How long is the drive from Fira to Delphi?
The direct drive from Fira to Delphi is 298 mi (480 km), and should have a drive time of 11 hrs 15 mins in normal traffic.
If you’re going on a road trip from Fira to Delphi, we did the research for you and compiled some great stops along the way — with Athens and Piraeus, as well as top places to visit like Magganari Beach and Paralia Milopotas, or the ever-popular Karavolades Stairs.
The top cities between Fira and Delphi are Athens and Piraeus. Athens is the most popular city on the route. It's 9 hours from Fira and 3 hours from Delphi.
Piraeus is a significant port city situated in the Attica region of Greece, within the Athens urban area. It is located on the east coast of the Saronic Gulf, approximately eight kilometers southwest of Athens’ city center along the Athens Riviera. Thira, also known as Santorini's major city, serves as its port and may require flights between islands like Mykonos and Santorini during off-seasons when direct ferries are not available.
Greece's capital city, Athens, was the center of an influential civilization and empire in Ancient Greece. Today, it is still characterized by landmarks dating back to the 5th century BC, such as the Acropolis- a citadel atop a hill that features ancient structures like the Parthenon temple with its colonnades. Visitors can delve into Ancient Greek history at two main museums: the Acropolis Museum and National Archaeological Museum which house artifacts ranging from sculptures to vases and jewelry.

Best stops along Fira to Delphi drive
The top stops along the way from Fira to Delphi (with short detours) are Temple of Poseidon, Sarakiniko Beach, and Magganari Beach. Other popular stops include Lake Vouliagmeni, Temple of Aphaia, and Ακτοπλοϊκά Εισιτήρια Hellenic Seaways.
The Karavolades Stairs is a popular tourist destination that leads from a hilltop village to a harbor. The stairs are winding and lengthy, therefore comfortable shoes are necessary. While descending, visitors may encounter mules using the same path or standing aside. It takes around 15-20 minutes to reach the harbor, but it's well worth the trip as it offers breathtaking views of the Old Port.
Great views! The cable car was down for service when I went, and most people opted to walk instead of taking a donkey. I also jogged down and back up another day for exercise - 14:30 down and 12:30 up. A slow walk up with several breaks takes around 30-45min. They do clean the stairs daily to remove the donkey droppings. I went at the beginning of April, and it was around 65F. The smell was the same as being in a barn...so I guess if people haven't been around many barn animals the smell can be a little off-putting...Go early in the morning and there are no donkeys and very few other people there - very peaceful!
Joe Hwang — Google review
The stairs are very slippery and I actually fall down on the ground even with proper trainers. As other review comments mentioned there is quite a lot of donkey’s “belongings” so the smell of the stairs is not so good. Luckily I didn’t fall down on it. The donkeys looks so hot under the sun waiting for the tourists… Not a “must visit” place for me in the end.
C Lu (?????) — Google review
Make sure you wear the right shoes since there are a lot of stairs. It took us a good 15-20 mins to go downhill. I recommend taking the cable car uphill. The mules use the stairs as well so they often pass by or are standing on the sides.
TG — Google review
Steep stairs, beautiful view. The stairs can get very, very crowded, full of cruise ship passengers and donkeys. You are out in the sun, no shade, bring water and wear proper shoes.
Wandern Leo — Google review
Those poor donkeys carrying people on their backs look hot, sweaty and exhausted. There was a trail of their blood leading up the stairs, so they're obviously getting hurt while doing so. Please if care about the well-being of the animals don't ride them. Walk up the stairs and pace yourselves, or take the gondola if walking isn't an option.
Britt D — Google review
These stairs are long but well worth the trip down the Old Port. There is a cable car you take up and down as well. We decided to take the stairs down and the cable car for 6euros back up. It was a great decision!
Angie Galindo — Google review
I’ve seen some very negative reviews of the stairway. We walked down in just over 20 minutes. There was a part where passed quite close to standing donkeys, and we definitely had to avoid so donkey poo. But it was much faster than the wait for cable cars.
Brad Fifield — Google review
These steps do feel like they go on and on…but wow what amazing views you get on the way. Well worth the effort. It took us around 25 minutes to walk up, the walk down probably took a similar time.
You will encounter lots of donkeys and pony’s along the way, but they’re no bother. Of course just watch your step as there is plenty of poo along the way too.
Very pleased we took the time to do this over taking the cable car option. We climbed the steps around 9am before the sun came over the top which was much better, it does get hot so a bottle of water is definitely a must.
Enjoy

City is on the top of the cliff. Take the cable car, ride the donkey or climb the 500 plus steps (~1 km or 2/3 miles for ~200 meters or ~650 ft elevation)
JamesP C — Google review
The stairs themselves are impressive and definitely a landmark worth mentioning. But I strongly recommend against taking this route during sunny days, especially if you're going uphill. The whole area is exposed to the sun, and especially around noon it can become very difficult. On top of that, there are donkeys going up and down in small herds, sometimes pushing people into the sides of the trail. The handlers don't seem to control the very well. I've seen 2 people injured by donkeys on my way up. Then there's donkey leavings, imagine it in a hot summer day... the smell is unbearable at times. Also, the donkeys are far from comfortable themselves, as they skid over the cobblestone or just stop in the middle of the road. Take the cable car, it's worth the wait.
Catalin Florea — Google review
Serious issues with donkey feces and smell with the stairs. The condition is poor and I am in awe wondering how the local government has allowed the steps to be covered in 90% poo when it's the first thing tourists see entering the port.
Proceed with caution as the smell is unbearable and worse than a public toilet. You can smell the spoils of the donkey even a few streets away from the stairs. Would highly recommend taking any other alternative route possible even if the wait for the cable car is longer and more expensive (€6 one way).

We visited Santorini on a cruise in early November. We were the only cruise ship at the port. I took a cable car up and hiked down. So, I don't know what the experience would be hiking up. There were hardly any people around 3pm, and it wasn't as slippery as I thought. It may be because it was sunny all day today. If you have hiked the Bright Angels trail in Grand Canyon NP, that is way worse than this when it comes to donkey poop. It was very quiet, and I really enjoyed the time hiking down to the old port.
Satoko Yuda — Google review
Not too bad of a walk down for me and my husband but could be rough for some people! It would for sure be harder walking up but we didn't attempt it. The rocks can get a little slick and expect some donkey poop along the path so just wear appropriate shoes! Also avoid getting in the way of the donkeys since you'll be sharing the road with them. Took us around 30 minutes to walk down and it wasn't crowded
Bex DuBois — Google review
I would recommend avoiding these stairs if you can. There are cable cars or what we did is we booked an excursion at the port which is a boat ride to Oia and then a private bus back to Fira - so we only had to go down the stairs. (Company pagnois).
So we decided to walk down the stairs and it was a long walk - I don’t know how people went up it. The biggest concern is how slippery the stairs are. Some girl was on the floor because she broke her ankle falling.
It also smells very bad from the donkeys. It was very windy and the hay went all over us. Donkey poop everywhere. And our clothes and purse stunk from the odor. Even my hay purse got ruined from the stench.
Dena H. — Google review
The most disgusting donkey excrement smelly experience in my whole life. Half dead and never cleaned donkeys bearing up tourists on their backs. Donkey excrements and blood on every step. Humanity at its worst.

Rent a car and make the trip. Bus is an option too but far less flexibility. Getting around this island is very easy. Crystal turquoise waters. Loungers were no charge in early October. Air was cool but water was still warm.
Sarah Colvin — Google review
Worth the drive to get here. A taste of what iOS must have been like a few years ago when things were less commercial and crowded over the other side. A clean beach with few people. Good food options and sheltered from the wind. Very worthwhile. Swim to the island for a bit of fun.
Maxim Kaye — Google review
Worth the drive/sailing trip if you are on the Island.
Super clear water on a sandy beach. It also has its on little island and a beautiful sunset.
The restaurant options are just average and you wont have internet on the beach.
NOTE: water is said to be warmer on the right hand side when looking at the sea.
STEFAN Stefanovic — Google review
This is undoubtedly the best beach in the whole island of Ios! Turquoise, transparent water and a sandy beach surrounded by a barren, wild nature. The most tranquil and enjoyable beach I’ve ever been! Also some water sports going on, if with young family. Paid 10euros for the whole set of sand beds and had lunch at the adjacent tavern at the back ( also very decent prices ). Parking is for free at the back. The only difficulty is getting there … even by car was quite a challenge and should definitely be careful with the silly Google maps directions, which will most probably take you off road ( very dangerous route - make sure you stay on the main road, no matter what Google suggests and avoid driving in the dark ).
P.S Pet friendly beach !
Elisabeth — Google review
Amazing beach! We rented a car and drove to the other side of the island specifically to visit this beach. The water is clear and warm and the sands are golden and soft. A must-see if you're in Ios.
Alexandra Kane — Google review
Beautiful beach with cristal blue water.
The beach is very clean and looks good.
We paid 10€ for 2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella ( in September)
There is a bus from Ios port ( around 12 pm) to the beach (leaving at around 5pm) and the trip takes about 1h.
There are also 2 small beaches on the right side of this beach at 3-5 ?min walking from here.
There is a restaurant where you cand eat.

Great beach but you will need to go there by car or the bus from Ios Chora. Absolutely worth going there. It's about a half an hour drive there are sun beds (15 Euro for the set and umbrella). There are some restaurants near by with affordable prices.

Beautiful, clean beach with loungers and umberellas. We paid £15 for 2 loungers and a shade. Cafes and toilets if needed and great view. Fairly sheltered from the wind and quite quiet considering it is the high season (July)

Very nice beach with clean blue water and pure sand. The beach bar was silent with no music. It was 10 euros for 2 people to sit and I think it’s cheap for what it offers. Best place to relax.

Paralia Milopotas is a great beach with plenty of space to relax. Visitors can rent beds and tables or find free areas to set up. The water is beautiful and perfect for a quick dip. While the rental prices may be higher than other nearby beaches, many find it worth the cost. The soft, clean sand and amazing water make it an ideal spot for families. Snorkeling enthusiasts will appreciate the underwater beauty as well.
Had a great time here with my family, the sand was soft and clean, and the water amazing.
The prices are modest and you have a great variety to choose from.
Do not forget your snorkeling mask and flaps, the beauty of this place is underwater as well. 🙏🏽
Floculus — Google review
Great beach. Lots of room--beds/tables to rent and also free areas to set up. Water is beautiful and perfect for taking a quick dip.
The beds are more expensive (we spent $15) than some of the other beaches near Chora/xora, but worth it. Compared to koumbara beach, this was world's better.
Also, if you're looking to save money, just go buy a pita at a bakery on the main street to eat and only order water/coffee/drinks from the place you rent your chairs from.

