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.

I came to this place out of curiosity, as a tourist, to see a Greek beach and take a walk. The harbor is impressive, with many beautiful yachts docked. It's a place for those who live in a completely different place. The beach next to it is rocky and, unfortunately, full of plastic pieces of various sizes

A very nice harbour and a great walk all the way around. Always in the sun and a great choice of places to stop for food and refreshments.

Pireus Harbour in Athens Greece is great place for connections to other islands by boats and ferries. I used so many times coming from Athens airport.

Very good organized port with plenty of different methods to reach the city center, including the hop on hop off busses if you are visiting only for a day during a Mediterranean cruise

There have been some modern updates since the 50’s but it’s not a modern port by any stretch of the imagination. Everything looks like the 1960’s but the necessary infrastructure is not here and may never get here. It can look comical how a country with so many islands don’t have a modern port but that’s a different conversation. If it gets busy good luck finding your way around. Most recently a paid passenger was thrown off the boat and died because the government has not figured a secure way to board people and vehicles on the boat. It looks like Europe but it reminds you a crossroad of cultures.

A massive seaport where local ferries and cruise ships dock. Taxis are only permitted to be in a designated area. Place is clean and efficient.

Main hub for travelling by ferry to greek islands ,very well organised

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Nice museum with lots of interesting pieces

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 museum and the archaeological site of Corinth are definitely worth visiting! I recommend bringing water, a hat, and comfortable shoes, especially on hot days. The only downside is that it’s a bit tricky to get there: you either need a car or have to take a taxi (from Corinth town we paid €12 to reach Ancient Corinth and the archaeological site). That said, it’s absolutely worth it. On our way back to Athens, our taxi driver stopped at the Isthmus of Corinth(20€): we got to see the canal, take some photos, and there’s also a ticket office and a bus stop for the return to Athens.

Easy to get to off the main highway. Normally open 8am to 8 pm. Closes at 6:30 in October. Costs to enter. They do not give you a map so you will need to read the signs to understand what you are viewing. The museum was nice and flowed well. It is easy for adults and small children to navigate.

We have been looking forward to seeing this archaeological site for years. The ruins of Corinth we see today are from the Roman era. This site was founded by Julius Caesar himself. The Greek city was destroyed by the Roman general Lucius Mummius in 146 BC. For us, the best aspect of seeing these ruins is to follow in the footsteps of the apostle Paul. He ministered to Corinth for 18 months.

So incredible to walk through what was once a thriving and bustling structure in ancient Greece. We especially were in awe of the Bema where the Apostle Paul would speak...so cool and rich in biblical history. A must see in Greece!

I went with a group and we had a guide. I would say having a guide of some sort is key to understanding more of its history. The ruins are beautiful and there is a small museum that also has restrooms. There is a decent amount to explore in Corinth. There is also a small town center with snacks, food, and souvenirs.

100% worth the drive especially if you combine it with a trip up to Acrocorinth. So much history happened here both from a Greek mythology perspective and a Christian/biblical perspective. Bring you walking shoes!

Great museum, the ancient city grounds and ruins are one of the best in all of Greece. If you love the anvient cities it is a must see. Rent a car and drive out and visit this and many sites nearby. Free for under 18

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.

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

Magnificent lake and surrounding area. Great spot for a motorhome. Highly recommended for a weekend trip from Athens during all seasons.

Amazing lake with snowy mountains around it. Very nice for a peaceful walk and paddling. Wanna be back in better weather.

A wonderful, clear lake, always quiet. Clear, pleasant water. In the summer, beware of snakes, including those in the water, which are not poisonous.

