We had an unforgettable evening tour with Quad Safari Crete, taking us through charming, authentic villages and beautiful landscapes — all under the expert and entertaining guidance of our amazing guide, Mr. Sexy (yes, that’s what he calls himself, and it suits his charismatic personality perfectly!). The tour was both exciting and informative. Along the way, we learned about local culture and the history of olive oil production, which Mr. Sexy explained with great knowledge and humor. You could really feel his passion for the region and its traditions. The final part of the ride was absolutely magical — driving through the landscape in the dark, lit only by our ATV headlights and the stars above. It created an unforgettable atmosphere. All in all, a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and great company. We can highly recommend Quad Safari Crete Peninsula to anyone looking to experience a different and authentic side of Crete — and of course, meet Mr. Sexy, who truly is the cherry on top!

Such an amazing experience! We had the best time, it’s so worth the money and the tour guides are excellent. We want to thank ‘Mr Sexy’ for making it such a fun tour to do on our last day of our holiday.

What an incredible time quad biking! From start to finish, the staff were incredibly professional, witty, and genuinely funny, making for a fantastic atmosphere. We chose the sunset ride, and it lived up to all expectations – the views as the sunset over the ocean were absolutely stunning and unforgettable. The first stop was the local olive mill (Striligkas olive mill and museum), which is a brilliant place to visit in its own right, even if you don't take a quad tour. Can't recommend this place enough! Thank you!!

Had a great morning on the Quad bikes, the tour guide ‘Mr Sexy’ was super helpful and funny. First stop was at the Olive Mill where we got to do some tasting and they have lots of different oils available to purchase at such a good value. Second stop was to a ghost village and then the final stop was home to a famous painter - the gyros and fresh orange juice is amazing. Great views throughout the quad biking experience, definitely an experience worth doing while on holiday!

Had amazing time with Quad Safari Peninsula today! A lot of adrenaline , beautiful views and cool information about olive oil production and traditional village life. Our guides did great job providing safety and comfortable travel around the city. And making this trip funny and easy. Special thank you to the Fathi and his team. We want to come back again. If you stay in the aria you for sure must try this tour! 💫

The tour took us on beautiful scenery, and the different stops at the ghost town and olive oil museum were also exciting. Special shoutout to ‘Mr. Sexy’, our tour guide who made this trip even more fun!

Glad I booked it!! It was one of the tours i really enjoyed and want to do again, the staff were really helpful and fun especially ''nadhir dhaouadi'' he made it much more easier and enjoyable. The breath taking views the smooth ride with everything else was just perfect. Worth trying

Absolutely recommended! Very professional, the team is welcoming, the diving base is well equipped. Everything you need to have a safe and enjoyable diving experience. The dive sites offer a lot to see. Really deserves the five stars!

Simply put: YMTI - You Must Try It. I went for the Open Water Diver Course and it was even better than I'd expected. The total price is 550 Euro - 190 for PADI registration and 360 for 9 total dives, including all the equipment. Joan was an amazing instructor, along with the rest of the team. They focused on teaching rather than simply checking boxes, which added to the overall enjoyment because I felt safe learning with them, even at 18m under water. The communcation over email was great, the scheduling was on point and it made me wanna try the advance course next year. I hope to come again and dive with them. All the best and StayWet!!

We would like to thank the dive center and our guide Oliver for the great and friendly experience. We had two dives on SA, October 18, 2025. The reception, preparation, briefing and dive were very relaxed compared to other dive centers with a very hectic schedule. During the dive we were able to see great rock formations, baracudas, octopus, lionfish and various other things. All in all, highly recommended.

Very profesional team. The highest quality service. Every beginner gets individual instructor for all diving session (special thanks to Kevin😁). Good price and quality ratio.

Me & my son did an introductory dive and couldn’t have been happier. Super friendly & helpful team. Turns out I’m a nervous diver, but Kevin was brilliant and helped calm me down so after a couple of false starts I completed the whole dive. If you’ve ever considered trying scuba diving, do it! It’s an amazing experience and the folks at Stay Wet are brilliant - they explain everything really clearly, walk you through the process & equipment and you’re never alone in the water throughout the dive. Just remember to take crocs for the walk across the pebbly beach to get into the sea!