Katergo Beach
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Katergo Beach in Folegandros is an outstanding and picturesque seaside destination. It boasts a remarkable level of tranquility, being quite remote and accessible either by boat from the port or by a 30-minute drive followed by a short walk. Even on windy days, this beach remains uncrowded, with only a handful of sunbathers enjoying its serenity.
Beautiful, secluded beach with marked trail access. About a 15 minute walk from the trail head to the top of the cliff edge about the beach.
Michelle Hayes — Google review
The most beautiful beach of the island. The water is crystal clear and there is both a sandy side and a stony side. The view from the top is amazing. However to get there you need to walk about half an hour on a steep trail. Definitely need proper shoes as some points are steep. Obviously there is no restaurant or any sunbeds so make sure to bring enough water and an umbrella. You can also visit it by boat which costs about 12 euros.
Marios — Google review
Another nomination for the best and most beautiful beach in Folegandros! The parking is about a half hour (half of it very steep and rocky and I’d say a bit dangerous for kids) away from the water. But the water so clear, not rough waves, warm for its depth but not too deep! If you go to one beach, make it this one!!
A C — Google review
Amazing beach. If u like hiking and enjoy sun this beach is for u. From the other hand if you want u can also take the ferry from the Port which takes you there. The beach is super clean and still not over crowded. Be prepared w drinks food etc.
Giannis Saro — Google review
A beautiful beach that’s accessible by boat but also has a path from Chora. It has black sand, pebbles, rocks and a bit of sand as well. You can see and admire the wild landscape and the rocks in the sea. Make sure to go to Katergo when there’s no wind otherwise you will not enjoy it.
Eleftheria Livadarou — Google review
The most beautiful beach on the island. It is easily accessible via boat from the main port they depart at 11 and every hour until 17:00. you can check at the port to make sure for the times and then they also bring you back. There is also a hiking trail but it is around 60min.
George St — Google review
Beautiful beach with clean water and very relaxing atmosphere. We went there by the boat that does this route and we paid 12 euros each for the two way trip. The beach doesn't have many spots with shade so it is better to have an umbrella or something to be safe from the sun. I would definitely visit it again!
Elli Korre — Google review
You can reach the Katergo beach by boat or a short hike. We chose the second option and it was totally worth it! You have an amazing view over the Aegean sea, but the last part is a bit steep, so better to wear proper shoes. Katergo is one of the best beaches in Folegandros!
Giuseppe Talarico — Google review
Very nice beach with amazing water.
The way back path may be a bit confusing, but still no issues.
You need roughly 25/30 min to get to the beach by the path.
Rui Santo — Google review
Katergo is a fantastic beach on Folegandros. It’s quite isolated. You can reach it by boat from the port. If you have a car or a motorbike, you can also drive and then walk for about 30 minutes. I was there on a windy day and it had no more than 10 sunbathers. A must go while on Folegandros.
Skiralos — Google review
Very nice beach even if it’s very windy.
The high is from the road is around 30 min. We did it in Birkenstock sandals without problems. You can also take a little boat from the harbour 12€.
There is no shadow and you have to bring water and food if you are staying for many hours.

This beach is easily accessible by car, bus, or motorbike. It’s a nice place for families, I guess. Not my cup of tea. Mid July it’s crowed with lots of umbrellas and kids. I much prefer Agios Nicolaos and Katergo which are not as easily accessible …

A hidden gem on Folegandros island, And probably the best place to anchor your boat. The water is very clear and turquoise blue, and there is very nice sand on the beach. A number of small restaurants with good quality. You can come here by bus directly from the old town up on the hill. The road is very steep, but you can also walk on a hiking path, if it is not too hot.

The beach is easy accessible by the local bus or a short drive from folegandros city. The water quality is amazing and it's very clean. It is not organised so it does not have sunbeds and umbrellas. If you need shade you will need to make your own arrangements and bring your own umbrella.

Perfect beach in Folegandros. There are couple of restaurants to eat and all of them are really good and fairly priced. Beach itself is also nice, very close to Galifos by walking.
Mehmet KARACA — Google review
Definitely a nice beach to visit. It's probably the most popular one on the island, so you should expect more people than at the rest of the beaches. There are restaurants, tavernas and cafes right behind the beach so you can equip yourself with some water bottles or enjoy your lunch (you should try some fresh fish) after your swim.

I'll never travel to Delphi without this trip planner again
The Cave of Antiparos, located about 10km south of the port, is a huge and atmospheric cave that has remained impressive despite past looting of stalactites and stalagmites. Visitors can descend the 400-plus concrete steps into the well-lit cave to experience its enthralling atmosphere. The cave is known for ancient graffiti from past visitors, with one dating back to 1776. It's recommended to beware of the climb out!
Great fun.
Approximately 400 stairs to go down and then again up.
You can see everyone exhausted after getting out. Very nice cardio test.
Beautiful inside, with stalagmites and stalactites.
Captain Cross — Google review
Really interesting to visit if you can! Lots of walking down into the cave and back up though so be ready with water. Cost 5€ per person in 2022.
Emily Grant — Google review
Wow, we had quite the adventure at Antiparos Cave! Breathtaking sights and trying not to get blown away by the wind! It's fascinating how those mini rock sculptures stayed intact.
Careful going down the caves steps, I did end up slipping down a few steps but luckily I didn’t get hurt. Going down into the cave was an incredible experience, even though it left us a bit out of breath on the way back up.
Funny story: I accidentally left my glasses on the bottom of the cave and only noticed once it was closed. We had to travel back and forth between Paros and Antiparos the next day to find them. A fellow Canadian was able to grab them for me. So we had quite the journey in Greece, full of memorable moments! 🇬🇷✨

Exciting cave to experience, well worth a visit. Keep in mind it is relatively hard to get back up depending on your shape, even though there are very nice and easy stairs to walk on all the way. Easy parking just a minute from the entrance. Around €20 entrance fee for a family.

Oldest stalactites in Europe, dating more than 45 million years old. There is plenty of car parking at the entrance. It is easy to find as there are good road markings and sign. The panoramic views from the site are also very beautiful. Entrance is ticketed and can be purchased on site. There is one way in and same way out route. Lots of steep stairs so be prepared for that.
Harshil Dave — Google review
Truly fascinating cave that is well maintained and easily accessible. Lots of great history and very deep.
Mara Simmons — Google review
Worth visiting(The videos are not doing justice to it). Entry is not allowed for those with heart diseases ,breathing problem, special needs and pregnant women!
The cave was used as a refuge during Neolithic period and later on became a cult place of Goddess Artemis. The cave's entrance is named "prothalamos" antechamber] and is divided in 3 levels.
You get a better view of the cave when climbing up. Climbing up can be exhausting, so take your time and admire the cave more. READ THE TRACT BEFORE ENTERING THE CAVE because it’s like your cave guide!
Ample place to park before getting to the cave;not far and no fee. To enter the Cave, adults pay fee 5€ each,adults over 65yrs old pay 2,50€, children from 6-12years pay 2,50€ and kids are free. If you come in groups of 15 persons,you pay 4€. YOU BUY THE TICKET RIGHT AT THE GATE OF THE CAVE BEFORE ENTERING!
The cave was cool in summer!

Amazing experience. This cave have the most older stalagmite in the world (42 million years old). There is an entrance fee 5 euro that is totally worth it. As you decent you fill the air pressure so if you have difficulty breathing please stay at the upper portion. The temperature down there is constantly 16 - 17 Celsius. The maximum decent is about 100m. Great experience

Ohhhh my GOD!!!!! Amazing that, you are able to get, that up-close and personal, to something 50 million years old. The stairs leading to the bottom of the cave are a work of wonder. A magnificent piece of engineering that intertwines with mother nature’s beauty. Even I, a 60+ year old person with a bad hip and knees was able to slowly walk through the wonderful world of the cave 400 plus steps to the very bottom. There are, Endless possibilities for resting and photographing this amazing place. This is a significant site that you could enjoy time and time again. But if you are only going to visit AntiParos once in your lifetime. THIS IS A MUST SEE!
Gerard Studer — Google review
Such a cool and memorable experience! It was so much fun exploring the cave and looking at the stalactite formations. Just be aware that the climb back up can be quite tiring, but it's definitely worth it if you can handle it. They let us enter for free too (April 2023).
Mandie L. — Google review
A really cool place to visit while going to Antiparos. Please do keep in mind that you will have to walk a lot of stairs (500) up and down. Sometimes it gets really crowded.
Ticket to the Folklore museum was included in the price but it was closed.
Joey Cacace — Google review
Very cool place. If you visit the island, def check this place out. You do have to take 400 steps down and then 400 steps back up. It’s not accessible to anyone that doesn’t have mobility. Brochure does give alot of information about the cave and it’s history.
Paul Cheema — Google review
The old graffiti is truly the coolest, and it's worth the drive out to the center of the island to check it out. You probably don't need to trek all the way to the bottom to get the full effect of the cave, but it took less time to walk up all those steps than we anticipated. Wear sturdy shoes!
Jessica Griscti — Google review
This is a once in a lifetime experience, if you have the opportunity to visit these caves you will remember it for the rest of your life. Remembered as a temple to the ancient God Artemis, and a site included in the story, The Odyssey. You will feel different the moment you enter and it may change you forever.
Beautiful beach with warm water and hotels/restaurants. A trail on the beach up the rocks leads to another gorgeous beach, with spectacular views from atop! We came in late September so it wasn’t very crowded. 2 chairs plus umbrella rent for 40E a day.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful sandy beach, approx. 1 km long with fine light brown sand gently sloping into the water. It is well equipped with good cafes, restaurants and hotels. There is parking, but it is very busy in high season. The rest of the time it is very pleasant to relax.

Ein sehr schöner Sandstrand, ca. 1 km lang mit feinen hellbraunen Sand flach ins Wasser abfallend. Er ist gut ausgestattet mit guten Cafes, Restaurants und Hotels. Es gibt Parkplätze, aber zur Hochsaison ist er stark besucht.Die restliche Zeit sehr angenehm zum entspannen.
Paralia Paleochori is a picturesque beach located in an intimate ocean cove. Its shoreline is adorned with vibrant pebbles and colorful cliffs, providing a stunning backdrop for visitors. One of the unique features of this beach is the presence of volcanic steam emanating from beneath the sand, causing it to be hot both day and night. Despite being crowded in places where there are beach bars and sun beds, there are quiet areas at the end of the beach ideal for relaxation.
A wonderful beach with a hot surprise: there is volcanic steam coming up from under the sand, so the beach is hot both day and night. While you can comfortably walk at any time, digging a little bit deeper it’s almost too dangerous as you can burn yourself. A nearby restaurant on the beach is cooking some of their foods in the volcanic fumes. An absolutely outerworldly experience. Also a nice place to anchor your boat.

