachora

A beautiful and peaceful monastery in the mountains of Loutraki. It is not only a place of religious significance but also a spot of natural beauty. The journey up the mountain is scenic, and once you arrive, the tranquility is remarkable. I highly recommend visiting, whether for spiritual reasons or simply to enjoy the peace and stunning views.

Beautiful monastery with an amazing view. Take some time while you are there to enjoy the peace and spirituality.

The paths are marked by red dots on rocks from loutraki to the monastery. The hike is quite difficult.

The view is breathtaking, and somehow, the climate is so nice and relaxing up there

Like all monasteries in Greece, they are positioned and have a perfect integration into the landscape! Where else can you compare the joy of the monks and nuns with whom they welcome guests and their hospitality!

The St. Patapios Monastery is set on a hill (mountain) just above, north from the sea side town of Loutraki. Have in mind this is not the Monastery you see on that same hill from Loutraki beach. The St. Patapios Monastery is further up, secluded in the mountain, hard to spot down from the town. A 15-20 min narrow winding road drive takes you to a parking lot from where're several flights of steps to the Monastery. You can visit a nicely decorated small Church, as well the cave with St. Patapios relics. Best of all are the outstanding views from there - towns of Loutraki and Corinth, the Ionian side entrance to Corinth canal and both, Ionian and Aegean Sea. It's a nice 2 hours excursion from Loutraki I strongly recommend, both cultural and scenic

Worth the money and the trip. Gorgeous ruins and views. Very informative museum along the site. You might wanna go around morning or afternoon to avoid high noon sun.

It is humbling to see how advanced the ancient Greek were, compared with the rest of Europe. A really impressive site to visit. The walk to the stadium is quite a climb. (Not hard, just exhausting in warm weather) If you really want to see it, go for it. It is beautiful. I would surely recommend getting a top view from the theatre, to really see how big the site is. Also, dont forget to visit the museum. Perhaps visit the museum first. And remember the statues you see there. A lot of pieces of the puzzle will fall in to place at the site. As you can hardly imagine how things would have looked

The site itself is relatively compact and, to further that feeling, when we visited the Athena part of the monument was temporarily closed. The space is well kept, and even or a rainy day the site was still very accessible with no security concerns due to slippery terrains. The temple of Apollo was amazing and everything from top to bottom was stunning, especially in context with the rest of the remnants like the treasury and the market. Didn’t have time to visit the museum, however, I still found it very much enjoyable and interesting.

An unforgettable experience. After visiting the museum we climbed the hill up to Apollo's temple. The place has a certain atmosphere, which cuts through even when the huge tour groups rumble through each area. If you have any interest in the Oracle you must come to see this magical place. Ask Apollo for advice at his temple, which is the centre of the universe, and wait for a sign. The views are stunning and the only negative is I wished it hadn't been so busy. Perhaps try to visit at a quieter time of year. Highly recommended.

A great place to visit some ruins. Beautiful. Striking. Imposing. Impressive. They’re in the process to add a cafe by the entrance. A few cats that are hungry, they come to visits expectedly for food.

The famous Temple of Apollo at the Delphi archaeological site, located between the beautiful town of Arachova and the modern village of Delphi, is absolutely worth visiting and highly recommended. The place where the temple stands feels magical—you can truly connect with the surrounding nature. There’s something special about the mountains, the golden-yellow flowers scattered everywhere, and the lush green trees. A helpful tip: be prepared for plenty of walking. It’s like an easy hike up to the upper part of the site, where you’ll find a stunning ancient stadium and breathtaking views.

Very nice area on the top side of a mountain with a nice view. A lot of history here and informational plaques. There’s also plenty of staff around the help keep things moving and answer any questions. Would recommend taking a trip out here if your looking for places near Athens to explore

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 👌🏼
