When it comes to what to do in Damnoni beach, it's impossible not to mention an insanely popular activity: snorkeling. The coastal waters of the region are full of interesting views, which can be observed through a snorkeling mask. Well, if you do not have the necessary equipment for snorkeling - everything can be purchased at the nearby shops.

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Damnoni beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale.

The beach offers a plethora of amenities that cater to all your needs. However, the gusty winds prevented me from indulging in paddleboarding and swimming. Nonetheless, the beach is visually stunning and has the potential to attract a large crowd during favorable weather conditions.

This tranquil beach boasts pristine, translucent waters that are a sight to behold. However, it can be quite breezy here. The sunbeds are available at a reasonable price of 6 euros. Additionally, there are delightful taverns in close proximity that serve delectable seafood dishes. Our decision to visit this beach was a wise one, especially after our unpleasant experience at Preveli.

This beach is absolutely amazing! The sunbeds are available for rent at a very affordable price of just 6 euros per day. You can also find three restaurants that serve delicious food. However, parking can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you arrive late. I went there for the first time on a Sunday and it was quite chaotic with cars everywhere. It took me a while to get out of there, but I think it's because the locals also love to spend their Sundays at the beach. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this beach to anyone looking for a relaxing day out. 😊😊😊😊😊

This stunning beach boasts crystal clear water with a delightful hue, making it a sight to behold. Sunbeds are available for a mere 6 euros, providing a cheap and comfortable option for two people. Additionally, there are numerous dining options located in close proximity to the shore. In my opinion, this beach is the most gorgeous one I have ever seen. Although there is a constant breeze, it is not always bothersome. I highly recommend giving this beach a try as it is truly worth it.