Easy access and parking. Super clear water and interesting view. In this particular location sand can be super hot and burn your feet due to underground volcanic activity. There is no sand close to the water, small gravel only. Sundbeds prices are ridiculously high (35 to 60€). A lot of activity are available on this beach (jetski, paddle, big things dragged by a motorboat...) which also means a lot of noise. Definitely not the most beautiful beach of the island.

Nice beach in the south of Milos.
Would only come here if you're spending many days on the island.
Great views of a huge bay with a narrow entrance formed by two cliffs. This beach looks as awesome from the top as it does from right next to the water. It has fine sand, tree shade, great spots for sunbathing as well as sunbed facilities and restaurants.
All in all it might be the best beach in Sifnos.

A good place to go and spændt half a day, swimming and eating at the resturants right next to the water.

very nice beach with warm waters - you can find some very few places with shade on the narrower side of the beach or sit with your umbrella on the other
also very nice places to eat and drink coffee🫶

Vathi Beach has incredible views, refreshing water, and nice sand. There are several places to get food and drink as well as sun bathing chairs. Or you can simply put down a towel. Parking is a breeze and close. Just so you are aware, nudity it allowed. That aside, the harbor/cove acts as a wind breaker of sorts for the relentless wind the Island of Sifnos experiences. So, sit and enjoy a relaxing afternoon as you soak up the sun on a beautiful Mediterranean Beach and enjoy watching the sail boats moving in and out of the harbor.

The perfect quaint beach. The kind you don't want anyone else to find out about. Sun chairs and umbrellas are at the far end from where the bus stop path leads, for 6€ for the day.

A swim in the sea followed by dinner on the beach in a traditional Greek taverna then a walk, just a perfect way to enjoy this stunning place with family and friends

One of the nicest coastal villages and beaches in Sifnos island, along with Faros and it's surrounding beaches and also Heronnisos on the north of the island.

Beautiful, but my least favorite on the island. The bay is amazing, the sand is soft, but there’s little shade and the beach is mostly very narrow.

Lovely beach. Recommend the sun loungers past the resort, only €3/bed and next to the shop for beers, ice cream and coffee. Nice shallow beach that deepens further in for snorkeling.
Sarakiniko Beach on the island of Milos is a stunning natural wonder with its moonlike white landscape, clear waters, and unique rock formations. The smooth white rocks create a narrow inlet with a small beach at the end, perfect for safe swimming and snorkeling. Nearby, the remains of a shipwreck offer another great spot for snorkeling. The surrounding white volcanic rock has been shaped by wind over time, creating fjord-like crags with pools and caves to explore.
This is one of the craziest places in earth, such an amazing beach, but little to no sand at all. The smooth white rocks make you feel like you're on the moon, and the heat will make you want to jump from the cliffs into the water below. Which is what most people do, into the deep blue water from various heights. There are many places to casually walk into the water and a few shallow inlets to sit down and relax in the water. Best beach on Milos.
Gordon Ryan — Google review
Most amazing beach! A lot of the reason why people visit Milos, gets very crowded peak season, if you wanna beats the crowds best to get there early in the morning, great place for cliff jumping too. Never been to such an amazing beach, there are also boat tours that include this spot but it’s easy enough to drive down and take a dip or a cliff jump, I did see some dogs there too but I wouldn’t recommend it might be too hot for their little paws.
Rhys Walker — Google review
Very unique place, it looks amazing!
Careful, It's not a "beach" place to sit all day.
The Rocks and generally this place looks like you're on a different planet. It's definitely a must when visiting the Island.
Daniela Dounetas — Google review
Absolutely loved this place! The scenery was breathtaking, felt like walking on the moon. It was packed but once you get past that and just enjoy the scenery and swimming, it’s awesome. Loved cliff jumping in to the water in 40 degrees heat. Had the best time. Definitely recommend coming here!
Ella — Google review
Unique landscape created by volcanic irruptions thousands of years ago; definitely worth visiting for the experience and the amazing pictures you’ll be able to take. From a beach point of view, don’t be disappointed when you realize that this is a small beach, that gets very busy ! Not great from a swimming point of view, but still top on the to do list. I’d also advise against visiting with children as it can be dangerous, if not taking precautions ( slippery rocks, hard to access and rocky beach ).
Elisabeth — Google review
It's called the moon beach, because of the smooth like floor. Its good for romantic pictures, a small accessible beach for kids, and cliff jumping for adventurous people like me 😃. There is a lot of things to do there so try to spend not less than 2 hours there. A must go beach when you are in Milos.
mona afifi — Google review
Super packed with tourists but super cool to see. It is a long walk down and long walk back up but worth it. Some slippery areas of loose rock when walking around and wet rocks when getting into the water so be careful. Had a blast cliff jumping to if you are into that. Easy swims back out.
Bill Sering — Google review
This beach is so pretty, the photos do not disappoint and as others have said it’s not super crowded for sunset. The water on the day we went was too harsh to do any cliff jumping but otherwise lovely moon-like beach with interesting areas like caves and just all the other hilly spots for pics. Dusk or dawn would be perfect for golden hour photos
Christina Tran (Tiinadear) — Google review
I highly recommend driving there in the morning between 6 and 7 am (for sunrise) to get a beautiful view of the ocean and other-wordly rocky landscape. During the day I suggest you go between 9 am - 3 pm, parking can be hard to find depending on time of year. I visited in mid May and so it wasn’t too bad.
Ronan MacGregor — Google review
5 stars does not seem high enough for this place. It is almost like a mars or moon landscape. The water was rough when we were there so didn't swim but there is a spot to wade in. We weren't expecting all of the caves that seemed to go on and on. So much fun
Neil Packman — Google review
The only reason I gave this a 4 is because it's only worth visiting for pictures and maybe jumping off the cliff if you're into that. It's definitely mesmerizing to see the white xolour rocks and makes for a great backdrop in pictures, but other than that, that's all it is. We went at 8am and there was already a few people there. I would suggest going no later than 8 if you want nice photos without anyone in them. By 9am, the parking lot was packed (end of June).
Mike Antoniadis — Google review
Beach is nice but overrated. Way too many people to give it a 5 star review. However, if you walk just a few minutes along you're quickly on your own
Vegard Johnsen — Google review
The must see place in Milos. It's hard to describe but the views and landscape are breathtaking!! Feels like you are on another planet. Take your time and enjoy.
Just be warned that it is uneven terrain so wear good shoes. It is also a decent trek and the white rocks reflect the sun so it can get very hot, so make sure you stay hydrated!! But definitely worth it!!
Nicholas Dounetas — Google review
Such a beautiful place! You have to strategically visit since the winds are rough and make the water unsafe to swim in, plus there’s often a lot of people, but the nature itself is breathtaking and so surreal.

Looks better in person than Instagram! What an amazing adventure to a truly magical spot. Make sure to pack a picnic and remove your trash. Lots to explore on both sides of the swimming area as well as the extensive cave system.

no words, is beautifull! cliff jump spot stays after the first big "pool", keep walking a bit to the other side! you can get off swimming through the little "cave" on the second pic and climbing a bit! Have fun!

This was an interesting place. I usually think of sand at a beach but there really isn't any here. The water & cliffs were beautiful. There is an area where you can walk in. Some people were swimming but it was too cold for me. There were some caves to walk in, but some people have thrown trash there.

Absolute must-do on Milos, evenin May before it's swimming weather. Go as early as you can to beat the crowds.
Such a stunning place for unique photos.
Peter Janney — Google review
Amazing moonscape like you've never seen before.
Quoting our hotel owner: The volcano did a beautiful job!
Go in the morning before 8 or after 6 for the spectacular lighting and also smaller crowds. It really does get crowded after 9.
Also, keep on walking past the beach. The view gets better and better as you go deeper!
Fu SH — Google review
This wonderful spot of Milos Island consists of gray-white volcanic rock formations of many different shapes. It offers a wonderful view and makes you feel like you are walking on the moon. There is a small beach in a sea recess, under the shade of a few small trees. Since the point where you enter the sea from the beach is quite shallow, it is possible to swim by jumping from some safe rocks.
If you're going on a sunny day, take into account that the rocks are hot and there is little shade. You can go early to find a shaded area or take an umbrella with you that will protect you from the sun.
Murat Yıkılmaz — Google review
Not a beach you could spend all day at but the best beach for exploring. Wish I had more time in milos so I could come back at various times during the day and see how the different light changed it. Gorgeous.

Just stunning. So fun watching everybody jump off the cliffs, and jumping in ourselves! Be prepared to walk more than you’d think.

Amazing, stark contrast between rock cliffs and water just has tk be seen. Water beautifully blue and plenty of rock jumping places.
megan anderson — Google review
Such a magnetic looking beach, just a short drive from town. Catching sunrises here is just amazing. The hues of the sky to the moon like terrain.
This beach is appropriate for all ages, there is a shallow part that perfect for kids to play in just right where the caves are. This point is sandy or small pebble beach easy for kids sit in and play with the sand. Further down is for those whom are decent swimmers as the ledges to jump off of vary due to the tide. Of course this is a swim/jump into the water at your own risk.
The water is at least 15 ft + deep so if you jump in, be aware you swimming into the smaller cove to climb up the rock face, which can be slippery.
Overall it’s beautiful day or night. Nighttime will best during a full moon, to have its glow reflect off it terrain.
Also from when I went I did not see any restrooms.

