The beaches on the Greek islands are some of the best in all of Europe!

Let's take a look at a list of our country's beautiful and popular beaches below!

 

Paradise Beach, Mykonos

Paradise beach on the island of Mykonos attracts thousands of tourists and party lovers from all over the world every year.

Its golden sands and crystal-clear waters make Paradise Beach the number one seaside destination for clubbing! Even more so than the famous Ibiza.

By day, enjoy swimming in the azure waters, and by night, join the island's most popular party!

Paradise beach is a place that never sleeps in summer. It has some of the most popular clubs that host the most spectacular parties every day of the tourist season.

 

Panteronisia (or Lagoon), Antiparos

Antiparos is located in the heart of the Cyclades, just 1.6 km from the island of Paros.

It is one of the popular excursions for tourists visiting Paros. It features sandy beaches and wonderfully clear waters.

Panteronisia is a small complex of islands situated between Paros and Antiparos. They are widely known as the Lagoon due to the clear waters and the colours created by reflections.

Enjoy a unique boat trip to Panteronisia to swim in the turquoise waters and discover the beautiful sea caves.

 

Mylopotas Beach, Ios

It's very easy to forget about the beaches on this party island!

Yes, this island, which most people visit in their late teens, is full of nightclubs, famous DJs making guest appearances, and many pool parties.

So, even though Mylopotas is famous for its beach clubs, it also boasts incredible beaches and secluded coves.

It is Ios's most well-known beach, stretching for one kilometre with countless beach bars. You can enjoy many water sports, play volleyball or raquettes, and, of course, enjoy a swim or a cocktail.

A dip in the azure and pristine waters will revive you after a late night, and if you want to continue the party, simply walk to the end of the beach where you'll find the Far Out Beach Club, the island's most popular spot where something is always happening!

 

Vrika Beach, Antipaxos

Vrika beach is one of the most popular beaches on Antipaxos.

To reach Vrika beach – a truly secluded paradise – simply take a sea taxi from Gaios port.

The impressive blue colour of the water is due to the fine sand beneath it, making it the ideal spot for exploring with your mask and snorkel.

 

Lakka, Paxos

Lakka harbour is tucked away at the northern tip of Paxos.

It is characterised by its verdant landscape and the turquoise waters of the bay. Explore the island on a scooter and then enjoy swimming and cooling off in the clear waters surrounding the island of Paxos.

In the evening, enjoy a drink at one of the bars dotted along the waterfront. Paxos is an island you'll never forget!

 

Valtos Beach, Parga

The beautiful Valtos beach is a short walk from the town centre and is the ideal place to relax under the Mediterranean sun. Valtos beach is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece.

The beach boasts 3 kilometres of coastline with beautiful white sand and soft pebbles. Relax on your sun lounger as you enjoy the Venetian castle perched atop the hill.

For the more active, you can try jet-skiing and various other water sports. The best way to explore the beauties of the sea is to hire a canoe.

 

Bonus: Seychelles Beach – Ikaria

Seychelles beach in Ikaria was formed by land subsidence when the road and tunnel were being built directly above the beach.

It is a difficult-to-access beach, reached either by small boats (kaikis) from nearby villages or by a rather challenging descent down the cliff.

If you plan to attempt the descent on foot, opt for trainers rather than flip-flops!

Once you reach the beach, you will admire the wonderful colours and the unique landscape created by the rocks directly behind it!
