Only dealt with a single member of staff but ruined the experience for us. There are 5 places to sit on the beach, each with two loungers (comfortable), an umbrella, and a small table. After being sat for 20 mins, a member of the staff asked us if we needed any help, I said no, thank you. The reply was it's €10/hour to sit here, I said okay, no problem, do you accept a card or mobile payment? I'm not sure how that was translated, but I feel he took extreme offence to this. As the response was a frown huff puff and a grunt. He then approached others who sat on lounger beds. He then returned and said, "How long are you staying with a card machine in hand?" When making the payment, the card machine failed 3 times (signal issue), which he implied was a fault of mine. Eventually, he managed to complete the transaction. Handed me the receipt, I said thank you, and he ignored my gratitude. Also offered zero gratitude for my custom or anything. Then dragged my lounger 3" so it was hit with water, no issue to me but everyone was just rolling eyes as I was now closer to the chap on my right, than my wife and daughters to my left. The beach itself is extremely rocky, and if you don't get there early you won't get a bed. Without a bed it isn't a great beach to settle. That said, it's crazy busy as it's promoted locally. Dropped off by coaches frequently and nowhere to go once dropped. We arrived at 08:30 and got the last loungers. We had to pay from 09:30 when they officially opened, however by 11:30 it was unbearably crowded. At peak times, there's more wriggle space in a tin of sardines.

The water is beautiful but the beach is very crowded in high season even in the morning. The beach is really very small so the pitches are hard fought for, .Parking costs for 2 hours five euros for the whole day seven euros. We drove again after 1 hour as it was too much for us and we hardly had space .Furthermore, the sulfur smell is to be noted.

Beautiful series of three very pretty beaches. The first one you encounter when arriving from Zakynthos Town is the most famous for having thermal currents that flow into the sea. Absolutely a day of relaxation and tranquility. Paid parking but well maintained. Before arriving at the beach you can climb to an open space where there are bars, restaurant and gift shop and enjoy the view

Xigia is a beautiful, but very small beach. It has only a few sunbeds, interesting being their price, which is 10 euros an hour! Obviously, no one gives you a receipt for those 10 euros. The sea water is wonderful, nearby there is a spring of cold water with collagen. A few days here will make your skin more beautiful. The water is deep, cold as I said, with rocks from which you can jump into the sea. The sun is very strong at noon, and the possibilities of sitting in the shade are reduced.

Pebble beach, uncomfortable access but worth it. Very steep staircase to access not recommended for those with walking problems. Convenient bar service instead because you can order from under the umbrella. The bathroom is before the descent for a fee.

They are two beaches: going down to the right full of people, going down to the left better because equipped beach. 25€ or 30€ two sunbeds with umbrella. They bring you drinks and food or go back to the tavern. Beautiful sea until 14:00 until a boat full of people comes and stops with the engine running to make a hundred people swim. Ah I forgot, the beach goes in the shade early: the first slice of shade begins at 14:00.

I fell in love with this beach, very picturesque. It is small and crowded, I suggest you to go in the afternoon or early in the morning around 9 a.m. on your left hand you may find a fabulous cave where you can take amazing pictures. Don’t leave the island without visiting this place.

The sea is excellent and is part of natural thermal baths. The strong smell comes from the sulfur, something not ⁇ tragic I would say. It has parking at a low price. More generally, it is unorganized and gathers a lot of people, so one has to go early to enjoy it. It definitely needs closed shoes, as access to the beach is made through a steep slope.

We visited just before the summer season starts in Zakynthos so it was very quiet with only a couple of visitors. We parked on the roadside as the parking was closed but there will be parking available when the season opens. It is a very steep walk down (and even steeper back up!). The smell of sulfur is strong in the air. The waters are not clear due to the mineral content but felt lovely on the skin.