Milos 848 00, Greece
I'll never travel to Delphi without this trip planner again
Kleftiko, a renowned tourist attraction in Milos and Greece, features striking white rock formations rising from the sea. Although it's not technically a beach, many boats tour the area to explore its sea caves and snorkeling spots. The crystal clear turquoise waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling amidst the dramatic mountainscapes. This popular destination draws visitors from all over seeking an unforgettable experience.
Wonderful place to swim and the water was super clean! You can see the bottom of the floor and there’s some fish, but not too many. We really enjoyed this swimming spot and going through the pirate caves!
Make sure to get there early as boats and swimmers start to make the place busy!
Mariko Pond — Google review
Incredible place. Definitely worth hiring your own boat and going early. Perfect for swimming because it's so shallow, clear and protected.
By about 10-11, there were big tour boats coming in and asking the other boats to move out of their way. We left after that to another beach.
Before the big boats came in, the cove was one of the best places we've been to on Milos.
Zack Letinic — Google review
This is just an incredible place! Crystal clear waters in a secluded cove with plenty of caves to explore if you need to get out of the sun for a minute. Ideal place to swim, snorkel, or just relax on a boat. Absolutely breathtaking!
Fabrizio Garcia — Google review
Undoubtedly, this is the place to be on Milos Island. Everybody goes there. We had the privilege of spending a night there on our own boat, anchored in front of one of the caves that drop from the dramatic mountains. The water is as perfect as it can get, absolutely turquoise blue. You can swim or snorkel between the rocks and caves. One of the greatest places I’ve ever seen on this planet
Markus De — Google review
One of the most amazing places to be in milos. Built from volcanic rocks and only accessible with boat. Crystal clear waters and maybe one of the best swims you could have around the island! Totally worth visiting via daily cruises the island offers...

Took a tour by boat, and took us to the bay where we were able to swim around the bay, through some caves and relax on sone rocks. The scenery is beautiful, with these incredible rock formations everywhere you look; crystal clear waters.
It was quite busy with lots of other tour boats anchored. Still worth it.

Went there by boat Zephyros from the beach Agia Kyriaki (30€ per person), 4 hours so we had enough time to swim and enjoy Kleftiko

Although the obvious popular choice is to go on a boat to the bay, the hike is as good if not better of a choice. At just over a mile, the walk down gives you amazing views of the rocks and water. The bay itself is beyond beautiful and swimming through the arches is one of the coolest experiences you can ever experience. You must go here if you are on Milos.
Jackson Dunbar — Google review
Tl;dr
Beach only accessible by boat. Beautiful. Color of the water is great, transparent, can see the ground. Well worth it. Water is cold (May) but worth a dip. Stayed in area to the side of main beach with less boats, it can get pretty crowded. Bring some food and drinks and chill 👍 would go back
Felipe Borges — Google review
Great place for snorkeling, but you need to be careful, when there are too many tourist boats around.
The later you will get there the harder it is to find a good spot for your boat. Best thing would be to find a local skipper.

Wonderful place for a swim in a beautiful scenario. Only accessible via boat you need to choose one or many tours available in Milos. With a day tour we stayed there for more than a hour and it was great!
Psili Ammos, one of the most beautiful beaches in Serifos, is easily accessible and popular among visitors. The beach features fine sand that feels like a massage underfoot and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming. Despite its popularity, the area remains peaceful with two traditional tavernas offering delicious Greek cuisine. While reaching the beach involves descending a significant number of stairs and parking on the roadside, the stunning sea views and serene atmosphere make it worth the effort.
Beautiful sandy beach with trees that give you shade. We parked our car next to the taverna Stefanakos which is very close to the beach.
Stefano Pompilio — Google review
Best beach in Serifos with thin sand and fantastic clear waters, and some trees for shadow (armyrikia). There are two very nice taverns. Parking is available inside the tavernas, otherwise you have to park in the street and walk down a few metres..

One of the best beaches in Serifos! Avoid windy days and you will discover an amazing beach with crystal clear water and lot of tamerici. Easy to reach from Livadi, both by car or by bus; there are also 2 tavernas to get refreshment or eat.

This hotel was the best hotel we ever had on the Cycladic islands. Authentic, excellent located and extrem friendly service. The warm-hearted owner family supports you with everything you need. We had a beautiful sea view room with a balcony facing the Aegean sea. Is there something more beautiful than in the morning to open the shades and look into the deep blue sea. They serve a small breakfast which you pick and enjoy on your own terrace. The rooms are very quite and guarantee and excellent sleep.
The Way We Saw It — Google review
Definitely one of the most beautiful beaches in the Cyclades islands and of the favourites in Serifos.
Psili Ammos means “light sand” in Greek and that’s exactly what this beach is about: the sand is extra thin and literally massages your feet.
As for the water, it’s crystal clear, you almost feel blessed to bathe in such clean and fresh waters.
On the beach operate two taverns, Manolis and Stefanakos, both with delicious traditional Greek food.
The beach is not organised and there is no bars or loud music.
Do:
- bring your face masks for snorkelling
- bring a tent, as the wind can sometimes bring the sand into your stuff
- visit the beach for sunrise if you’re the adventurous type
- combine with nearby Agios Ioannis beach, Agios Sostis beach, Lia beach
Don’t:
- litter. The wind will sweep your trash away and into the sea
- occupy huge spaces for shade. The shade provided by the trees on the beach is not unlimited

Fabulous beach. Shallow crystal waters, fine sand, natural sand, sea daffodils blooming all around. There's a taverna by the beach.
annice in wonderland — Google review
One of the best beaches in Serifos island. Crystal waters accompanied by a depth that escalates slowly, is ideal for children. Keep in mind that there is no parking spot and you need to park on the sides of the road. Also you need to go down a significant number of stairs before you reach the beach, which has lots tamarisks for shade.
PS: grab your refreshments and water before you go there.
Paralia Kolona is the most famous beach on the island, featuring a stunning double bay with a thin strip of sand leading to an offshore islet. During low season, it's a favorite spot for yachts to anchor, while in high season it can get quite crowded. Accessible by sea taxi from Merihas or via a hilly road from Apokrousi beach, this unique beach offers beautiful natural surroundings.
In the end of September, the beach was almost empty and there were not so many boats around. Be aware that there are only two trees that give shade. Directly at the beach there is a restaurant we did not visit. They play modern music all the time which can be a bit annoying. It is worth walking up the hill to the church on top. The view is great. It is possible that some sheep crossing your way.
The way to the beach was not very easy. If you drive carefully and slowly it is okay to do it with a low car. There is no asphalt on the way and there are a couple of holes in the ground.
Stefano Pompilio — Google review
Beautiful place, not reachable by a smaller car. Quite a narrow road up and down the mountain to get there. Once you get there, it is extremely rewarding though.
Erwin — Google review
A beautiful special beach with clear water. Unfortunately, due to the closeness of Athens, there is a lot of boats here especially on the weekends. It can get very crowded. There is more pleasant beaches on the island close to this one, so you don’t necessarily need to stay where everybody is staying.
On the north western shore there is a little side beach that has a volcanic thermal spring with clear 38° water just on the beach. It is almost hidden and you can only see it when you are walking on the beach.
Markus De — Google review
Unique beach, the natural aspects are beautiful. The beach is not ruined by sun beds as the organized part is only around the beach bar. The downside is the music from the bar can be far too loud and the wild anchorage of the boats somewhat ruins the beauty. Road there is fine only the first 20 meters are rough the rest is fine.
Gwennael Guignard — Google review
Lovely beach - thoroughly spoiled. I came here 7 years ago and, whilst the beach was busy, it was quiet and you could find space to sit and enjoy the view out to sea. Now the bar is blasting Europop that can be heard the whole length of the beach (even heard it from the church on the island). And the view… well if you enjoy looking at people on their boats then you are in for a a treat. You can’t see the sea for the yachts . Just thankful we went by moped and could leave again - if you pay for the water taxi you are stuck there for a couple of hours.

The best beach in Kythnos by far. Be prepared for a quite tricky drive, as there is a non-tarmat road leading to the actual beach. There is a coffee/snack bar which is open after mid May. The surrounding area is very picturesque. A must see place when in Kythnos :)

Beach Kolones in Kythnos is a hidden paradise that promises a unique and tranquil escape. The golden sands blend with the azure Aegean Sea, framed by rugged cliffs that enhance its exclusivity.
The unspoiled charm of Beach Kolones offers a serene atmosphere, a welcome break from crowded tourist spots. Snorkeling reveals vibrant marine life. Prepare with essentials and embark on an unforgettable journey to this hidden gem. The addition of Kolona Experience Bar – Restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure. It's more than a restaurant – it's a celebration of taste, art, and innovation.

Not easy to reach by car as some 200 meters are very narrow even for one car! As there were more the 60 boats and yachts the water was not clear so the swim was less 3 seconds! But this piece of stand land is amazing!
Kaloussa Nafpaktitou — Google review
The most popular beach of the island and one of the most popular of the Cyclades islands!
The strip of land is wider than it seems from the pictures!
My suggestion is to be visited at mid-day as sun brings out all the beauty of this beach.
Lots of boats and yachts at both sides of the beach
Access by regular car is possible...the most difficult part is the steep first kilometer after apokrousi beach where the road is too narrow. Lots of YouTube video to clearly check this dirt road.
Ton Berns — Google review
A place of unreal beauty. For sailing enthusiasts, this is a great place. For many the beginning of long tours and for some safe place and excellent protection from all winds. We have been many times and every time we approach Kolona beach we feel the same charm from the beginning.

Beautiful piece full beach in Kea island. The resort is really good as well with friendly staff. Strongly recommend
Dimitri Raptis — Google review
The closest to an upscale beach in Kea. Organized for the most part, expensive sunbeds, bar & restaurant. Clear water, partly stony seabed. Sometimes contaminated with fuel oil from the many yachts around.
annice in wonderland — Google review
40 euros front row then 20 for back for 2 sunbeds and umbrella and two bottles of water. Freddo espresso the most expensive beach version sofar at 5 euro.
Yes place is expensive but the best beach for little kids as shallow sloping seabed. Nice sand. Shower and bathrooms and a good covered chilled out restaurant area.
Also great place when the island has a strong northern wind as you are not really affected by it here. Remember to take the tarmaced road from corissa up through kea, as sometimes the GPS takes you off road.. which is a fun adventure if you have a small 4x4, but usual small rental car will struggle.

