About

Paralia Souniou is located on the Saronic Gulf (part of Aegean Sea) and it is in the 216th place out of 409 beaches in the Attica region 45 km away from its center, the city of Athens. It is one of the beaches of Kato Sounio settlement, just 1 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place.

It is a small bay with green pure water and brown sand, so you don't need special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is partially crowded during the high season.

A significant part of the beach has a restricted access. The beach facilities are only available to hotel guests. Their list includes, loungers and umbrellas, beach restaurant, changing rooms, showers, toilets. During the season this beach line is supervised by a lifeguard.

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

This beach is easily accessible, it is located very close to road. Beach parking is only available to the guests of nearby hotels.

12 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Kape Beach, which has a rating of 7.8.

Paralia Souniou (Attica) is located outside the Kato Sounio settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Paralia Souniou with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

4 Frustrating

The beach is a lovely spot to spend your weekend, however, the ocean is filled with rocks. If you're looking for a place to relax, two sunbeds are available for €30, but be aware that it's a bit pricey for self-service.