Amazing diving experience, led by a fantastic team! Would recommend to anyone interested in diving. Knowledgeable and friendly team, who speak really good English. The two dives I did as part of the Discover Scuba Diving course were brilliant - reasonably priced, good equipment, clear instructions, super clear waters and lots of sea life to take in. So peaceful under the water, definitely an experience everyone should try! Only feedback I would have is the website could do with some improvement - more and clearer information on the dives and a better online booking system as the website was showing no availability but when I checked in person, I was able to book on. It is also a shame there isn’t more marketing/advertising for the centre - there must be a lot of really good content that can be shown off on instagram/tiktok.

A great experience to have at least once in a lifetime. The crew was great, helpful and with a good vibe. The price is 150€ for 2, without transport and photos, we had pick up and drop off from the hotel for 10 euro extra per person. Anyway, we had a great experience in the company of a great crew, and even if I would have loved to get some more pictures, I strongly recommend.

We had an excellent experience with CretanTaxi and Nikos himself. The service was perfectly on time, the car was clean and new, and communication was nice and professional. Feels more like a trusted local contact than just a taxi. Highly recommend!

Cretan Taxi has been a good experience for us. We have booked regular transfers to and from both Herakleon and Chania airport during our visits to Crete. They have always been on time. Waiting for us with a sign. The cars are clean. Our driver was always pleasant giving us good general information of places of interest. They always drove very nicely which is important as I’m a nervous passenger. We used then when we did not rent a car to do local trips to Rethymno Old Town or to places of interest. I highly recommend the company.

We have been working with Niko/Cretan taxi Panormo for over 12 years & I can tell you he is no 1! Niko is reliable, punctual, trust worthy, a nice person, all his cars are well looked after and he speaks English. In a nutshell, I highly recommend Niko & Cretan taxi Panormo.

Highly recommended! Professional service, always on time. Our driver was very polite and helpful, with a big smile!

Very professional and always in a timely matter. Very knowledgeable on the best locations to visit on the island. Most important very clean car !

Great taxi service in Crete! Amazing service from Heraklion airport to Panormo.

Excellent services by professionals in luxury transportation... I highly recommend Chetan Taxi...

Nice calm and relaxing beach. The sand gets really hot. There's some small cliffs that provide some shade if you go in the mornings.

Amazing beach. My favorite beach accessible by car in Milos. Beautiful colored pebbles and hot sand. Boats were available for rental. We rented a private boat with driver in the view was stunning with amazing places to swim.

Beautiful beach, very easy to access and there is sandy areas and rock areas. There are quite a few rocks towards the left side of the beach and the current was strong.

Great beach in Milos. If you booked one of the hotels nearby, it's in walkable distance. Note that we went in September and the water was pretty cold.

The part where the umbrellas, restaurant and lifeguard are is not very exciting. The sea is clean and lovely but not very interesting. If you swim to the right you get to another beach with umbrellas and a cafe, and lots of rocks / mini caves for snorkelling. That side is cool!

Beautiful NOT WINDY long beach with crystal waters and thin sand. Since it is covered by a rock wall, it is not windy and the waves are not strong. Went in November. There is a very pleasant restaurant on the beach which makes it easy to get a lunch break and spend the entire day at the beach.

The deeper you dig in the sand, the hotter it gets, because of volcanic vents underground. If you dig deep enough you can boil water. This is a beautiful beach and a geological wonderland.

Nice beach with clear water and sand starting from the cliff. For us it was a great option after a visit to Tsigrado beach. Overall it is nice but closer to other beaches you find in many different places around the world.

best beach on Milos island. You can easily hire kayak in case of no wind and reach Tsigrado within 10 minutes.

The only sharks here are the ones offering to rent beach chairs for €20. Shame on them!