Great sandy beach with cristal water: with the most amenities on the beach. Booking needed in advance AT THE BEACH (not by phone anymore). Great food choice (beach bar + restaurant). Music on the beach at good level (not too high: can read and sleep with no issue!)
Watersport equipment available on the other part of the beach.
Small issue: the beach bed slide from the frame compare to the other beaches I have done
The Temple of Poseidon, a cultural monument built in the 5th century BCE and located at Cape Sounion, offers stunning views of the sea. The temple was constructed from marble sourced nearby and boasts gleaming white Doric-style columns. Sailors approaching this region could spot the temple's white façade from afar, indicating that they were almost home.
An absolute beautiful site. The drive is gorgeous. We visited at sunset and it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. There is a yummy little restaurant I Def recommend eating at. If you have the chance definitely go see.
Erica Seegrist — Google review
The Temple has a stunning view, and apart from the hugely significant historic value, there is very little too the site. There is also the €10 entrance fee, which i would not describe as value for money. There is a cafe at the site which is friendly and serves food and drinks. But nothing else within walking distance (walking is on main road anyway). I visited the Temple of Poseidon in the morning (apparently the experience is much better at sunset for the views).
mike boogaard — Google review
The views at sunset are absolutely incredible. The place is not large, maybe a 30 minute leisurely stroll around it for some photos, but it is truly a great sight.
The restaurant nearby would be a nice place to relax and eat, however it closes around when the temple does so you need to be there earlier (something our tour guide did not include).
Caoimhin Doyle — Google review
Beautiful site! Listen to the waves crash into the rocks as you explore. No better location for a temple to the god of the seas! Can get a little crowded but the place is big enough to spread out. Make sure to wander all around, not just at the temple, there's lots to see and hear. Restaurant and gift shop are also right on sight.

Awesome place to check out. Make sure to take the scenic route down. If you do not have a car I would recommend a local guide, Instead of a shuttle bus. We booked one through air bnb and it was great!
Also, a heads up, it's $10 to get it but there is also a spot that you can get a great view and pics without having to pay, if you don't feel the need to see it up close. That's where these pics were from.

Stunning, a little busy but we went in October and it was possible to get photos without dozens of people in the foreground.

Must visit if you have the time when staying in Athens! I guess about 40 minutes out of town if no traffic. Not really any crowds, it's easy/fun to walk around and enjoy. Stunning perch looking out over at the sea and the structure is really amazing condition. We also had a delicious lunch down the hill where you could look up and enjoy.

Can definitely recommend visiting this place by rental car. Nice ride next to the shore for 1-1,5 hour from Athens.
All in all it is just some pilar remains of the Temple of Poseidon and some stone remains of houses and the harbour that used to be there.

Incredible to experience at sunset. Not only is it beautiful but the ruins are in very good condition. The views around the temple are fantastic! There is a cafe and small shop located just down so you can stop and take in the views. I recommend doing a tour to really appreciate the history behind it!
Hannah Joy — Google review
The trip from Athens to the temple is about an hour and a half car ride. The trip itself is on winding, beautiful, sea side roads. So, the trip itself is lovely. The temple of Poseidon is not as popular as the Acropolis, so you will basically have it to yourself. The views from the top of the hill are stunning. It’s worth the drive to see the view and to get photos that you’ll never forget.

Temple was amazing the went to was rubbish would sold that. Bus tour was no good. Because of protests we had to catch a train and then walk 5ks to catch the bus at the apocalypse it were basically having to run everywhere and then was told to hurry up because we're late. And on the evening tour we only had an hour and 20 minutes at the site so not enough time to see anything
They made it sound like you went too two adventures, but it was only one we had to pay again when we got there be careful of the fine print and then the bus was late getting back and we missed our dinner reservation because of traffic which they should have allowed for was told to hurry up and start running by the Young tour guide and I'm a man In my 50s I asked about a toilet was you told I should have gone before I got there! how rude and on the audio tour she questioned us on the way home like a bunch of five-year-olds my advice is make your own way there and you'll love it.

I highly recommend the temple of Poseidon. It is a beautiful and amazing site. The ruins still have some pillars standing and they are beautiful. The location is also great as you can easily spot it from afar.
You will need to pay the ticket to the archeological site.
There are toilets nearby as well as a restaurant.
The temple of Athena is also nearby.

We visited the Temple just before sunset so that we could watch the sun go down over the Agean and islands. This was a truly magical experience with the sky turning from colour to colour and becoming ever more beautiful as the sun descended. The temple itself is a wonder to see, both on a approach and when close up. It gets busy here but there is plenty of space to spread out on the cliff side with quite a few benches to be found for a good view of the sunset. It is obvious why the ancients decided to build here - it's one of those places you'll never forget.
Do yourself a favour and book a taxi excursion which are very affordable and similarly priced to the coach tours. We did and were grateful as we drove away whilst everyone else was queuing for coaches.

Beautiful place. We did not spend much time there as there is not much to see besides the temple itself and nice scenery. You can walk around there though. The drive to Athens to here was beautiful, the nature is absolutely gorgeous

We visited in October and glad that we had time to drive from Rafina. The drive was around 1 hour. The entrance fee was €10. The temple is magnificent both from afar and when we went closer. The view of the surrounding area was breath taking. We took our time walking around and taking photos. There is a cafe and museum on site. We went to visit the beaches outside the ruins after our visit.

One of the most beautiful places to enjoy a sunset in Greece, if not the whole of Europe!
The site closes permanently for the day right after the sunset, last possible entry being around 30 minutes before the sun sets itself.
Coming in march, all the flowers around were blooming and all the colors were adding a lot to the beauty of the place.
Although not perfectly preserved the Temple of Poseidon is really beautiful even in the state it is in.
Keep in mind that the sunset here draws a lot of tourists, including busses and private tours, so at times it can get a little busy, still not crowded and manageable.
There are on site free toilets and a restaurant with a souvenir shop, the prices being a bit high considering the touristic location.
Definitely a must see while around the Athens area!

We took the coastal drive from athens. The drive and the views were amazing. Parking could be a bit of a problem here, so plan ahead. The climb to the site and the views were amazing. When there, explore the area around the sea shore. There is a nice restaurant at the site as well.

Went here for the sunset tour with Ammonexpress. Awesome experience seeing the Poseidon Temple in various lighting as the sun slowly sets below the Aegean Horizon. The experience was better with the history of the temple explained by our knowledgeable tour guide.

Fascinating history and a beautiful temple. The surrounding coastal region is gorgeous. I recommend visiting right before sunset so you can watch the sun go down just beyond the islands.
Attica Zoological Park, located near Athens, is more than just a typical zoo. The park focuses on conservation and offers visitors the chance to see a wide variety of animals in environments that mimic their natural habitats. Highlights include dolphin shows, lemurs' enclosure, and interactive experiences like feeding giraffes with prepared salad. The large zoo also features picnic areas, a playground for kids, and a cafe with views of the giraffes' enclosure.
One of the very best zoological parks and definitely the best one in Greece. There is a reach variety of wild and domestic animals and is one of the most interesting places for kids. Try to see the water show (currently unavailable due to renovations) and the feeding of animals it’s really nice! Also, visit the closed areas that you can be near to the animals e.g. bats, monkeys etc.
Petros PAPAZOGLOU PAPAZOGLAKIS — Google review
Not far from the center of Athens there is a small but very interesting zoo, by car it takes about 25-30 minutes from the center of Athens, prices are okay. during the week no waiting time. is great for families with children.

The park is very clean and the animals seem well taken care of. There are many species, including lions, elephants, bears, monkeys, dolphins, crocodiles, turtles, snakes, butterflies, goats, eagles, swans, etc.
A very pleasant and educational experience - worth going with children.
The 4 stars are because the tickets are a bit expensive and the offers (eg family pack) do not save much.
George Karafotias — Google review
This place was much more than expected! There is a great variety of animals, such as tropical as well as wild birds, rhinos, wolfs and lions, snakes, crocodiles and many more. All animals are in clean and quite large cages, with trees inside, just as they would have been in their natural environment. It was a quite enjoying visit that I definetely suggest to anyone.

Absolutely amazing! Cannot fault this place at all! Animals well kept and healthy. You can see the passion and love they have for every animal. I would recommend going early as school kids attend and starts to get busier. Would definitely return as they plan to expand and they are a newly opened zoo. Best I've ever seen, much better than London Zoo!
Laura Rose — Google review
One of the best zoos in all of Europe. It is so big, you can easily spend all day walking around. There is also a huge variety of species from all over the world. Definitely a must see if you're in Athens. The only problem is that it is incredibly hard to get to with public transport from the city, but possible nonetheless.
Stefan Borisov — Google review
We loved that zoo, it is very big but not too big, the animals look well taken care of. Don't miss the lemurs! they jump and interact with you, and it is a one of a kind experience I think me and the kids will remember forever, the petting zoo with many goats was lovely, be sure to have 50 cents, so you can get some food to hand over to them. The rhinos and the sloth were also exciting.
Gal Florsheim — Google review
A must visit place when you are in Athens. The price is definitely worth it as they have a large amount of different species to look at. We spent a good 4 hours at the park.

One of my most favorite place in Athens.
We have purchased the yearly pass therefore whenever we have a free Sunday or we are closed by we would just pop in for a few hours.
We absolutely love the farm animals. So nice to feed and touch them.
The park is huge, we always find something new. My son can walk around, enjoy the playground.
They have a nice coffee shop with the most amazing view of the Safari animals. Every time we go we have a good time.
Monika Varga — Google review
One of the best experiences in visiting zoos across Europe. I went during weekdays, on a Thursday, it was not crowded, i got the chance to feed the giraffes and i witnessed the bird flying show, that was awesome. Its a great experience for children and grown-ups all along. Be sure to have cash money so you can buy food for the animals. And also, take some food for yourself, the local restaurant is pretty poor.
Cristi Popovici — Google review
Very good zoo. If you don't have the full day you should carefully program your visit. Feeding times are fun because the animals are more active.The lemurs are very friendly and the kids love them . The cafeteria is very good because you can enjoy your coffee and in the background you see zebras and giraffes.

A fine zoological park in Athens where you can spend half a day to observe the different animals, the birds, and the dolphin show. You can buy tickets at the entrance. There are restrooms and kiosks for buying snacks and drinks. The dolphin show happens on certain times.
You can get to this place via public transport.

