Saoúres beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Platys Gialos 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 coast of the Sifnos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike.

The beach is a small cove with rocks where you can sunbathe. It boasts a picturesque setting and offers decent snorkeling opportunities at the west end of the beach. However, there is no shade or facilities available.

There's a lovely small pebble beach close to Chrisopigi church. It's lacking in amenities and there aren't many people around.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Saoúres beach (South Aegean) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Saoúres beach (South Aegean) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Saoúres beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
