This is the most famous attraction in the area. There are two routes from the town of Karpenisi to this location: one goes via Psousos - Kastania - Rosa, which is a double longer route but mostly paved, with only the last 10 or so km being dirt roads; the other route passes through the village of Megalo Chorio, but according to Google maps, that stretch includes over 20 km of relatively hazardous dirt roads. In the clear, dry summer months, driving a two-wheel-drive vehicle on the 10 or so km of dirt road along the first route poses no problem, though care is needed at the many sharp turns. There is an iron bridge spanning the canyon, which can be driven across. The closest point to the canyon is 800 meters from the bridge, where parking is available, along with a picnic area with some tables. The path leading down to the canyon floor is not very obvious and requires some exploration to find. Once at the bottom, the hot summer day suddenly transforms into a cool, breezy environment. The valley floor is covered with various stones, and the water is quite cold. In some deeper areas, even on a hot and dry day, the water can reach waist level. It's a beautiful spot where you can fully enjoy nature and escape the scorching sun.

Breathtaking gorge near Karpenisi. In order to reach the spring one must walk through the gorge, which is an amazing but slightly demanding experience. You must watch your step while traversing the river, as the current can push you to your fall. When you reach the destination the view is worth the effort however. Waterproof shoes are strongly recommended.

Long drive from Karpenisi but definitely worth it!

always a good idea. but it's better to get there via Domnitsa, by car with front and rear wheels. good non-slip sandals. the journey in one direction takes 1 hour by walking on the water

Take the road from Kastinia, Prodromos and Roska. The road from Megalo Chorio is a lot more difficult to drive. Lots of loose rocks. If you cross the river north of the bridge, a few hundred metres up the road there is another road which gets closer to the river, assume this is the official parking / entrance. You are essentially walking down the river from this point so any safe path you can find down to the river will do! Walk in the water with your trainers - I found this the easiest.

One of the most beautiful places in Greece. Tough road to get here, but definitely worth it!

Excellent place, a lot of water even at end of semptember, although it hadn't rained for months, easy walk around 40 minutes from the bridge, the road via domnista in a very good condition. Take into consideration that when you reach the first waterfall you have to go inside deep water and continue, this place isn't panta vrechi!!!

A beautiful bridge, we used it to drive from Kyllini to Preveza area. The toll was 15.40 euro for a car one way, but there is no warning of the price until you're almost across. There are ferries as an alternate option although I don't know the price. A quick and easy way to travel.

A beautiful bridge, it is one of the longest cable stayed bridges in the world. We crossed over on our drive from Athens to Parga. The toll was €15.40 for a car each way. There are alsoferriess as an alternative option .

From wherever you look at this bridge, it is a triumph of design and elegance. We never get tired of looking at it or enjoying the breathtaking crossing.

The views are great, but the cost of crossing the bridge in September 2025 is already 15.40 euros one way.

It is a bridge erected in its grandeur, very beautiful and scary! It is in great condition, 4 stars for the high price it has and for the waiting in line to pay!

A true engineering masterpiece — a suspension structural solution.. viaduct bridge type with four towers, connecting the villages of Rio and Antirrio near Patras. Rio is my favorite place to go swimming. Right next to the castle, you’ll find a beach with two great spots: one facing the bridge (perfect when there’s no wind) and another on the opposite side, ideal when the sea is rough. There’s plenty of parking available. A must-visit location.. highly recommended!

Take a ferry instead! You will pay 7 euros per car and get a beautiful view of the bridge.

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. ☦️

Great archaeological site with a new little museum. Nice for a small walk and a great view on the gulf. The site itself is pretty well conserved. Be careful it’s not really accessible without a car.

Amazing fortification complex by any standard. There is much that is obvious. Massive bastions, imposing walls, crenelations, ramparts, towers, canon slots, gun slits, arrow slits, machicolations, and gatehouses. It's all here, and much of it scattered across the modern city, much of which has been built within the lower two layers of the -five in total- layers of the fortifications. What is less known is that the ancient fortification upon which what was now can see has been built was even larger than this massive construct of the early gunpowder era. Some of the ancient remains can still be seen by the inquisitive eye, especially on the upper levels. Here, there are also discernable remains of the medieval (Byzantine) era. For a time, this port was a base of the fleet of the Byzantine Empire. The very name of the city means shipyards. This is also supposed to be the place from where the descendants of Heracles, the Dorian tribe, ventured southward to conquer most of the Peloponnese, ousting or confining into smaller regions the other Greek tribes that were preceded them, mainly of course the Acaeans. When the city came into their possession, the Venetians did not fail to realize its advantages and went forth to renovate and enhance its defenses. This, along with one large bastion that was added by the Ottomans, is the image of the fortifications that we see today. Many sections of the lower town are accessible at all times and free to visit. Much walking is required in return for a visit to this spectacular fortification with great historical value and scenic views of rare quality.

