Although I may not be currently in the mindset of visiting the beach, I can confidently say that it is a superb destination during the warmer months. The beach offers a plethora of activities and opportunities for relaxation, making it an ideal location for a fun and rejuvenating getaway.
The beach is an absolute paradise with its breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters. It boasts of numerous stunning spots perfect for a refreshing dip.
The serene and stunning beach boasts a picturesque scenery, but lacks the necessary amenities for an extended vacation. Additionally, a visit to the revered monasteries of Saint Catherine and Moses adds to the overall experience.
Traganas beach is a place of unparalleled beauty, with stunning views of the bay of Almyros and the islets of Gaidoronisi and Mitro. The latter has been designated as infinitely beautiful and is also an archaeological site, with ruins from the Mycenaean period. The beach is easily accessible by foot, as there is a narrow strip of land connecting it to the mainland. The center of the beach features an impressive square with the gate to the sea, a creation of architect A.A. Alexiou. Nearby, the Flevas area boasts eternal springs that form a frozen river on the sandiest part of the beach. The clear, transparent waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, although there are some areas with stones. Three shops offer refreshments and snacks, and the first turning left provides free camping in a green courtyard. The village nearby has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including apartments for rent, a mini market, bakeries, greengrocers, taverns, and cafes. The Androa monastery of Agia Triada is just 1 km away, and on the hill opposite the beach is the Eurosinaite Studies Foundation, which houses a vast library and a copy of the Catholicos of the Sinai Monastery. Traganas beach is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an authentic and unforgettable vacation.
In the sweltering month of August, I had the misfortune of visiting a beach that was nothing short of a disaster. The sand was tainted with filth, and the water was so murky that it seemed more like a swamp than a seaside. It was a soggy mess that left me feeling more disgusted than relaxed. It's hard to imagine anyone enjoying their time in such a dismal environment.