An amazing lake so beautiful that it is suitable for every season! You can circle it on foot (an hour's walk) and stop for a picnic. On Saturdays there is a small farmers market near the monastery in the middle of the lake

Lake Doxa offers an amazing Alpine-like landscape all year round. Maybe in winter the scenery gets more dramatic and movie-like. Prefer to visit on days of non-public holidays as it gets really crowded. Thus you'll get to experience the beauty and silence of nature in all its glory. Hiking, horse riding and canoe are some of the activities you can enjoy while you're here. You can also see Lake Doxa in a recent travel film (along with nearby villages and the region of Stymphalia) called WanderSoul: Beyond the road which I'll list below. If you love nature and the mountain region of Corinthia, this is definitely worth a watch... Video: https://youtu.be/d5hM3xLlSqY

Lake Doxa (Greek: Λίμνη Δόξα, romanized: Limni Doxa) is an artificial lake in western Corinthia, Greece. It is situated at an elevation of 900 m' In the heart of the lake on a small peninsula features a small church of Agios Fanourios.The area of Lake, which has been declared as NATURA area, is of outstanding natural beauty and receives many visitors. The only negative I saw was the small makeshift shops from the vendors near the chapel that spoiled the image of the landscape. There could be small uniform shops in a row made of wood or some material that would fit the landscape.

Beautiful lake with water bikes, canoes, a little chapel and tables with locally produced products. Great place for a picnic, bicycle or just to enjoy the view. Not sure if you are allowed to swim.

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 👌🏼

Saint Andrew Church in Patras is definitely impressive in size—it’s the biggest church in Greece. The building looks grand from the outside, and the mosaics inside are nice. That said, it doesn’t feel particularly special or memorable, especially compared to some of the older, more historic churches in Greece. Still worth a quick visit if you’re in the area, but don’t expect to be blown away.

This is one of the most impressive cathedrals in the world. It is being build for over a century. Located next to the old St Andrews Church and the sacred cave where Saint Andrews use to live. The place of the church is the place of his martyrdom where the Romans crucified him on a saltire (X-shaped cross). The cathedral is home to the remains of the saint (see photo with the silver case in the shape of the church) and the remains of the cross (in the saltire casing). Visiting the place after 25 years was a pilgrimage.

The Church of Saint Andrew in Patras is one of the most magnificent and spiritually uplifting places I have ever visited. As the largest Orthodox church in Greece, it impresses not only through its monumental architecture but also through the deep sense of peace that permeates every corner. The interior is breathtaking — a masterpiece of Byzantine-inspired design, adorned with splendid frescoes, marble columns, and intricate mosaics that narrate sacred stories in vivid color. The grand dome, depicting Christ Pantocrator, dominates the space and leaves visitors in awe. The golden chandeliers, icons, and marble iconostasis all contribute to an atmosphere that feels both majestic and profoundly sacred. Of particular note is the chapel containing the relics of Saint Andrew the Apostle — the patron saint of Patras and one of the first disciples of Christ. The ornate reliquary cross and the relics themselves are beautifully displayed, radiating a strong sense of reverence and historical continuity. Every detail of the church — from the carved icon stands to the illuminated murals — speaks of centuries of faith and devotion. Whether you come as a pilgrim or simply as a traveler interested in history and architecture, the Church of Saint Andrew offers a moving experience that transcends time and culture. Visiting this holy site is not just a cultural encounter, but a deeply spiritual journey — a place where art, history, and faith unite in perfect harmony. Truly, a must-see landmark in Greece and a profound tribute to the enduring legacy of Saint Andrew the Apostle.

Such a beautiful church and apparently the biggest in Greece! No need to pay to come in. The history of it is just amazing: search it! It’s totally worth it

The church is renowned as the largest Orthodox church in Greece, with some sources noting it as the third or fourth largest Byzantine-style church in the Balkans. It hosts a massive central dome soaring to 46 m in height, crowned by a 5 m gold-plated cross, with 12 smaller crosses above the bell towers symbolizing Christ and the Apostles Religious Greece Greek City Times The vast interior spans approximately 1,900 m² (with an additional 700 m² on the upper level) and can accommodate around 7,000 worshippers If you're drawn to monumental architecture, intricate Byzantine art, and the spiritual resonance of sacred relics, the Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Patras is absolutely worth visiting. It offers a serene, awe-inspiring experience-even if you're not religious. But if you're seeking the quaint charm or medieval atmosphere of ancient churches, consider pairing this visit with stops at Patras's older sacred sites.