I liked the zoo better than I thought (seen the earlier photos online and stuff). I went on a Sunday out of season, not that busy. Liked the animals that I saw, some had it better than others. It was a nice/okay zoo and liked it a lot. It was a lovely day. Do your own research and see if you would like to go as well or take the gamble for €21.
Sam Roskam — Google review
It was the best experience ever for us and our children too! It's a very large zoo, with so many different animals. We didn't expect to be able to feed the giraffes, that was an extreme experience for our little girls, they simply loved to feed the giraffes with salad. The keepers had green salad prepared for kids to feed them. We appreciate so much this way of interacting with animals. Another beautiful moment was at the dolphin pool, we could see them through some of the glass walls of the pool.
All in all, the whole zoo has great places and a bit of interaction with animals makes the experience even better.
We also recommend the inside store, you can find so many interesting toys and objects with the Attica Zoo theme.
Congratulations for all the work and dedication!
Scarlet Vacaru — Google review
Such a great experience to be able to see all those animals from all over the world just an hour away from Athens. Bonus that -as written on several signs- quite a few animals had been rescued and brought to the zoo.
PS. The park with the lemurs is an absolute must, only this even is a reason good enough to visit the zoo.
ladyginger — Google review
Its an overall great experience to go and learn about the animals and see them up close. There seems to be a change for the better in everything from the last time I've been to the park. Its cleaner both in the enclosures and all the rest of the park, its better organised with better paths and the shows with the dolphins and the birds of prey have been stopped. The price is a bit high in my opinion, which is 21€ as general admission and 16€ discount rate for students, elderly etc. While there seems to be an air of change for the better, some of the enclosures seem to be small for the animals, such as the enclosures of the california sea lions and the lions... Best experiences in the park, in my opinion, are the flying fox enclosure with the sloths, the butterfly enclosure with all the beautiful reptiles and the farm animals where you can pet baby goats and sheep! Another peculiar thing that we observed in our visit is that the prairie dogs have migrated to neighboring enclosures, such as the savanah and the rhinos, which seems wrong because they might as well left the zoo and no one knows about it..
Giorgos Darras — Google review
It was delightful and me and my boyfriend had so much fun. We went on a weekday and it was a bit cloudy and there weren't a lot of people, and all of the animals were outside because they weren't bothered by the heat since there was no sun. I played and hugged many king julians (lol), we saw and it was really exciting that they added spaces that were open and the animals were just walking freely. It was wonderful and will definitely be a really good experience especially to people struggling with their mental health. Absolutely loved it, plus the people that were working there seemed to really love the animals and their job. Wonderful, will definitely try to go at least 2 times a month❤️❤️
Vantina Kandilioti — Google review
This is a great zoo. The dolphin pool and the area where visitors could roam in the lemurs' enclosure (see picture) were definitely among the highlights. The kids had a blast with several of the animal exhibits as well as on the playground. The cafe had an incredible view of the giraffes' enclosure and we were lucky to have our snack time coincide with their feeding time (see picture). Last but not least, animal living conditions seemed relatively humane (given that it is still a zoo after all).

This is one of the best zoos in the world. The animals have large spaces to wander. Great viewing for guests. You also can walk amongst many of the species.
Garrett — Google review
A very well maintained facility offering a very satisfying experience to adults and kids alike. All exhibits are orderly and arranged in a very nice way, there are areas where you can get close to the animals (whether it is a feeding post for the giraffes or bird enclosures you can walk through the cage or the farm animals you can pet up close). The park has nicely put stops for coffee and refreshment, a playground to let the younger visitors play a bit and a nice coffee/restaurant, as -due to its size and distance from the town center- I would consider the Park a location for a day trip (needing 4-6 hours to enjoy everything).
Pro tip for the parents visiting: there are little wagons/push carts that are a good way to carry your kids and your kids' stuff, whenever they are out of stamina.
My only negative remark is that my oldest kid has some mild allergic reaction (either to some exhibit or plant or even a random and irrelevant irritant) and there was no organized first aid room or even kit for such cases ( I am a doctor myself, came in contact with the vets on the facility, but they just pointed me to external medicare).

Lake Vouliagmeni, located in the Athenian Riviera, is a scenic natural wonder with thermal mineral water. It is part of the National NATURA 2000 list and home to unique organisms like the Garra Rufa fish known for skin exfoliation. The lake's crystal-clear waters are fed by underground hot springs, offering a constant temperature year-round. Visitors can swim and enjoy the beautiful surrounding scenery.
AMAZING! An absolute must! If you want to escape the city & find the beaches too busy, this is the place for you! Beautiful, natural salt water lake with fish that nibble your dead skin cells! Lake is shallow & deep so great for everyone.
We paid €50 for a double sun lounger bed for the whole day. You can buy singles & there's tables & chairs too. There are toilets, changing rooms & they serve food & beverages.
There are life guards too so you can feel safe.
Get here early to grab a seat!!!
Penelope Swann — Google review
Wow! do not miss. Of all the attractions outside the center of Athens, this is a must-do attraction, unequivocally. If you come in warm months, don't give up. An amazing lake, clear and with all the best facilities and service.
It is a lake with water at a fairly constant temperature. There are sunbeds, tables and chairs and even some individual double beds on the waterfront (you have to book them in advance). There are small fish in the water that eat the dry skin. At first it tickles like crazy, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
There is enough space for everyone and you don't have to rush and run early in the morning.
The recommended and discounted way to get to the place from the center of Athens is by metro red line and get off at the last stop - Elliniko
From there take a taxi or Uber at a cost of about 12-14 euros and you are there. Don't wait for line 122, it never comes.
In any case, there is a restaurant and a bar where you can order food for a sunbed. The toilets are very clean and there are even private and clean showers, take your clothes and shower there!
Enjoy!

The lake is absolutely stunning, nestled amidst the cliffs, and the water is delightfully refreshing, making it perfect for hot summer days. The restaurant on the premises is excellent, serving especially delicious food, particularly the spare ribs. Prices are a bit on the higher side.
Mai Srugo — Google review
The good - this 2000 year old lake is naturally breathtaking. The natural "fish pedicure" is novel and the water is lovely and warm to swim in.
The not so good - it's a shame that natural beauty like this has been monopolised to the extreme. The food and drink is pricey and lacklustre. The waiting staff ask you to tip them for every drink or meal you purchase.
The bad - there were building works taking place literally right next to many sunbathers that meant you had the loud noise and smell/particles of cutting metal and concrete whilst you're trying to relax. We paid nearly 100 euros for basic entry, a few drinks and snacks so it felt very disappointing - quite a few people left because of it.
We also waiting 45 minutes for a bottle of water that we had to remind the staff 3 times for....

The most exciting thing about this place was the “Dr. fish.” I have never experienced them in the “wild“ before. If you sit on the stairs leading into the water, dozens of not scores of these fish will exfoliate your feet. The lake itself is kind of just a big swimming pool. All the activity takes place at the beach chair end of the lake. Do yourself a favor and pay a little extra to get a cabana or reserve the private area. The staff really isn’t friendly at all. All of them seem to treat the guests as a commodity that had to be dealt with not as a guest that should be treated with kindness and generosity. They did not treat you as though they valued you. This was my experience with all of them and I engaged with at least eight staff members. They were at best neutral and at worst rigid.

A wonderful day out from Athens, we took an Uber which cost around 20 euros. 15 euros entry. First come first serve with the sun beds but plenty available during the week (we went on a Friday). The staff were attentive and the food and drinks were delicious. I couldn’t recommend this place more- it was so relaxing. I saw another review that kids were asked to be quiet and this may be part of the reason why it was so enjoyable

Wow, what a place. As soon as you get there, you can’t help but be blown away by the location. We booked in advance as it does get busy, we went on a Friday in June and it wasn’t too bad. We hired a double bed with curtains and was perfect to keep in the shade. The water was amazing ans the fish nibbling at your feet was a bit strange to start with but you get used to it. The food was great and the cold beers were tasty. Staff were very helpful and offered waiter service to our bed. A great place you can spend the day at, we went the day we were leaving as it’s close to the airport and they had good showers so we could get ready to leave straight from there. Fantastic place and a must visit.

The lake really makes you fall in love at first sight.
The standard price is 16€ per person (parking included), but since we were there on a public holiday, we paid 19€ per person. The price includes unlimited access to the lake beach area and a sun lounger. Opening hours from 8:00-18:00.
On site it is possible to buy a swimsuit, towel, glasses, etc.
On the territory of the lake there is also a SPA and a restaurant.
After swimming in salt water, you have the opportunity to take a shower! And the water temperature in the lake itself is 22-29 degrees all year round.
A small but very pleasant surprise was the Garra Rufa fish, who happily “worked” on the beauty of our legs 😅 and this is also included in the price!

Interesting place to visit when in Athens. It’s a close public bus ride away and you pass by many of Athens public beaches.
You have to pay to enter, but it’s worth it. There are thousands of carp in the lake that will try and eat dead skin off your feet.
There is food service at the beach chairs and a nice restaurant on site.

Beautiful brackish-water lake with constant temperature year round. The lake has small fish on the outskirts that can give you a pedicure but if you’re more in the lake there’s no fish. The water is beneficial for the skin and the body. Definitely a relaxing place. Try to go early to enjoy. The only problem is food and drink is overpriced there.

Lovely place with friendly staff and a beautiful lake.
Food and drinks were tasty and the prices didn't seem too ridiculous (for a British person!).
Everything was also served in lovely biodegradable packaging so bonus marks for that!

Once upon a time natural places like these were accessible to everyone regardless of their financial situation but not anymore... You will need to pay 17 euros per person to get in regardless of the time of day. Please do Greece a favor and do not support places like these. If the entry was a few euros say 1,2, or 3 it would be ok but this place is strictly focused on maximizing profits.

The prices are not attractive at all.
Only 4-5 restaurants in such a big place, on lunch time it was a crazy line for each restaurant. In the end we just took noodles from a food truck.
No directly bus fro city center or airport. Meet taxi or change bases.

To reach this place from central Athens, can take metro blue line M3 from Syntagma and dropoff at Pallini. From Pallini, just go out of the metro to the bus stop on the left and take bus 319 to the Designer outlet. Place is large and clean and there is another shopping place next to it as well. In terms of prices, most designer outlets in UK or Aussie might fetch better discounts but the Zara outlet there has good sale.

For an outlet the prices are great. You can find designer bags and shoes for more than 50% off. Great selection of designer eyewear!

Really beautiful beach 😍 the coast is sandy, seawater is clean.
This place isn’t crowded ( in the middle of June)
I was missing the bar and coffee shop or tavernas therefore only four stars for me…( this place is so far the supermarket and any possible of buying)
If you want you can get a sunbed as well.

Went there on a mid-sunny May afternoon.
Definitely not overcrowded (maybe due to the time period) but a very nice and picturesque beach!

I had wished to visit this place for many years and, finally, I did. We are all familiar with the Marathon contests all around the world, but, this is the The Place, the origin, from where the Greek soldier Pheidippides, ran to Athens to report victory in the Battle of Marathon; he died of exhaustion after delivering the good news. Today's runners, fortunately, survive, although any Marathon race is extremely demanding.
Visit the place with me, you are in no danger, enjoy good food and coffee at the shore of the Marathon Lake (it's an artificial one), wander the picturesque landscape, watch birds and just relax. Have a nice trip!