Some people said that it was the most beautiful beach in Milos, and though it was magnificent, I just found other beaches to be better. But definitely a must visit in Milos

The water is beautiful but unfortunately the beach club is playing very load EDM music with strong bass that spread all over the beach so it is not relaxing at alö. Also there is no toilet at all on this beach nor the beach club. The service at the beach club is very poor, no waiting list and waiters randomly attributing longchairs or even prioritising their friends.

Very beautiful beach! Now (Jun-July) the climate can be very hard, with moments of overwhelming hot interrupted with strong wind blows that break and blow off your umbrella (and cover you a bit on sand, as it’s very fine). Sand is clean. Recommend a kayak trip from here from the beach itself. A nice natural arch made by a rock with a crack in between, where you can swim throughout. With low wind the sea is calm and not much sand in suspension in the water: the sea is a swimming pool on these conditions, absolutely amazing. Bring your own beers, as the new bar on the beach is extremely expensive.

Really nice beach especially during the sunset is very romantic. The water is very clean but is possible to find a lot of people here.anyway the beach deserve the visit. It is mandatory.

A beautiful island getaway. Andreas was extremely welcoming and made sure we had what we needed to feel settled and at home. The location has a beautiful view of the sea and easy to access to the town.

Andrea’s place is cozy, spacious, and phenomenal views. Walking distance to town and the port. Book this place and enjoy all Pollonia has to offer. Restaurants nearby did not disappoint. Be sure to book Andrea and George’s boat tour. Best morning/afternoon I had during my week in Greece. Unique experience, food was outstanding, and they take you to truly untouched and raw locations. They also make you feel like family the entire experience!

Yasu, we have visited Andreas&Brigitte again :) After 5 years we were there as two families together with children and we have found it as we left! Yet again, we were amazed by the fantastic location of this authentic and sweet Milos House. There in Pollonia over the hill, you could see the sea from both sides of the house, which is very special! Brigitte and Andreas are very kind and friendly people. Also the cats are not to be forgotten ;) Additionally Andreas' Boat Tour with Perseas is a highlight for those, who seek an authentic journey with an old fisher boat over the island of Kimolos. Andreas shows you there amazing bays with beatiful water (unfortunately fully parked by luxury yachts in the mean time, pity...) but keeps you waiting until he reaches his special lonely bay with hungry goats and his amazing barbecue. Olive oil + lemon: That is the key! I will steal that receipt, Andreas ;). This is a very special treat! Efaristo poli! I wish Andreas and Brigitte all the best and hope to see them next time! Yasas! (Co-pilot Burak)

Really wonderful place, and the hosts Andreas and Brigitte are absolutely lovely. They brought us vegetables from their farm, and a gift too! Really great people who are accommodating and welcoming. Would really recommend, and also recommend Andreas Cruises Perseas, he has a beautiful boat he takes out to sea and shows you some pretty unknown spots with wild goats!

This place is absolutely amazing thanks to its gorgeous view! The studio was perfect for us, to cook a bit and admire the sunset. it was comfortable and so quiet… very easy to walk to Pollonia and to the beach. Many sweet cats around to welcome you :) thank you Brigitte and Andreas!

We had an unforgettable time at Andreas rooms. Andreas, his wife, their son George, and their outdoor cats are a super kind family who welcomed us with open arms. If you are looking for a peaceful place to relax while listening to the calming sound of the waves and watching stunning sunsets on your private porch, go ahead and book this place. We rented their studio for a week and although we spend most of our time either relaxing on the porch or exploring the island, we found that it had all the essentials we needed. The studio is equipped with a small fridge, a hot plate, pots and cooking utensils, a warm shower, cold AC, a closet and a laundry line outside to hang your clothes etc. The studio was cleaned daily, so we did not have to worry about sweeping the floor or making the bed. Andreas generously gifted us a ton of delicious fresh vegetables and fruit from his garden. He also was happy to answer all of our questions about Milos and even guided us to two beautiful beaches closeby which are not on the typical tourist map. Thank you again Brigitte, Andreas, and George for this magical time! We hope to come back and stay with you again soon!

