What are the best beaches in Greece?
With 15km of sand-lined coast across its islands and mainland, Greece definitely isn’t short of a beach or two. It was really hard to narrow it down, but we’ve gathered some of our favourite Greek beaches below:
Red Beach (Santorini) – a small, rustic cove surrounded by red-toned hills and volcanic rocks - get your camera ready!
Super Paradise Beach (Mykonos) – a lively beach bursting with watersports, beach clubs and music that’s sure to get you dancing
Elafonissi Beach (Crete) – an islet lined with white and pink (yep, pink!) sands, as well as clear, shallow waters - perfect for snorkellers or young paddlers
Navagio Bay (Zakynthos) – the most famous beach on the island, also known as Shipwreck Beach due to the ancient ruins that jut from its sands - it can be reached by car or boat
Kavourotrypes Beach (Halkidiki) – recognised as one of the best beaches in Greece, ideal for sunbathing or relaxing in the dappled shade from the surrounding trees