Do NOT use this route. This map leads u to middle of nowhere, on dirt road, you will see valleys with trees burnt, and then dirt road track ended, field of wild flowers and grass filled the area, we had to make a u-turn to get out. DO NOT use this route if you want to visit Lake Marathon. Instead, if you must visit, pick the Lake Marathon panoramic view on Google map. It’s over-rated.

It's a lovely place. The water is perfectly clear and while snorkelling you can observe many different fishes. There's a lot of natural shade from the trees - it's definitely the most beautiful beach on Poros. Shower, changing room, clean toilets: Best facilities we've had at a beach.
But it's crowded: We were there in June and had to be there early (before 11am) to get the last free set of sunbeds - price was 12€ per set which is normal on Poros. There's not much space to sit without one, so in the end you will probably have to pay to use this beach. Service staff is friendly, although we didn't eat or drink something.

Nice little beach with catch name. The waters look nice from above, but when you get in, you'll realize they are pretty muddy. OK for 1 time but it wouldn't be my favorite beach. The beach bar offer some sunbeds but at full season it's very very crowded.

Amazing beach, beautiful as you can see in pics. Should be plastic free, but they provide every drink with straw and lid in plastic cup. Food is really average, dont recommend it. But nice friendly staff. Overall i really liked the beach, but could be improved.

The bay is good and natural. You can reach from the center to Neoris by boat and walk to this bay for about 5 minutes. But the sea is not the best. It gets blurry because of the sand after a while.

Beautiful setting, clean waters and good prices.
The only thing I would criticize is 15€ charge for the set of loungers. A little steep but if you are going to stay for a few hours, it is fine.
Definitely recommend

It was my long walk on New Year's day, came all the way from the port that's downtown Poros & it was absolutely stunning! No wonder it's crowded in the summer, there were others enjoing a little picnic on the same day, such a quiet lovely place with crystal clear waters, looking forward to visiting again in the summer!

It is a petite cute beach that is excellent for quiet relaxing time. The bay is surrounded by deep vegetation which ensured its privacy. That is how the name came. It is very popular with couples or even people who prefers quiet calm environment. The water is sea green, clear. The sand is a little red to brown but sandy. The bay water is also calm enough, making it a perfect place for holidays and romantic outings. A narrow road surrounds the bay, but there is not much traffic in it. The bay has shower and drinking facilities.

One of the most idyllic beaches in Poros. You can get coffee and sunbeds and enjoy the view. Unfortunately on the day we visited the waves had brought some sort of industrial foam probably from the many yachts that roam on the waters. The sea did still look clean but we did not risk going in. It could have been a single event who knows but the locals told us that the sea is not that clean there due to its geographical location and the yacht season. Still a must see though.

A very good beach, if you're into beach bars that is. It's surrounded by beautiful nature and has plenty of shade even at noon. However the sunbeds occupy most of the space and there is little space for those who wish to sit on their own.

❤ The best little beach on Poros ❤
A short hop and jump from Poros town ( 3.3 km ) you'll find Love Bay. It's a small and very cosy beach that will help you unwind and calm down from the every day hustle and bustle.
Here you will find a few hundered sunbeds with umbrellas, a changing room, his and hers toilets and a fully stocked bar serving sandwiches, soft drinks, ice creams, beers and drinks . And did I mention the very friendly staff 👍👍👍
The bay itself deserves 5 stars. The water is bright green and blue and really fresh. And they play soothing music from the loudspeakers to help you relax🎶
Whats not to love about this place❤❤❤

A very nice and cozy small beach with nice waters. A small canteen offers coffee etc and there is plenty of shadow from the trees. One of the best beaches of the island.
Flisvos Marina is a prominent marina located in the Athenian Riviera, known for being one of the largest in Greece with a capacity to accommodate over 300 vessels, including luxury yachts and boats. The surrounding area offers an array of restaurants, cafes, and bars that provide stunning views of the Saronic Gulf. Visitors can marvel at luxurious yachts while enjoying exotic cocktails on the waterfront.
Nice, clean area! Water is cristal clear and a lot of fish can be seen! We were there with the kids and it was a really nice experience! A lot green areas, where we could even find a wild tortoise. I do not have to say how excited the little girls were :).
I enjoyed the boats very much especially the Averof. Unfortunately we could not visit because of the Easter holidays, but i enjoy seeing them nevertheless.

One of my favourite places to go for a walk, coffee, drink or food. By the marine the view is wonderful, plenty of people go there so you are most likely to bump onto your friends.
Plenty of options for food and drink with good prices.
Totally recommended if you see yourself near there.
Who knows I might see you there.

Flisvos Marina is an exceptional marina that exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff who made sure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The marina itself is beautifully designed and maintained, with state-of-the-art facilities and amenities that made our stay a true pleasure.
The location of Flisvos Marina couldn't be better. Situated in the heart of Athens, it offers breathtaking views of the sea and the city skyline. We loved being able to easily explore Athens and all of its cultural and historical attractions, while also having access to the marina's restaurants, cafes, and shops.
One of the things that really stood out to us was the level of service we received at Flisvos Marina. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed, from arranging transportation and activities to providing us with insider tips on the best places to visit and dine in Athens.

Great Marina, close to central Athens and is filled with many motor yachts. It also has a nice promenade where you can walk along water with many restaurants and cafes and ice cream parlours.
There is also a naval museum nearby which has one of the warships that help grease during the world war and also a try room replicated from ancient Greece that helped the Greeks win the major naval battle of Salamis, through their cunning. Which was a major turning point in history.

A lovely place to walk, jog, dine or have a drink. There is a limited parking area with a fee although you can reach the Marina by tram (Trocadero stop) or bus. There are ATMs, a leisure area for children, even a boat museum. The array of luxurious yachts are worth the visit.

Here is docked the Battleship Averof, the most historic warship of modern Greece, and a Ancient warship Trireme (an ancient Greek war galley with three banks of oars) real scale replica that was used to thrward the Persians in 480bc in the battle of Salamis.
Very neat and clean space. It has a nice promenade where you can walk along water with many restaurants and cafes.
Suitable at all times of the day and all months of the year, even winter!
It's a beautiful place ideal for a walk by the sea.

Although a little pricey, it is a very nice upscale restaurant located right by the water with a 180 degree ocean view of Egina and other islands. I was also impressed by being given the opportunity to select the super fresh seafood from a fairly large selection. The fish was cooked to perfection and we enjoyed it a lot, along with a nice bottle of white wine. We spent a couple of hours, enjoying the seafood, sipping the wine and admiring the beautiful ocean and surrounding scenery. I would highly recommend it !

The Averof warship, now a majestic museum at Marina Flisvou in Athens, carries a rich legacy from the early 20th century. Here’s a brief historical outline:
1. Commission and Construction: Ordered by the Greek Navy in 1910, constructed in Italy, and commissioned in 1911.
2. Balkan Wars: Played a pivotal role in securing Greek naval supremacy with notable victories in 1912 and 1913.
• The naval Battle of Elli (December 16, 1912): The Greek Navy, under the command of Rear Admiral Pavlos Kountouriotis, engaged the Ottoman Navy at the entrance of the Dardanelles. The Greek flagship Averof significantly outmaneuvered the Ottoman fleet, securing a decisive victory that established Greek naval supremacy in the Aegean.
• The naval Battle of Lemnos (January 18, 1913): A subsequent encounter where the Greek Navy further asserted its dominance over the Ottoman Navy, solidifying control over the Aegean Sea.
3. World War I: Initially under a neutral Greece, it participated in naval operations with the Allies post-1917.
4. Greco-Turkish War: Active in 1919-1922, aiding in evacuating refugees and troops.
5. World War II: Utilized as a training vessel, later a floating barracks, and evaded Axis capture in 1941 by relocating to Souda Bay, Crete.
6. Post-War: Returned to Athens in 1944 and was decommissioned in 1952.
7. Museum Ship: Towed to Palaio Faliro in 1984 and now rests as a floating museum at Marina Flisvou, preserving its maritime legacy.
Following the historical trail, the Averof Museum presents a brilliant opportunity for families, especially young children, to delve into Greece’s glorious naval history. Here are the aspects that make it a delightful and educational venture:
1. Interactive Learning: The museum’s setup encourages children to interactively explore the ship, offering a lively glimpse into Greece’s naval traditions.
2. Educational Material: Various exhibits and information panels enrich the understanding of the ship’s adventures, significant naval battles, and sailor life.
3. Engaging Exhibits: Well-preserved compartments, artillery, and artifacts on board captivate the imagination, enhancing the learning experience.
4. Guided Tours: Insightful guided tours by knowledgeable personnel make the historical narrative engaging and easy to grasp for young minds.
5. Safe Environment: The museum ensures a safe and pleasant ambiance for family exploration.
6. Inspiration: A visit instills a sense of pride and respect for the valorous deeds of the Greek navy, igniting young minds about the values of bravery, duty, and patriotism.
The Averof Museum is not merely a recreational outing but a meaningful educational journey, rendering history accessible and thrilling for the younger generation, and offering a wholesome activity for the whole family.

Beautiful walkable marina. Lots of cafes and restaurants to choose from. Highly recommend if you have time.
The ruined Doric temple, constructed around 5th-century BC, was dedicated to the Ancient goddess Aphaia. The remarkably preserved remains of this temple are located on a hill covered in pine trees providing an extensive view of the Saronic Gulf. The structure was built in honor of a local deity from a pre-Hellenic era and featured magnificent sculptures depicting the Trojan War on its pediments.
I never get tired of visiting the Temple of Aphaia, one of Aegina island's must see unique attraction that is situated on a hill ... with beautiful views & lots of pine trees ... about 15 km from the islands capital. 👍😊
Since prehistoric times ( 1300 B.C.) it's been a place of worship ... a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Aphaia.😍
Next to the temple there is a small archeological museum, the Museum of Aphaia, where parts of the temple are on display. Across from the Temple you will see a simple cafeteria where I've enjoyed some beverages ... that was nice: especially if you are visiting on a hot summer day!

Must visit. Not very crowded, it’s a very well preserved temple, one of the most important ones in this part of Greece too. They had both the Parthenon and Sounion in sight so those three temples used to communicate with each other visually, even though they are dozens of km from each other!
Also - visit the cafe for a coffee - they serve a surprisingly good one and the view is stunning!

This monument is well preserved and maintained. It’s hard to believe that this temple was from 500 BC.
Most of its pillars, structures, inner and outer features are still standing.
There’s a shop and cafe close to archeological site you can buy drinks, light finger foods and souvenirs there.
The shopping mini complex also has a restroom open to everyone.
Parking here is by the side of the road so it is limited.