This is the best place to stay in Pollonia ,Milos.We stayed in room 4,top floor in July,2023 and we are very lucky that we found that place.Everything was perfect.Nice studio with a fully equipped kitchenette,comfortable double bed,nice bathroom.Cleaning service every day.The real treasure is the terrace with magnificent sea view in both sides.Even when it is hot you feel the sea breeze when you sit on the terrace.So calm ,we enjoyed the sun set every evning.Brigitte and Andreas are very nice couple, tolerant,invissible,but always there to help.There is also a place in front of the house where you can park your car.Everything is close-the beach,taverns,supermarket You can go in 5 min.And when we left Andreas gave us a small present-a statue of Venus de Milo,which will remind us for the island and for Brigitte and Andreas.It was really so cute.I recommend the place,I would give it 10 stars if I could.Thank you Brigitte and Andreas!

Such a nice place. We went on a windy day and it wasn’t nice to go for a swim. The views are amazing. There are a lot of caves with long corridors inside- really impressive. The water looks amazing and you can spend 1-2hours just walking around. Free of charge. There is free parking. No easy access for handicapped.

A must go place in Milos. Better visit it in the morning with better sunlight and lesser people. Highly recommended to wear water shoes for easy walking and getting back to shores after swimming. Water is quite cold in October

Amazing spot. Loved swimming there. There are some caves as well. Highly recommended! Easy to get there by local bus (2euro) from the port. Lots of tourists- FYI

Went here twice during our weeklong visit to Milos! This place is out of this world — definitely one of my favorite watering holes ever. I’d recommend going for sunrise or sunset to avoid the crowds.

Sarakanikio is truly a sight to behold, with its unique lunar-like landscape. The white volcanic rocks and turquoise waters create a striking contrast, offering an unforgettable visual experience. It's a place where yoy can feel a sense of tranquillity and awe. It's a fantastic spot for sunbathing and swimming. This natural wonder is a testament to the raw beauty of our planet. Overall, it's a must-visit location for anyone seeking a memorable coastal experience.

Absolutely stunning! A must do in Milos. Went at sunrise and it can get crowded throughout the day, but totally worth it. Also, if you go explore farther to left you’ll be able to get away from the more touristy areas!

Sarakiniko, Milos, is an otherworldly destination that captivates all who visit. The "moon-like" landscape, with its wind and water-sculpted white volcanic rock, is truly breathtaking. It's a photographer's paradise, offering endless opportunities for stunning shots, especially during sunrise or sunset when the light paints the stark white stone with warm hues. The contrast of the brilliant white against the deep blue of the Aegean Sea is simply mesmerizing. Beyond its visual appeal, Sarakiniko is a place to create memories. It’s perfect for a romantic stroll or a tranquil moment of reflection. The smooth, wave-carved rocks invite exploration, and the small coves provide perfect spots for a refreshing dip. Whether you're an avid photographer or just seeking a unique and serene experience, Sarakiniko is an absolute must-see on any trip to Milos. It's more than just a beach; it's a geological wonder and a memory-making masterpiece.

I didn’t quite u destined this is not accessible by a car or a buggy and drove all the way out to see it only to find a single track hiking trail. I guess I should have researched this better. The road to get to it is pretty rough as it is first a paved road and then a dirt road. Then it gets pretty rough and then to find out I don’t get to see without hiking was disappointing. Next time I come to see the island I will arrange a boat tour to see this!

A boat trip to Kleftiko is an absolute must-do while visiting Milos. We did a catamaran trip with Polco Sailing and it was one of the best days we had in Greece. The water is clear and warm, the history of the area is so interesting, and the rock formations are stunning.

Really the best way to get here is through a boat tour. I went with a great group. The waters were clear and fairly calm. Since it's October it was fairly chilly but the sun was shining so the cool water was welcome.

