Latest reviews on Palaiochora's beaches

Straws beach
10 Kaspar Klynnov.

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.

Skoutari beach

This stunning beach is a true gem, and I sincerely hope it remains unspoiled and retains its natural, untamed beauty. The unorganized and wild atmosphere only adds to the charm and allure of this coastal paradise. I am grateful for the opportunity to experience such a breathtaking location and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
