Greek Beaches and Beach Island in Greece
Greece is made of some of the most beautiful beaches
in the world. There are over one hundred beaches to suit
every traveler, from crowded party-like beaches, to quiet
and secluded beaches that will feel private and all yours!
There are beaches that boast warm waters, and some that
have cold water. You can choose between white sandy beaches,
or black sand- or maybe no sand at all, as there are beaches
whose coastlines consist of pebbles instead of sand. Whatever
your desire for the perfect beach, you’ll find it
on one of the islands in Greece. Below is a summary of
some of the beaches you can visit when you are in Greece.
The beaches of Alonissos
are quiet and natural, have crystal clear water, but only
two of them have sandy beaches; Vvthisma and Vrysitsa.
All of the other beaches of Alonissos have pebbles and
rough terrain on the beaches.
The island of Ios caters to the
younger crowd of tourists, with bars
and night clubs around the most populated areas. There
are three main villages of Ios, Yialos, Hora and Mylopotamos,
with the most popular bus route stopping in Mylopotamos
because of one of the most gorgeous beaches and mini resorts
that are located there!
A relatively undeveloped island, Lefkadha,
is connected to the mainland of Greece
by a long causeway through lagoons. The eastern side of
the island is developed with resorts, and is quite busy,
but the majority of the island is picturesque.
Naxos, located within
the Cyclades, is green and one of the most fertile
of the islands. The island could support itself without
the income from tourism, thanks to the production of potatoes,
olives, lemons and grapes. The beaches of Naxos are
known for their caves- where you can actually still see
the remains of Cycladic buildings.
Crete has both a very developed
coastline and also, in the mountains, a quiet and
secluded coastline. The north coast is very developed,
and the people are quite wealthy. There are great public
beaches if you don’t mind crowds, and Crete is a
great place to go if you’re looking for traditional
hospitality and tourism..