Spectacular church where everyone is welcome to venerate the holy relics of Jesus Christ's first called disciple, who was crucified here. One of Saint Spyridon's shoes can also be found here (in the old church).

The church is magnificent and beautiful. To venerate the holy relics of St Andrew is a great blessing. ☦️

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.

An extremely impressive and enriching experience! The museum combines history, culture, and tradition in a way that is both educational and engaging, making it a truly thrilling visit for the whole family. The exhibits are beautifully presented, offering insights into Metsovo’s heritage and way of life. I would consider it an absolute must-see when visiting Metsovo. 5 euros for adults and children up to 10 2,50.

Amazing paints and well organised art gallery well done. Definitely one of the best in Greece ! Great collection for such a little town

Great place to visit when you are in metsovo. Very important paintings

4th of May 2022. The Averoff Museum of Neohellenic Art was opened during August 1988. It has the permanent exhibition and many others from time to time. The permanent exhibition has 250 works by the major Greek painters, printmakers and sculptors of the 19th and 20th century, like Fasianos, Egonopoulos, Lytras, Volanakis, Parthenis, Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, Moralis and many more. Two of the paintings that we used to ‘meet’ in our books at school, there are also there. These two are: the dude eating his watermelon of 1880 (ο μάγκας που τρώει καρπούζι) from Pantazis Periklis and the burning of the Turkish flagship by Kanaris (Η πυρπόληση της τουρκικής ναυαρχίδας από τον Κανάρη) of 1873 by Lytras Nikiforos. Still life is alternating with colorful landscapes and angelic faces are alternating with sad ones in this museum full of history, that you should not miss. Of course, for those who seek the unexpected, there is the room with the modern means of expression. Take a look and enjoy. Tip: Do not miss the room with Metsovo’s history unfolding through photos. @traveladvicefromagreek

Lovely gallery, with lots of works of art to admire, and extra friendly staff! This gallery is a must if you visit Metsovo!

Well worth a visit. Gives the visitor an interesting perspective of revolution-era Greece. There is also a black and white photo collection at the basement, which shows how life was seventy years ago.

Wonderfully curated, beautifully exhibited! 100% recommend! The most impressive room for me was the Children’s workshop! Thank you for keeping the arts alive and thriving for the children in your villages and communities!

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

Beautiful beach. Walking path is about 20min. There are sunbeds and umbrellas but also a lot of free space to relax. Aqua shoes are recommended to enter the water. No WC, only a small pavilion for drinks, ice cream and some snacks.

An incredibly beautiful beach — just as stunning as the famous Porto Katsiki. I highly recommend visiting it! The beach is never too crowded, and there’s also a section with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. At the far end, you’ll find a nudist area. Parking is free, but you need to arrive by around 10 a.m. to find a spot. From there, it’s a 20–30 minute walk through a mountain forest with both uphills and downhills. If the sea is calm and there are no big waves, you can also reach the parking area by boat (water taxi).

The sunset from this beach is Worth the 20 minutes hike across the steep hill from Agios Nikitas and the trip back in the twilight. There were waves that afternoon but it was a nice change from the east coast calm waters.

The beach is really beautiful, water is crystal blue. There were some waves that have not seemed too big, however water taxi was not available that day..so better to maybe ask in the city. Going to beach through woods is doable, better with sneakers. There are some parts that are steep but with few rest stops it's not a problem. There is not toilet, restroom. Snack bar is above the beach.

Beautiful sandy beach ⛱️🏖️ 😍❤️ Perfect view. Perfect water: beautiful, turqouise and clear, little to no waves, sand and little pebbles in the water. You don't need water shoes because the bottom of the sea is smooth and the little bebbles are friendly with the feet. To reach the beach there are 2 options: Option no. 1: This option is about leaving Agios Nikitas by foot and going though the woods directly on the beach. For this option you need to walk and climb on a pathway through the woody hills and go down on some rocky stairs towards the beach so I recommend you to wear sport shoes (or water shoes) with thicker soles instead of slippers/flip flops. I super recommend this option because it's so so so worth the effort. Take care of mosquitos after sunset. The view is spectacular and a little effort compensates for a lazy sunny beach day ☀️ 😎 Option no. 2: You can also take a water taxi from Agios Nikitas if you want the easy way. After 4 pm there is a long queue of people waiting for the water taxi to go back to Agios Nikitas. When the last water taxi arrives they will wisle, this means there will be no other water taxi after it so you better hurry up to jump on the boat for the last ride. There is a beach bar with frappes and drinks. There is also an area of umbrellas and beach beds with fast food menu. From time to time some guys walk through the beach with water, juices, soda, beers or donuts and pastries. Beautiful 😍❤️ is the best word to describe this beach 🏖️⛱️