This temple is pretty well preserved on the Greek island of Aegina. Or at least as much as anything can be at 2000+ years old. The temple is at the top of a mountain, surrounded by a fence and normally cost 6 eu to enter, but ous was already covered. Anyway you can see some real dedication with people quarrying these enormous stones and then of course dragging them up to the top of the highest mountain around. Anyway it's a beautiful site.

Impolitely behavior from the entrance crew, who did not allow us to on board on High Speed Aero 1, although we were justifying accompanied with our parents that necessary documents would be sent in a minute (as we were in the process from downloading them from our mobiles). It is really disappointed to see that the crew staff disregarded coast guard’s advice to permit us to on board on the vessel,as in a few minutes they would have in their hands the necessary documents. Concluding, today’s incident it was really an unprofessional behavior from your staff towards yours clientele and I would not recommend Hellenic Seaways for future trips.

Worst service ever. To start absolutely no indication on the location of “deck E8”, we almost missed the boat after a 25 minutes walk on the harbour…
In the boat they asked us more money for the tickets already bought online. They then separated us because the boat was “full” (not even 10% of the seats were occupied) although we were only 5 people. They tried to check our tickets 3/4 times always in an angry manner, taking the phone from our hands and almost shouting at us. Talking to customers like this is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE.
The boat itself is very comfortable for what it does but other than that, very bad customer experience.
I would definitely not recommend it.

Hellenic seaways offer a vast array of destination to the Islands with fast rotax or aero boat and other diverse options. An efficient way to travel on the sea in Greece.
A beautiful place, although it looks best from a distance and at night, when it is beautifully lit. While there, be sure to go up the mountain, taking a serpentine trail along the slope, and visit the monastery, light a candle and see Nectarios' tomb.

Move over, Temple of Aphaia, this church is beautiful! If you're fortunate enough to have found yourself on Aegina, a visit to this neo-byzantine church is a must. Unfortunately for me, the center of the church was completely covered in scaffolding but, the outside was sublime. Tip: sneak up the back of the church at sunset for incredible photos!

You can quickly reach the Monastery by bus. Wonderful peace, the smell of flowers and trees.
The architectural work of art is the church itself.
It is pleasant and inspiring to walk to the Monastery with a beautiful view of the surroundings. There is also a museum dedicated to the work of Saint Nektarios.
The spiritual rapture that overwhelms you in this holy place does not need to be highlighted.
Across the street from the building is a small restaurant where you can have a drink or something to eat.

Pretty interesting church - the architecture and the colour scheme makes it stand out from its surroundings. It has quite a well decorated interior and is very well maintained. There were some scaffolding in the church when we went, but it doesn’t really make much difference to our visit.
This place is accessible by the A1 bus that runs from the port of Aegina (though the frequency may be very limited - so plan your time properly if you intend to catch it!). A place that is worth visiting if you are already planning to visit the island, but otherwise wouldn’t really recommend coming to Aegina just for this attraction.

Paralia Aponisos is a picturesque pebble beach located in a small cove, offering sheltered swimming and the option to rent loungers. It is part of an exciting day trip itinerary that includes stops at three stunning locations in the Saronic Gulf. Visitors can explore Agistri Island's charming alleyways, relax on its pristine beaches, and immerse themselves in its natural beauty.
What can I say.. This place has everything. Perfect service, variety of beaches depending on what you like(sand, rocks, deep, shallow). This was definitely my favorite beach/place on the island, and I could easily go there every day if I had more time. 10 euro for 2 regular sunbeds and umbrella, plus 2.5 euro if you wish for wooden sunbeds for each one. On the umbrella you will find a black button so you can call the waiter/tress when you are ready to order. This place is beautiful!!!!!

This is the best beach on this island. Dont worry about the bad comments. You can take the bus from Skala every quarter past and arrive in 15 minutes.

We came at 3 on sunday and had no difficulty in finding one. Seashoes are good idea. But there arent many urchins.
The Old Evripos Bridge, also known as the Chalkida Old Bridge, is a charming arched traffic and pedestrian bridge that was constructed in 1962 to connect the island of Evia to mainland Greece. It spans the Euripus Strait and offers stunning views both during the day and at night. The bridge is a popular attraction in Chalkida, offering visitors the opportunity to take leisurely walks along the waterfront esplanade or drive across its expanse.
The Chalkida Old Bridge is an absolute gem that is definitely worth a visit! The sunset views with all the lights illuminating the bridge create a magical ambiance. Taking a leisurely walk along the pathwalk surrounded by restaurants and bars adds to the charm of the experience. It was the perfect spot for us to stay and avoid going to Athens for an early flight. If you're looking for a picturesque and convenient location, the Chalkida Old Bridge is a must-visit destination. Don't miss the opportunity to soak in the breathtaking scenery and enjoy a memorable time by the bridge!

The local kayak club take advantage of the crazy water.
Fascinating to watch.

Lovely place for a short trip from Athens.
Best fish taverns and best place for walk close to seaside.
Calm city.
This aerial photo can show you the beauty of this place.
This bridge also used long years before for extreme sports.

A beautiful city, a historic bridge, the phenomenon of sea water under the bridge, a mild climate. An ideal place for the most famous inhabitant of Chalkida Aristotle.

It is one of the most enchanted places in Loutraki, you will be full of ancient energy, the air of mountain views and the magic stories whispered by pines and wildflowers.

It was a deeply moving experience to visit the remains of the saint in the cave and then to emerge onto the veranda and take in the astonishing view across the Gulf of Corinth.

Breathtaking view, very warm and welcoming nuns.
When I was in the cave, I felt like I wanted to stay there more.
May Saint Patapios pray for us to the Mighty Lord

Fantastic views of Loutraki & Corinth.
Can get very windy obviously due to the altitude.
Parking can be an issue as technically you aren’t meant to park outside the front which is reserved for buses.

The road to get there has a lot of turns and the monastery is located halfway up a mountain. There are also about 100 stairs you need to climb to get to it. It has a great view. The photos have been taken before climbing the stairs.

The St. Patapios Monastery is set on a hill (mountain) just above, north from the sea side town of Loutraki. Have in mind this is not the Monastery you see on that same hill from Loutraki beach. The St. Patapios Monastery is further up, secluded in the mountain, hard to spot down from the town.
A 15-20 min narrow winding road drive takes you to a parking lot from where're several flights of steps to the Monastery.
You can visit a nicely decorated small Church, as well the cave with St. Patapios relics.
Best of all are the outstanding views from there - towns of Loutraki and Corinth, the Ionian side entrance to Corinth canal and both, Ionian and Aegean Sea.
It's a nice 2 hours excursion from Loutraki I strongly recommend, both cultural and scenic

After 144 steps you will find a beautiful view....
This is a functioning monastery, a really important place for believers. After sitting in the church, I watched with what sincere love and respect the parishioners enter this small miniature church and with what love they show it.
The nuns are very friendly. They go about their business, not paying attention to tourists and communicate with you if you ask them in a grudge. One woman there speaks English and apparently is engaged in the administrative part of the household.
Tourists are allowed to come and, apparently in our time, at the expense of tourists, they receive a small income for running a household in the monastery

Great place to visit. The view is amazing from here with a beautiful church outside and one in the cave with the body of the saint that you can see. The drive can be a little sketchy, but it's paved all the way up and safe, just go slow!

Amazing views my favorites in the area. High spirituality. Very welcoming. Exquisite visit.
The Hosios Loukas Holy Monastery is a magnificent Byzantine-style religious complex established in the 11th century. It is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and situated between the towns of Distomo and Kyriaki, about 23km southeast of Arahova. The monastery comprises two churches, including the principal church that houses some of Greece's most exceptional frescoes from the Byzantine era. Visitors are expected to dress modestly (no shorts).
Amazing exemple of Byzantine culture and religion. Now we can see not only perfect wall frescoes and mosaic from X cent., but also olives maschine, monastic garden, cells, cemetery. The place of cult of St Luka of Steira from IX/X cent.

We saw this monastery a few days after the area had been ravaged by wildfires. The air still smells of the burning. The monastery was saved but some side buildings were burnt as the fire came to the very edge of the ancient property on Mount Parnassus from the 11th century (modern by Greek standards).
We loved the church and the artwork across the property. It has an amazing history and contains the tomb of the founder, now Saint Luke. Great gift shop.

Roughly 40 minutes drive from Delphi.
Worth a visit for the lovely mosaics and murals and the amazing views. But a number of areas that seemed like they normally would be open were closed off. Admission appeared to be free unless you wanted to visit the museum building, we paid to be nice (only 4 euros each) but skipped it since we were short on time. There’s a small snack and museum shop on site.

Beautiful and peaceful setting in the mountains in Greece. Absolutely worth a visit if you're already headed to Delphi.

Beautiful place, an amazing church, almost like Agia Sophia in Istanbul. The mosaics are wonderful with gold from Ravena.
I would have like more time to explore the monastery. Well worth the visit, even if not the religious kind to appreciate the architecture.

Neat little monastery to check out. I would have loved more information on the saint it is dedicated to, but a beautiful place.

A true highlight of the day trip to Delphi. If you are on an organized tour, make sure they allot at least an hour to view everything.

Sublime and well preserved monastery, with breathtaking view over the olive trees landscape. My tips :
*/ better visit at the end of day, when the sunlight is warmer and fewer visitors on site
*/ don’t forget to visit the “olive press” part, a bit hidden at the end of the visit

Peace and Beauty. Absolutely a marvelous holy place, quiet and serene with amazing views and lovely people. I was so welcomed at mass, the locals noted my quiet awe at where they worshipped that after mass a local walked me to the icons the resting place of thier Saint and despite a language barrier I knew and she conveyed the special place this was. Thank you Greece, I arrived a guest and left like family.

Great stop on your way to Delphis. Stop for a visit at a very nice untouched place. Recomend to look at their open days and hours. The road is good and you can also eat a lunch at their local shop. Nice staff and a beautiful place to visit. It was very hot on the day we were day but we really liked it. Enjoy your visit looking over the montains and olive trees. Try they´re local pistachios.

We visited Hosios Loukas from Meteora on our way to Athens. Located near the town of Distomo, it is a nice stopover although the road condition was not always good. This is definitely a scenic monastery in the valley, and I saw l lots of olive trees and grapes on the way. The ticket is just 2 euros, but you definitely need your own car to come all the way here.