AMAZING hidden little town! But be aware of the bridge’s toll ! Ask for the 4 hour pass-20 EUR instead of paying 15€ x2 ( 30€) for tur-retur. No-one will tell you you if you don’t ask …

Stunning place. Entrance is just 2-3 euros for adults. Their mini museum is very nice and clean. The staff was very kind and smily.

Amazing town off the beaten path. Lovely place for a visit, dinner or a drink while overlooking the picturesque harbor.

Magnificent view of the fields, town, sea and the bridge

Nice area, but shops are a bit over priced compared to other areas in Greece.

We arrived without reservation, but were able to book a tour anyway! The sight of the winery itself is already amazing, but the tour was the perfect finishing touch! A lovely tourguide guided us around speaking great English, and the tasting of 4 wines was amazing as well. The cellars with the kegs of wine was impressive and the smell inside delicious! I can definitely recommend this!

We are a traveling family with over than 130 million views on social media @manalbwehbeh One of the best tours ever Very nice Tasty and interesting Tasting 4 glasses Cost 18 or for each Kids frearound 30 minutes tour and then 30 minutes tasting Very nice people Don’t come to Patras without coming here!

We had the full tour in the winery, stuff was super friendly ready to answer any question and the wines that we tried were amazing! It is truly worth the visit!

My husband and I went there on a weekday and were pleasantly surprised by what this vineyard had to offer. You can take a free walk on the grounds of the property which is very scenic and beautiful or you can opt in for one of their guided tours that showcase the wine making process from 1861 until now and also offer wine tasting of 4-8 varieties depending on what package you choose. They have a very friendly staff that will serve you and also take some of those great photos. Overall a fantastic experience for scenery, tasting and learning the local history. I would recommend calling to reserve a guided tour before going. They speak Greek and English and it’s easy to follow.

Wonderful place to visit, taste and buy some of the best Greek wines. The tour guide, was given by a knowledgeable young lady who explained the history of the winery, the process of barrel making and the celars. Definitely worth the visit!

I dare to say that no trip to Patra in Greece is complete without a visit to Achaia Clauss Vineyard and Castle. The Vineyard surroundings and the Castle are majestic overlooking Patra and the sea. I suggest you make an appointment for both a tour of the cellars, and on the way down to the imperial cellar you will get a glimpse on the history of their cooperage. The imperial cellar has carved barrels back from the start with over a century old mavrodaphne wine. If you are lucky the wine tasting will take place in the Belle view cellar where you can see all their bottled wines, if not you will have a fantastic view of it from the floor of the bar and you can enjoy the view from the balcony. Fantastic wine and great staff, so don't miss it!

Was like we was in a fairy tale walking through the big wooden doors and beautiful estate. The lady who gave us a tour knew the history very well. The history is very rich and the museum with the wine barrels is amazing the smell of the old wine is addictive.

Great experience... totally recommend it. Don't go without reservation, they will most probably deny entry, flexibility is not the greatest asset. Underground part of the tour is well made, the video tour is just ok. Someone had the brilliant idea to present a film made for flat TV on some cylindrical surfaces, nevertheless worths the visit If you plan it in advance.

I arrived from Athens without even knowing that I need an appointment. The lady understood my situation and she helped me a lot. Amazing experience! I dont recommend to claustrophobic people

We had a great time! An experience that I recommend. We had two small kids, one 3 months old, absolutely impossible to use stroller, so be prepared to have a carrier, and another 2 years and a half, I have to say that they can be scared in the small vagon, because it is low ceiling, loud and fast, so prepared them, and tell them what will happen before going. I really appreciate that you learn with different type of activities, first the train and the recreation of mine scenery, then the audio guide and then the videos. I have to say that the way that the video is projected doesn't help, it's everything distorted, surely there are better ways to improve the experience. Plus unfortunately the last video was the most disappointing, because we where a group of 8 people, but none could understand a thing, it was too abstract and specific, I would have loved to hear more about what happens nowadays in the mine. Maybe following the rock that detaches from the mine till maybe a soda-can of aluminium or a piece of iron, seeing also the machines that they use today and where it is refined.