Beautiful spot in Milos that can only be reached by boat. Enjoyed anchoring and spending the afternoon there, swimming, and taking in the beauty of the rock formations

go by car and then walk on the designated road, I assume that 90% of the length of the car road is better quality than anywhere else on the island. We went with a Fiat Panda without any problems. When we arrived on foot at the shore, the boat tourers were surprised how we got there on foot...

An incredible place with a wonderful view. A must if you have the chance to come here. The landscape, the color of the water, the energy. Everything.

Absolutely stunning! My husband and I made the hike down and brought our goggles with us. We were able to swim to the caves and have a great snorkeling experience, as well as comfortably relax on in the private rock area at the end of the hike. Definitely recommend!

Took a while to get there from Athens but it is worthy. It was very cloudy that day so the sunset was not really visible. But it os amazing how the ancient Greeks decide to honor Poseidon in such a magnificent place. The nice thing was there was a holiday in Greece and the entrance was free!

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

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

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

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

We went early November which was peaceful. Paid €20 on entry. Loads of info round the site and lots of benches to contemplate and admire the view of the temple and out to sea

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

Very cool beach! 20 euro round trip boat ride from Hydra port to get to Nikolaos beach. The beach was rocky and had great seating/umbrellas, a cute shack for food/drinks, and small bathroom. No large permanent building. Very quiet cove for swimming. We bought snorkels in town and enjoyed seeing all the fish in the cove.

Beautiful and quiet spot with warm water with colorful fish and octopuses. If you would like to take a break from lovely swimming spots in the town take a boat ride to this beach. It is 20 min. by taxi boat.

My favorite beach in Hydra. You can come here by boat. Boat tickets 20€ /2025 sunbed I think 35€ 2 beds. I kerp this price expensive when you travel alone because you must pay from 2 beds even you need one bed. 30-40 min by boat from Hydra port.

In a word, one of the most beautiful seas I’ve ever swum in. We visited in mid-September and it was very peaceful—calm, with crystal-clear turquoise water and an amazing variety of fish🐠🐟 There’s a small snack bar with food and drinks available. Definitely recommended for a really enjoyable day! 🩵🩵

Amazing beach with clear, blue water! €20 roundtrip by boat. €30 for a set of two sunbeds and an umbrella — though I personally find that a bit overpriced.

Pebble beach, no shower, disgusting outdoor toilet and awful food. 20€ per person for the boat taxi, 20€ each sunbed, 17€ for a sad looking club sandwich with potato chips from a bag. Worst thing I ever ate in Greece. 3 stars for the beautiful scenery and ocean. We will never return.

Great place Captive once you get here Return boats 4:30 and 5:30 at least from 1 September

Eu 25 for pair of loungers which is a fair price and they were reasonably comfortable. People say it is quiet but they fired up a noisy generator after we arrived and it stayed on all day. You can’t seem to escape noise these days, I was eventually able to tune it out but I would not call it quiet for that reason. The ride there and back was very pleasant. What I liked most was that there was plenty of shade under the trees available which is great if you enjoy a sea veiw without being fried. To the owners: You probably don’t notice the generator noise anymore but we visitors looking for peace and quiet do. You can buy much quieter generators these days. Lady in charge was freindly.

The best beach on Hydra we've visited so far! According to Google Maps and comments, reachable only by boats (17€ per person both ways, leaving usually at full hours), however (if to believe the sign on the beach) you can try hiking (if you have about 5 hours to spare). An enchanting beach, hard to compare to others on the island - with its trees generously offering their shadow and the rocks and caves creating a wonderful snorkelling experience. The bar, toilet and some trash a bit deeper in the island, way less picturesque, take you a bit back to Earth... The beach is quite crowded, but still gives the feelings of intimacy and being secluded. Would advise to pack your favourite food and spend a whole day there

I love it and of course ill put 5 stars But i think you need a bit of tuning In terms of the food menu and the offerings at the kiosk You have a big potential

My favourite beach on Hydra. €17 for return boat from the port, €10 for 1x umbrella & single bed (assume double for x2). Small bar for drinks/food but nothing stopping you from taking your own for the day. Smaller and quieter than St Nicholas which is why I preferred. Pebbly so bring sea shoes if poss but I managed without. Be sure to get the first boat @ 10.30am in high season so that you are first on the beach and have your pick of seating.

