What people are saying

“Fuel in the sea caused severe dermatitis”

Jul 2024

The place and beach is very beautiful however keep in mind that the tourist boats come to the very beach each hour every day and they release diesel fuel into the water. It dissolves quickly but you can sometimes see the mark in the water. Our child got massive dermatitis after swimming here, we were investigating the cause and unfortunately this is the worst experience from vacation. Nobody cares about the health of people swimming here

Nice hike from Plakias to this nice protected beach, lots of lounges. Nice restaurants with reasonable menu items. Easy access from surrounding areas.

Great beach

Jul 2020

Spacious beach with a couple of rows of sunbeds, but never too crowded. Sandy, and shallow water close to the shore. Ideal for relaxation and just swimming. The only thing to keep in mine: Check windspeed before going because anything above bf4 may spoil your experience.

Stunning location

Oct 2019

Beautiful quieter beach. Spoilt to some extent at the western end by a series of hillside apartments. However, still very quiet and out of the way.

Nice, clean beach. Our favorite. Spent hours snorkeling observing sea life.

Aug 2019

Very clean beach with crystal clear water and a wonderful Damnoni tavern next to it. Vasilis is the right guy to hook you up with a seafront umbrella and chase-beds.

Nice and clean beach!

Aug 2018 • Family

Golden sands, crystal clear water and lots of good tavernas all around. The beach was very clean and quiet, plus you have lots of sun beds to choose from.

Nice beach BUT....

Jul 2018 • Couples

A beatiful small beach, but it was unfortunately ruined by a really unpleasant lady that takes care of the sunbeds at the farest piece of the beach. So angry at approach and yells something in greece even if its really clear we are not locals, then after a long while she switches to english. She was so unpleasant that we wanted to leave, but she forces us to pay anyhow. She really must hate tourists.... Pity that she chose the wrong line of work. After that we understand why her piece of the beach was halfempty even if the rest of the beach was full.... We payed and left with a bad feeling, it wasn't so nice anymore after that. So a little advice: Choose the other end of the beach even if it's more crowded, hopefully they are nicer ;)

Large clean water beach also for kids

Jul 2018 • Friends

This is a beautiful large clean beach. On the one side full of classic good Greek tavernas then on the ither side a canteen. Not bad for a visit maybe even more depending on how much time you have.

crystal water, about 50 km from the hotel. You could visit Plakias, Spili, Monastery of Preveli and Damnoni.

Nice beach and sea

Sep 2017 • Family

We spend 3 hours here when we visited Preveli. It's the place where you can take a boat to go to visit Preveli beach and palms forest.

Damoni is a delight

Aug 2015

Gorgeous little beach with clear green sea. Quaint and not over run in a commericial way. Calm sea and beautiful views of the mountains meeting the sea.
If coming from Rethmyon town you need to take the bus to Plakias and tell the conductor you would like to go to Damnoi as the stop is not announced and the beach is set off from the road.It operates on the same time table as Plakias- Rethmyon.