Amazing experience, perfectly organized! Staff is well-informed, genuinely kind and highly service-oriented. Telephone reservation is recommended when visting during busy periods (ie long weekends or public holidays). Full tour lasts 75’, including viewing of 2 films, visit to the mine & audio tour of museum.

A very well set and great experience for the kids too. Not sure if available in Eng or other languages though. I understand the hardships of making this a wheelchair accessible place. Best to RSVP. Great guides too - thanks!

It was truly an exceptional experience! I gained valuable knowledge, and the staff was outstanding—remarkably polite, friendly, and professional. I was genuinely impressed, making it one of Greece's best theme parks. Undoubtedly, a must-have experience!

🚃 Visiting Vagonetto, the aluminum museum near Amfissa, was truly a vivid experience. The short videos depicting the history of aluminum extraction, where workers used hand equipment, provided a fascinating insight into the industry's evolution. 👷🏼‍♂️The tour under the lodge, named "850" which means the level above Sea surface, with the old rail trail added a nostalgic charm, making the visit both educational and immersive. 👉🏼Highly recommended for those seeking a unique blend of history and hands-on exploration!

Sadly enough nearly all of the videos were only in Greek, no subtitles. Off course the text boards were in both Greek and English, but perhaps English subtitles would be a good idea, giving more feel of what happened here.

One of the best museums in Greece. It has a good mix of historical evidences, testimonies of the survivors, digital archives, collection of personal items of the martyrs, letters etc. The set up of the exhibition and the presentation was exceptional. The museum is within the school which was an important part of Kalavryta’s history. It is definitely worth a visit.

4 euros entry worth to main such a museum!!! Loved the videos and the whole presentation!

Very well documentation of the touching history of this horrific days. Thank you for showing and preparing. We were very moved and went also to the memorial hill.

It is a small museum of 4 rooms, but I think it is essential to understand well the history of kalavrita, there are some videos with some witnesses of the German olocaust. It doesn't have cruel images, but I won't suggest it for children. I suggest to visit it immediately when you get off the train.

Excellent museum that tells the terrible story of the 13 December 1943 atrocities against the people of Kalavrita. The building was the town’s school, where the population was gathered, and then separated forever. The displays and videos are extremely moving.

Amazing museum that gives you a full sight of the chronicle of the slaughter of people that stayed in Kalavryta by the nazis during the second world was! Really emotional was the fact that there are several monitors with videos with testimonies from survivors! It was very touching! Definetely recommended if you find yourself in Kalavryta!

This great monastery began as a reclusive abandon for monks seeking solitude and serenity for their prayers. They found this within the impressive cave. Gradually, more arrived, and they started building, and it gradually evolved into the massive complex we see today. At some part, as is most common with monasteries of the late medieval times, the accumulation of wealth (offerings of the pious) and provisions (the produce of the lands of the monastery, cultivated by monks residing within) attracted invaders. Thus, they evolved not only as communities but also as defensive structures. The tower just to the left of the main entrance to the yard tells part of this story. Its height, with arrow slits at all levels, bespeaks of its function with profane eloquence. The overall site is an outstanding natural landscape with wonderful architecture and a magnificent view. It is also easy to visit and requires little time. Therefore, believer or not, it's well worth a stop.

One of the oldest, if not the oldest, monastery in Greece.. it is built on a cliff of a mountain.. for sure what we see now isn't how it was.. they renovated the monastery in 2013 last time. As you can imagine the monastery has a lot of history so you can read a book about it. Road is good to go up there. It is free for Greek orthodox , I don't know if you need a ticket for the foreign tourists... But It is logical, we pay for tickets when we visit abroad places. So tourists must not complain.

Very good experience, the church inside is amazing, the cavern is an experience. Road to reach this place is pretty full of turns….by car is OK, by bus I do not think so….

We stopped by this monastery on the way, just 30 minutes before closing. Inside the monastery, there is a small cave, but nothing too special. However, if you go up the path to the right of the monastery and go through a small gate, you’ll find a trail with amazing views of the valley. We walked quite far along it, and the views were really beautiful. Highly recommended!