A lovely pebble beach with plenty of shade from trees and sunbed sets where you can feel at one with nature. Pristine waters and nice for a little snorkel. Best to go on the 10.30 am boat there in peak season to secure a preferred spot. Regular boat trips from Hydra Port, but you sort of have to make a day of it as the first return trip is at 4 pm - of note if you are time limited. Reasonable snack bar (fruit or Greek salad, simple toast or sandwich and refreshments, and some beer/wine, but nothing fancy). You can also walk to a church with nice views.

By far the best beach on the island! €15 per person for the boat ride to get there and back, which you can catch from the main port. €15 for 2 sunbeds and umbrella - we stayed there all day! Quiet, clean, crystal clear waters and the forest backdrop. Take some snacks and enjoy!

Such an amazing beach!! Really nice and quiet. You can rent a lounge for the day, we had 3 lounges for 38 euro. There’s a little kiosk with snacks and drinks. My favourite beach on hydra so far

Beautiful beach. Not lots of sand and mostly stone, but there is a sandy bit at the bottom.beautiful. The loungers cost £15 euro for 2.

Beautiful sandy beach with a few rocks here and there. There were umbrellas available for free and we enjoyed our time there. Perfect if you're staying at Askeli.

After a hard and hot days walking we needed to relax😁 Askelli beach is near to our studio so decided to head there😁🇬🇷 Very nice sun beds and umbrellas and even found a bit of shade 😁 €15 for two beds 😁🇬🇷 Nice bar area. Very good toilets and changing areas😁🇬🇷 A few pebbles and into the sea. No complaints😁 Didn’t eat but had two nice iced coffee ☕️ Convenient for us but also worth walking to 😁🇬🇷 Some good music 🎵 playing too😁🇬🇷 Will go again. Recommended 😁🇬🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Really beautiful beach 😍 the coast is sandy, seawater is clean. This place isn’t crowded ( in the middle of June) I was missing the bar and coffee shop or tavernas therefore only four stars for me…( this place is so far the supermarket and any possible of buying) If you want you can get a sunbed as well.

The beach is really good, in the beginning starting at the golden hotel don't have rocks many rocks and the umbrellas are for free. If you go bit more to the left is where the rocky part starts but if you have watershoes is just fine! Enjoy and have fun !

Went there on a mid-sunny May afternoon. Definitely not overcrowded (maybe due to the time period) but a very nice and picturesque beach! Sand was clean enough to lay down with your towel and the sea was also very clear and clean! 4 stars just because it lacks of amenities such as bars, umbrellas etc.

Water is abit cold today as is quite windy in September , we got a spot right on the rocky beach , is not sandy so is quite a feet massage to go thru that for a swim. we got our set of lounge seat from the nearby restaurant , Askeli . 12€ a day for the set of two. Price reasonable I reckon , and you can order drinks and snack to be serve. overall the staff are very friendly. Beach is not full at all, so is kind of peaceful and we enjoyed it very much

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

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

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

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

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

Really beautiful and relax place! The water is still a little cold in May, but can swim already. The biting fishes are cute:) Very friendly and high efficiency employees und system. The massage is also great, but needs to book in advance. Food is simple but acceptable. We enjoyed a really relax and great day there.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

It wasn’t that easy to get here - the ferry and then the taxi. But it’s worth it because of its more than 2.5K history and no need to jostle with other tourists. We got all the photos we wanted. The cats were very friendly once they knew we had cat food

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

The Church of Saint Nectarios in Aegina is a truly miraculous place, filled with grace and peace. You feel close to the divine here – a wonderful spot for those seeking spiritual quiet and heartfelt prayer. It is said that prayers are truly heard in this sacred place. Practical note: the religious shop only accepts cash, not credit cards. The church is easy to reach by bus from Aegina port, and nearby you’ll find plenty of restaurants serving delicious traditional Greek food