Amazing beach with big waves. Given it’s remote location, sunbeds cost 2 beds 1 umbrella 40 euros. So either bring your own or be prepared. The road to the beach is difficult terrain so be prepared with bad terrain shoes.

Beautiful (pebbly) beach; great coffee; 20-min, strenuous (due surface, elevation and the heat) walk to get to* but well worth the effort. *Or a nice 5€, 5-min boat ride, though often the queue for that takes as long as the walk.

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 !

Amazing lac & city You can walk / run around the lac. The view point on the mountains is just magic 🗻

Very nice lake! You can walk around or get in one of the boats that do tours in the lake and enjoy the calm atmosphere. It is quite big and the scenery with all the trees and the birds and swans is lovely. There are also many restaurants around the lake so that anyone can enjoy the view while having a coffee or a meal. I would visit it again.

A very beautiful place to visit.Lake Pamvotida is located in the city of Ioannina, Epirus, Greece. Around of the lake there is the castle of Ioannina which has 3.200 inhabitants inside and there are many cafe bars,restaurants and souvenir shops which have sight of the lake. You can take the ferry for a fast cruise to the island of Ioannina for a visit.It has Byzantine churches and the museum of Ali Pasa who was governor of the city during the Ottoman period.It has also restaurants and souvenir shops there.The ticket for this cruise costs 2€ per route. Worth a visit.

The beautiful lake of the Ioannina city, with many good food and drink options, around the lake. Also boat tours are available at the small and historical island of the lake (It is an inhabitable one, with museum, restaurants and cafe). Pictureque scenery, absolutely worth visiting.

We participated in the Lake Run for 30km with two friends! It was an unforgettable experience, and I wish to go again! Don't miss it

This is a really big lake! At night, it looks like there are islands in the middle, there are lots of camping spots around this lake. When you wake up in the morning, you will be able to see that those "islands" are tall grass. There are also lots of animals and big birds around this lake.

Definitely (one of) the highlights of Ioannina! Such a nice walk.

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

What a sight! Short hike along beautiful clear rock pools with the amazing local striated rocks. Recommend wearing sneakers if you plan to go far back. This place was great, cool in the shade. Formed through both natural and human made interventions.

Beautiful nature point on the road side to micro papaginko. Nature carved a small water way in between rock walls that are built from layers of straightstone plates. Now its end of September and there is only a very little amount of water yet it is enough to seat, listen and relax.

Imagine a landscape straight out of a fairy tale. Impressive rocks sculpted by nature, forming small, crystal-clear 'pools'. The feeling is magical, as if you're in a hidden secret of Pindos.

A beautiful game of nature in the heart of Pindos Mountains. The water made its way through the rocks the last 200 million years and made some breathtaking formations of stone. I guess in some years the water is more and in some others less, regarding how much it rained. So don't get disappointed if the water is less. Enjoy this majestical work of nature.

A beautiful landscape of successive natural pools formed within the rock by the constant flow of the stream. Hopefully it will keep on flowing.... Do respect the environment if you go. No littering, no sunblock in such delicate surroundings.

In the summer (Augest) the pools are not realy fool. There is 1 big pool that is great. Its fun to go as far as you could but at some point you need snapling equipment to continue. Its a great location sins its only 10 min walk from your car

A short walk to bathe in the cool river water and enjoy the natural rock pools. There were very few people there and it was very pleasant to explore the area

One of the BEST hotels I've ever stayed at. The staff are incredibly professional, friendly, and always willing to help. The service throughout the entire stay was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious—truly next level. The views, the beach, and the service provided there were beyond amazing. Everything about this place was perfect. HIGHLY recommended. We will definitely be returning!