Monastery Mega Spileon is a decent quick stop if you're in the area. About half an hour from the highway, you're looking at roughly a 20-minute visit to see everything. The monastery itself is kind of nice but not too exciting. There's a small museum with some religious artifacts, though nothing particularly memorable. What makes the trip worthwhile are the views - they're genuinely great and amazing. The monastery's location offers beautiful panoramic vistas that are definitely worth photographing. Overall, it's a reasonable quick stop for the scenic views, but don't expect it to be a highlight. Worth a brief visit if you have extra time, but not a destination in itself.

The Holy Monastery of Mega Spileon is magnificent - packed with history, spirituality, and dramatic natural setting. A must-visit.

We checked this place online and it said it’s free entrance so we jumped in a car and drove an hour to see a monastery. We were so excited, enjoyed breathtaking views all along our way. When we got inside and were enjoying nice art inside a museum we were greeted by a monk who told us that it cost 3 euros each to be there. We did not have any cash and he told us that in mountains nobody takes credit cards which is not true because everyone else had no problem with it. He basically asked to leave… so disappointing … and misleading…

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.

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's located right next the archaeological site of accient Delphi. It is one of the most significant museums in Greece. It's collections offer an invaluable window in to yhe religious political history of Delphi, the sanctuary of the Oracle of Apollo.

Its pretty good however not the best museum I've been to. As for the archeological site, i would recommend enjoying stairs and not having knee or ankle problems.

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

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.

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

Incredibly well preserved with inspirational 10th and 11th century frescoes. The Byzantine architecture was astounding. Access to the two churches was unimpeded. Very nice museum included with early Christian artifacts. Stunning views. Well worth a visit.

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

One of the most amazing things ive seen in Greece. The guide was entertaining in both Greek and english. Paved and well lit. I took my family and they loved it. Would go back a third time.

Hidden gem in Arcadia! Stunning natural formations, fascinating history and an overall magical atmosphere. But what truly made our visit special was our amazing tour guide: kind, incredibly knowledgeable and so passionate about her work. She didn’t just share facts she brought the cave’s history to life with the way she spoke. A big bravo to the entire team, it’s clear they love what they do. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it, it’s absolutely worth the visit!

Our tour guide Pat was great!! So knowledge and a great personality. Passionate about caves and nature. Great experience and worth the trip!

Sometimes you go somewhere and you aren't sure what to expect.. here this cave surprised us in a gold way.. first of all they offer guide tour.. around an hour it will take you.. big enough cave with very interesting things to see ... And very interesting things to hear from the tour guide.. we really enjoyed every second with spend to this cave. We will definitely come back again during spring time when it will have more water inside the cave.

We originally thought it was closed. It looks abandoned. Then you go to the cafe and wait for a tour group to start. The guide Savas is simply amazing. He makes the cave come to life

Loved the tour through this spectacular cave, felt like I got to the heart of Arcadia. The guide, Savas, is just so passionate and talented that you are going to love it too. They are opened only during the first half of the day and they organize tours every half hour. The last one is at 14,30. I am not posting more photos because the live experience is completely worth it. The ticket is not much, only 6 euros.

20,000,000 years old Cave that keeps one of the most magnificent sculptures of Mother Nature! I can't thank enough Christina Liadi, the Cave Tour Guide, who showed us everything with such excitement and thrill on every step we made with her inside and outside the Cave! We will definitely revisit as we couldn't get enough of this remarkable place! I highly recommend it to all ages! 🌺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

Fascinating, absolutely fascinating! I'd read about Mycenae very many years ago while learning a little of Greek history and Mythology. This visit brought it all to life in the present day. Wonderful!

I dunno about others, but for me this place had a bit if a Machu Picchu vibe, just much more ancient. Two major highlights are the gates at the entrance and the tunnel at the end of the trail. And walls itself. How they were able to build with only correct calculations of placing those big stones. The museum is small, but my kids loved tiny details there.

This is a must see for anyone who has ever read Homer. You get to walk through the Mycenaean Kingdom, just like Agamemnon did. The museum and the city site that accompany this tholos are amazing. When you buy a ticket for one, it works in both locations.

A few minutes away from the Lion Gate, this large tholos (beehive tomb) was constructed between 1300 and 1250 BCE; became an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. The sound inside the dome is beautiful.