I didn’t know what to expect for this monastery but it is a really good photo stop. It also got me curious about Saint Nectarios, who I learnt is venerated for many healings, especially of cancer, both during his life and after his death

Huge church. Amazing interior and obviously a place of pilgrimage for many. The reason being in the name St Nektarios. He is buried here and is known for many healing miracles. There is also the monastery and further relics. Appropriate dress is required. Long trousers for men and shirts. Women long skirts, not shorts, and tops should cover shoulders. No entrance fee but donations welcome, I'm sure.

Whole place is wonderful! The setting is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the ambiance is calming. Strongly recommend visiting for a peaceful and uplifting experience.

This is an awe inspiring church. The floors are designed with tiny tiny ceramic tiles and around the amazing alter are mosaics of sea creatures. Above is the Monastery, with a small church, the actual rooms where Agios Nektarios lived and worked (St. Nektarios) and a guide to fill you in on all the details of his objects, writings and life. In addition there is a small room with the Saint’s tomb where many people feel/receive special closeness to God and even whispers when they put their ear up to the tomb. Skirts and cover update provided as dress code requires respect.

A beautiful and breathtaking holy place, the Church and Monastery of Saint Nektarios of Aegina is dedicated to one of the most renowned Greek saints, venerated in both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches. This is a must-visit site when in Aegina, accessible by local bus, taxi, or rented scooter/car, with ample parking available nearby. The journey takes about 20 minutes. Be respectful of this active sacred site, as it is frequented by many Greeks seeking the favor of the saint. Up the hill, you can also visit the monastery. Men and women must dress modestly in accordance with the rules. When we visited, the interior was being renovated but remained open for visitors to explore.

Very spiritual experience, energy there was something special. Souvenir shop was a bit unorganized, big line up with only a single person working, but had really nice things.

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

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

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

Very cool and nice marina, many super yachts berthed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A great place to visit really close to Athens

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.

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.

Warning!! NOT PET FRIENDLY. They make you put your pet in an awful cage on the deck under the burning sun and without the ability to go and check on it during the trip. Absolutely awful and rude officers. If you have a pet avoid at all costs

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 displays are in Greek and French, so if you speak that language I would give it four stars. While not everything needs to be in English and appreciate that it annoys some people, it is however the lingua franca. The museum is small, with detailed displays and exhibits covering the ancient city. Toilets are available and parking is out front. Handy, for walking over the main road to the ruins

We visited the museum during the full moon in August 2025 and watched an interesting documentary about the recent discovery of the Temple of Artemis, a joint Swiss–Greek enterprise.

Small museum with a few surprising unusual pieces, typical of small town museums in greece. The bronze age collection is particularly interesting. Great potential if the ministry took some interest in modernizing the space.

The staff is not interested in visitors. They just sell tickets. Few words of introduction would be very useful. Ladies do not help at all despite very few guests. The museum concept is fine. What annoys most, the inscriptions about the exhibits - all of them are only in Greek and French (!). Why?

It's a small museum but an interesting collection very well preserved. Small toys, glass specimens, and local pieces of dish or amphora. The explanations are interesting, well balanced between length and quality.

Worth visiting and following the path, whichbthey give on the map. Very unfortunate, that there is no info in English.

Magnificent museum with beautiful artifacts and jewelry. Very interesting explanation of how temples were built.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It was great to visit and I love the way the organization (by date) helps you understand how art evolved through the years is shorter than it says it is you can easily finished it in 1h

Very nice and well-maintained museum. Friendly welcome and guided staff who pointed out to us to visit the lower part as well. Without his friendly help we would have certainly missed this. Thanks & too bad this city does not seem so touristy. It is possibly all the fault of Alexander the Great and the final downfall of Thebes: the city was totally destroyed by him in 335 BC.