This time my experience was completely different — and in the best way! The hotel is still wonderful, with its beautiful views, spotless rooms, and perfect location near the beach. But the biggest change was at reception: the gentleman who welcomed me was super friendly, helpful, and made me feel genuinely valued as a guest. It’s amazing how much a warm smile and kind attitude can elevate the whole stay. Well done I also want to make a special note of the guys who work in the bar-restaurant where breakfast is also served 🥞 They are very friendly and cordial, bravo to all of you. now everything matches the beauty of the place!

Fantastic service from we arrived until we left. If I could give more stars I would!! Help with luggage, always a smile and help when needed. Lovely room, with the most amazing view. Short walk into Parga, with lots of nice restaurants. Don’t miss out on Valtos Beach own restaurant though!! We had lunch there and it was really nice! Again the staff was really nice and helpful! Thank you for a lovely stay!

This hotel is very good due to its location and very friendly staff. The hotel itself is very modern and of a high standard. My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The food quality in the restaurant is very good and we enjoyed a lovely breakfast each morning in the nice setting next to the pool. The walk into Parga centre is approximately 15 minutes, however we stopped at Mikes bar for a cocktail which was a nice way of breaking up the journey. There is also the option of the little boat taxi which seems to be quite regular. As far as our room was concerned it was just ok. We had a two bedroom apartment which had lovely views to the sea and was quite spacious. There were a few things which let it down. Firstly the bathroom was quite old and dated and could do with modernising. We has a bathtub instead of a shower which meant standing in a bath which had a sloping bottom. It was a little dangerous stepping over the bath edge whilst standing on a slippy sloping surface. I couldn’t figure out how to fill the bath as it seems the water can no longer be diverted from the shower so the bath was useless anyway. Another thing to mention is that there were no full length mirrors anywhere in the apartment which my wife and daughter found to be a problem. The only mirrors available had no plug socket near so using a hairdryer was a challenge. We really loved the hotel and our stay here. We would happily stay here again but maybe would not book the two bedroom apartment.

Nice hotel with good service in Parga. Great location by the beach, but parking can be tricky if you don't find a lucky spot. Pool closed too early and food was just okay, overall good experience but felt overpriced.

The hotel is spotlessly clean, its fresh and modern. Quite clearly had some serious money spent on it. The staff are fantastic and cant do enough to help. However its not without its small problem, there were a few issues which let it down. We booked through TUI, (rated 3☆) and was expecting €2 room tax, but when we got there, its official rating is 4☆. We were there for 3 weeks, we truly didn't expect €210 room tax. This was a massive shock for us. Sunbeds: there aren't enough. If you want one, then get up at 7.30. (Otherwise forget it). Anyway they have hotel beds on the beach so not all's lost. And we actually prefer the beach anyway, However, these are charged at €15~20 per pair. So thats another €300, that we wasn't expecting. With no discount for hotel guests, and no 'eat in our restaurant ' incentive. Then when you do rent a hotel beach sunbed, you can't take your own food & drinks. The pool suffered an algal bloom of some sort. the water was murky green for at least a week to ten days. I wouldn't have let my dog swim in it, let alone guests. Our bathroom had an occasional foul smell. It would be fine for 3 or 4 days, then the next day it would be back. It would just come and go occasionally. I suspected the shower grid. In conclusion: ive no doubt it was rated 4☆ for a valid reason, but im not convinced that it should still be rated 4☆. It's probably the most modern and cleanest greek place we've stayed in, but i've stayed in just as good 3☆ establishments. We had a really nice time, but for what we spent and what we received, it could have been better.

We’ve been back for a third time and we just love this place. The staff, the hotel, the food, the location - everything. We love this place and will be back for sure.