This magnificent Tholos (vaulted) Tomb is the second in size and the best preserved of the great ancient Greek civilization of the bronze age we know today as Mycenean. Though many call it the tomb of Agamemnon, the well-known Anax (king) whose name and renown has come to us through the works of Homer, it predates the period of his reign by some decades (1300-1250 BC). Thus it most likely belongs to his renowned father, Anax Atreus, a powerful ruler whose exploits were overshadowed by the great feats of his son. Its architectural perfection is impressive. The stonework is massive as well as masterful, proving that the Myceneans could work, carry, lift and apply stones of gargantuan proportions (the slab over the door frame exceeds 120 tons) when they deemed it necessary. Once within the tomb, the vault is no less wondrous; in addition to its stability, it offers an impression of a stary sky. Easy to access and with no additional charge (one ticket for the main site, the museum and this tomb).

An amazing structure from early Greek history, the bronze agree. It's great to be inside, if you can avoid the bus crowds.

A beautifully preserved Myceneaen Tholos tomb dating to early in the LHIIIB period (circa 1300-1250BCE). It is the largest corbelled dome in the world, and until the Roman period around 1000 years later it was the largest dome anywhere in the world. Don't be fooled by the Homeric name assigned by 18th century western travellers, this late Bronze Age site deserves to be appreciated on its own merits. It is a shame that the facade was taken by Elgin, you will have to visit the British Museum to see the marble decorations that once adorned the outer part of the stomion.

Didn't know what to expect & wow! Few minutes walk from carpark had you at the stunning entrance ti the Treasury. Once you enter the beehive shaped stone structure, you immediately wonder how! 20euros well spent.

Just off the road before the big Myceanean site (or do it after on the way back)..magnificent tomb and the build is amazing...worth a quick stop 😁

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.

Wandering through Ancient Corinth felt like stepping into a half-remembered dream. The worn columns and fragments of marble seem to whisper stories rather than display them. It’s not just a collection of ruins — the air itself feels textured with age. The small museum nearby ties everything together with quiet elegance, making the visit feel thoughtful rather than rushed.

Ancient Korinth is an incredible place to visit! We absolutely loved exploring the site — it’s full of history, stunning ruins, and breathtaking views. The atmosphere was peaceful yet powerful, and walking through such an ancient place was truly unforgettable. Highly recommend it — it’s AMAZING! 🏛️✨

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!

So much to see and learn....signage good, but could be better. Being there, envisioning the Apostle Paul sharing the Gospel,made the Scriptures come alive. Much larger area, than I anticipated.

Nice place to visit with amazing views and great with historical richness. Entrance is 15 Euros per person. There are free admissions for certain people. Free parking lot nearby.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

An amazing human construction. It is still incomprehensible to me how they were able to build this at the end of the 19th century with the technical capabilities of the time, based on the plans of Hungarian architect István Türr. It is worth walking across the bridge. And if you are lucky, you might even catch someone bungee jumping from a height of 60 meters. One criticism is that the site is not adequately signposted with information.

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!

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.

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.

It it really is one of the most beautiful sights in Greece not far away from Athens 1 hour drive. Truly mesmerizing and if you are up for the bungee jumping experience that's another plus

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.

Awesome view of the city of Nafplio from the firetress on top of the hill. The foretress itself is well built and has some interesting stories behind it.

Definitely worth a visit for the views. There’s 2 ways to go up. Can either go by car or climb the stairs. The climb looks more daunting than it is. Casual pace can take around 20min. I recommend going in the morning so your in the shade during the climb. Depending on time of year take a bottle or water and wear a hat especially during hotter times of year. No drones allowed on site. It also says no cameras but there was a few people inside with them… If you want to explore everything casually you would need roughly 2 hours. Last entrance is 20min before closing time. Entrance is €20 per person. There’s also a snack bar but nearly everything is inflated other than the 500ml water which is 50 cents. Take your time and enjoy the views. There’s lot to see and explore.

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.

Great place for families. Lots of sand, swimming for every age, clean beach and sea.

Great beach, but the Bartender at one of the main coffee and lunch spots is marginally not pleasant. Despite having good products and good waiters, the Barista is as I said , not ideal. Beach is great, sea is Greek and the sun is as always glorious.

Overall a good beach to spend time and enjoy the sea. Sandy beach with clear water, 5 minutes by car from the city. It is big and there are some spots with shade. The only thing that I didn't like is that you can find a lot of cigarette butts in the sand and some trash here or there.

Great beach with a lot of free space, only a few sunbeds disrupt the beauty of this place! ( :

This was my favorite beach 5 years ago. It’s not as clean as it used to be. And chairs are now more high price with less accommodation

Beautiful beach with the option to shower after a swim. There are some bars and restaurants nearby. Parking is easy, and a few trees provide shade if you don’t have a sun umbrella. The water is clear and the beach is sandy. But be aware—there are still some rocks with sea urchins in the shallow water! It can be quite windy, but the view makes up for it!