A rich collection of archaeological findings spanning the history of Beoetia from the paleolithic to the early Ottoman period. All signs and exhibit labels are in Greek and English. We took it slow and read almost everything and consequently spent around 3.5 hours here, but the average person will probably spend ~2 hours here.

Staff on the gate desk spoke English and appreciated the attempted use of Greek language whilst purchasing tickets (€10 for a standard entrance ticket). Outdoor exhibits are seen first and cover some very early periods of Ancient Greek sculpture, masonry and statue. All exhibits have dual Greek and English text and are detailed, both in the overall topic/ section and for numbered items in display cases - the interior exhibits are separated by era (Iron Age, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine etc) making navigation simplistic. The structure uses primarily flat ground but a wheelchair lift is available for disabled visitors in the one room that is lower than the rest of the buildings layout (this accessibility did not extend to the castle tower on the museum grounds which required visitors to navigate 2 small sets of above average steep metal steps to gain full access). I cannot comment on the onsite Café as it was early in what appeared to be renovations at the visit time. The museum Gift shop, which you walk past/ through when entering the indoor exhibits, stocked some small replicas of assorted busts and jewellery etc. Photography is allowed for non-commercial use (without flash). Overall, a worthy visit for any history nerd, especially in regards to the insights on the mundane through burial items, craftsmanship, changing artistic styles through the eras and shifting political and military policy as Greek land passed between so many hands and invading cultures over its history (there are no interactive exhibits or big fancy weapons racks for children to marvel at however, so be wary of those who have little patience for reading).

Very good museum, 10 euros each, free for children, great for learning all history through the ages, takes about 1 hour to get through

One of the best museums I have been to. They are many interesting artifacts from Thebes and the region and they are very well presented and explained in a beautiful building. I really liked her Linear B displays. They really need a better shop and cafe.

Must see, new building excellent collection and presentation.

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

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

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

Very spiritual place to visit, a lovely day trip.

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

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

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

You can park your car at the top of the road and go down on foot on a very nice short path to the waterfall. The place is amazing, much more beautiful in real life. Very recommend with young kids, as it is a really short walk

I visited this place with my family and found the access quite easy. However, caution is needed as the pedestrian path has slippery rocks. When I visited in August, the waterfall had little water, but I believe it must be much more impressive during autumn. The whole area is still in the process of recovering from the devastating fire of August 2021. Four years later, the mountainsides are slowly turning green again. Yet, the charred tree trunks remain, standing like solemn monuments to the forest’s once-glorious past.

A beautiful waterfall hidden in beautiful nature. It was awesome that it had water in August despite the hot weather. We drove there for about 35 minutes from Edipsos. The road is good and asphalted, though the last 10 kilometers it was a bit narrow. There were some sharp turns, but nothing drastic and we saw people arriving with small motorcycles. You park the car and then there's a short walk down a nice path for no more than 5 minutes to get to the waterfall. My tip is to get non-slippery shows because the stones on the path were a bit slippery. We went from there to Rovies and that part of the road was worse with many sharp turns and some damaged parts, so I would suggest to use the other way if you can. Definitely worth a visit!!

This little place is magical! The waterfall had water during September, which is a good sign. You can take a dive in the small pond and enjoy the green nature around you. Unfortunately, that green nature is only around you, as the places surrounding the area have suffered from wildfires. The waterfall area has been kept mostly intact though. To reach it, you will have to descend some easy stairs. I do recomment using good shoes and not slippers, but you won't have an issue if you are careful. It won' take you more than 5-10 minutes.

Great waterfall. Easy to reach, park car en walk down. Only waterfall on evia that we found in July 2025 with water.

Very nice waterfall, 40 minutes drive from Agia Anna beach. Easy access, kid-friendly walking path. There is a children's playground near the waterfall. Just be careful of snakes. Down the waterfall there are snakes.

A small but very nice place to go. It has parking spaces for the cars and easy access to the waterfalls with a new build path. If you want you could even swim there or take a rest at the playground. Unfortunately the trees around are all burnt down which is a small lack for the beautiful place.

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