Very nice beach with amazing scenery and turquoise water. There’s a little cocktail boat bar and paddle boards for rent. The walk through the water is absolutely worth it. I have to warn you however there are no sunbeds or restaurants. Also you have to be careful to not leave your food, because the local goats will eat it. Worth it for a family

It's a very interesting beach because it's on an island, so you have to go through the water to get there. The beach is pebbly and the water is shallow. It's very good for swimming and snorkelling. There is another small beach close by, which is accessible via a trail through the woods. It is also very beautiful. The main attraction is the goats that live there and are very friendly with tourists.

Perfect for kids. The middle beach area is the best with sand on the bottom. The right one is less crowded, excellent for padl boarding. You have to walk through the water to get to the beach area. It is reachable by boat.

Nice beach, nothing special. Nice walkable pass between the land and an island. Be careful of the goats! They come from the ambush and eat everything eatable you have taken with you on the beach. When they are in a feeding frenzy they don't give a damn about anything around them. Really anoying moment on the island. They show up from nothing.

interesting experience, until wild goats started coming :), worth visiting we explored the area with snorkles, some cove areas deeper have few garbage left and not a pretty site. There is a boat for drinks and food water is great and open beach with fantastic views and natural shade if wisited from afternoon.

A beautiful spot below Movenpick, with crystal-clear waters and soft sand. The highlight is the shallow stretch where you can wade across to a small island on foot—an experience that feels unique.

The two stars are for the natural environment and the experience of going to an island on foot...Other than that, you are in for an unpleasant surprise...the beach is dirty, the path to the second beach is filthy and filled with used paper towels after people wiped you know what...This alone makes you feel that sand and sea are also dirty...It's a shame...Avoid at all costs it really isn't worth it as there are so many (much better) options...

We went in May and there was a lot of rubbish all over the beach, big piles of broken seats and umbrella. Would recommend going to the next beach over, the water is just as nice but less rubbish

It was dirty and you pay 5€ for "private" parking and 10€ for and umbrella and 2 sits which are not even comfortable in ksamil you have with 10€ sits that feel like bed and free parking spots which are much better. Only nice for a picture in the corner of the sea but not worth so much money for it.

The sea is blueish but not the clearest or cleanest if we are being honest due to large waves caused partially by the wind and the passing-by boats. 20 euros for two sunbeds and an umbrella is an absolute rip off.

+: ok beach –: The main beach area was overcrowded — we were packed like sardines on a rocky shoreline. 🌟 But! If you’re up for an adventure: cross through the water on the left side of the beach, around the cliff, and you’ll reach Shpella e Pëllumbave — a much quieter spot with white sand and calm, clear water. Great for families with little kids.

The water is very clear but I couldn’t see any fish or interesting finds when snorkelling. It was very peaceful here and I easily spent s few hours here - safely leaving my belongings on the shore. The beach is pebbly so bring sea shoes if you have them. There are no desk chairs or umbrellas unless you bring your own, nor any refreshments. To get there my public transport you do need to time it right, otherwise get a taxi. The buses leave Butrint every hour at half past so they tend to reach Ksamil at 38-40 past. The bus takes about 7 mins and is 50 LEK, you can tell the conductor where you are going and they’ll tell you where to get off. On the way back buses leave Saranda at half past and tend to reach Pasqyra 20-25 minutes later. From the bus stop to the beach you will need to walk up and over a hill which is fairly loose so do bring decent shoes.

The road to the beach is very tricky. We paid 20 euros (2000 leke) for two sunbeds and one umbrella. There is beach bar you can use. For me, the beaches and the sea are better in Ksamil compared to mirror beach. The toilets of the facility are not clean. There is no lock on the doors of the changing cabins, and no hangers for towels. So, if you’re looking for comfort, this beach is not for you.

This beach was a big disappointment. They charge 20€ for an umbrella and two chairs – and that doesn’t even include mattresses. On top of that, they ask for 5€ for “private” parking, even though in reality you’re just leaving your car on the side of the road between bushes. The shower wasn’t working, and the whole place looks old, neglected, and in need of renovation. The only reason I’m giving 1 star is because the water was clean and the view was beautiful. Otherwise, definitely not worth the price.
