This spot is one of the best in the area. The sand is golden and very fine, and the water is super clear. You can walk across the shallow water for a long distance, while enjoying a great view of the hills and mountains surrounding the bay of Skoutari. There are also some tamaris trees where you can sit in the shade, but there is plenty of space to bring your own umbrella.

This beach is absolutely stunning with its sand and shallow, crystal clear water. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing day by the sea.

This beach is an absolute must-visit, boasting a coveted blue flag status. The path leading to the sea may wind through rocky terrain, with only a small sandy path to guide you, but once you arrive, you'll be greeted by endless stretches of soft yellow sand. The water is crystal clear and perfect for a refreshing swim. When you need a break from the sun, there's a restaurant nearby where you can enjoy a cool drink or a delicious lunch. If the weather is sunny, spending a day at this beach is highly recommended. It's no wonder why it's considered the top beach in the area.

Elaphoniso might be the top beach in Lakonia, but Plythra is definitely a close contender. The golden sand is a highlight of this beach, making it a great spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the scenery.

The beach in Mani is a picturesque paradise, offering a delightful and family-friendly atmosphere. The sea remains warm even in early June, with shallow waters perfect for children to frolic in. The Kalamakia taverna is a fantastic spot to enjoy delicious and expertly prepared meals at reasonable prices. Additionally, visitors are welcome to use the complimentary sun beds and spend a day soaking up the sun. Several coves are accessible from the beach, and it's worth exploring the other side where the stunning St. Varvara church is located. I highly recommend a visit to this charming beach.
