Great beach. Was a bit windy and had a bit of big waves but we were still able to enjoy the beach. For sure make sure to have all your things since there was no food/sunbed/umbrella available for rent

Myrtos Beach is a really nice beach with a long shoreline. The shore is rocky, and the sea gets deep very quickly I think my feet no longer touched the bottom after just two meters. The beach itself is clean, but unfortunately the sea had washed a lot of debris and plastic onto the shore, so it was more pleasant to swim further out, away from the floating trash. The waves were quite big, but the water was surprisingly warm. And the view from above the beach? Absolutely phenomenal. Truly unforgettable!

A beautiful beach, usually with great waves. The main section is quite crowded, but if you walk to the far edge, you'll have the place almost to yourself.

This is one of the most famous beaches in Ionian. It's definitely worth a visit. A little bit overhyped, but still a must go. It can be super hot during mid-day, so i suggest early morning visit to avoid the crowd and the direct sun. Waves in the afternoon can also be tricky. Take care.

A beautiful, wide beach. Most of it is sandy, but near the entrance to the water, the sand is mixed with small pebbles. Those with sensitive feet should consider water shoes. The beach is surrounded by steep cliffs, and the view is spectacular. I visited in June. Of course, there are quite a few people here, but it's such a large beach area that it doesn't feel crowded. The parking lot at the beach is quite small, and by 11:00 AM it was already full. There are no restaurants, and there are no sunbeds or umbrellas. The water is a beautiful color, but because it's a sandy beach, underwater visibility is very poor. In short, it's one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.