Beautiful beach with sand, very clear and not deep water. Don't miss Karathona beach.

The beach was amazing. They had very comfortable loungers at affordable prices with nice cushions. They had a large variety of drinks and food, and it was very comfortable. When the sun hit us, they kindly put up an extra umbrella so that we could be in the shade.The water was amazing absolutely stunning and we super enjoyed our day. I can’t recommend it enough.

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.

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

I had been here for a show at night, so wasn't sure what to expect in the daylight. But i was pleasantly surprised. The acoustics are amazing, your voice sounds amplified when you speak in the centre of the stage. It is almost unnerving. I would recommend a visit.

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!

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.

Just one of the most beautiful antique theatre in the world, actually maybe Number One. An incredible place, a perfect acoustic creation in the middle of a wild nature. A definitely don’t miss site of Greece !!

The sea is shallow and sandy and beautiful, however the beach is FULLL OF RUBBISH. Take your plastic bottles and rubbish home with you visitors. Also there are bins at the car park so use those. We came in 2020 and in 2022 and in the 2 years the beach has got filthy. The cafes on the beach should help keep it clean, so should all visitors. STOP LEAVING RUBBISH PEOPLE

Sandy beach with very clean ans shallow waters! The beach is organised so you can find sun beds and umbrellas. There is one restaurant and a cantene, both offering excellent service to the beach when it comes to drinks. For food you may find local food at Benito's cantene (must try gavros) or you may pay a visit the restaurant next door! Both are equally good. Safe place for kids to play and easy access by car

I really don’t understand what people see at this beach. The sand is so fine that it gets in all of your cracks…even the ones that you didn’t know you had. The beach lacks showers. How this can be, it’s simply beyond my understanding. Toilet? Forget about it or better yet go in the sea. Changing rooms? Don’t make me laugh. If you are expecting basic amenities just skip this beach

Crystal water and beautiful white sand, but the beach needs a lot more tender loving care… if you want sun beds, you’d better book in advance

Lepitsa Beach is a fantastic place. The water is crystal clear, emerald, and has a sandy bottom, where you can swim without difficulty. Entry into the water is easy and suitable for everyone. Equipped beach with possibility of renting sunbeds and umbrellas. And for the hottest hours, small pine forest with lots of shade. Then there are Mpenito and Olga, two historical and very friendly figures of Lepitsa, who with their kantina prepare excellent food all day. It's a unique place for me!

Nice Beach with clear and incredibly warm water Probably one of the best beaches in the area

Beautiful beach.... Water starts getting deep after 100m. Nice restaurant with service at the beach and also a very good and cheap fast food truck there.

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!

The water Is Amazing. The view too. But 20€ for a set of 2 beds and umbrella, on a beach that doesn't offer neither a toilet is really too much for Greece. Come here, take pictures, take a swim and just move to another beach. Or just take a bed for 5 euros and lay under the trees.

Wow wow wow! Amazing beach! Clear water, amazing view, not crowded at all and also offers beverages in good price! The best beach in Agisteri island! This place is a must see. You should rent a scooter and arrive to this beach. Really recommend it - feels like Thailand.

Beautiful beach with amazing waters and nice places under pine trees to put your towels and lie down. You can get there with electric bikes or cars motorcycles but I suggest not get normal bikes due to hills.

Dragonera Bay in Agistri is absolutely stunning! We spent the night at anchor — if there’s no wind, it’s simply perfect. In the morning, we hiked trail A4 through the forest, which leads to a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the other side of the island. A magical and highly recommended spot!

Really beautiful clean beach with clear water to swim or snorkel. I walked there and it was a pleasant enough walk but many hire bikes

Very nice lesser known beach, much less crowded than Aponissos and less touristy. Set of cushion sunbeds + umbrella for 20€, nice view and nice waters. The beach is cobbly, so it might be better to have water shoes. The beach bar has few food options and no toilet, so be prepared for that. It’s overall more of a gem for locals and people with cars, but it’s really beautiful, especially at sunset.

Great pebble beach with lots of natural shade provided by trees. Unfortunately the bar is obnoxious and around 5PM they start playing loud music (they play music throughout the day but not so loud). No showers. Parking is easily available.
