    The public beach was literally non-existent had building work going on and was very small with no amenities whatsoever, no sun beds or umbrellas. We had to pay to go into the private area which was €7 just to go in but it did have showers, toilets, changing facilities, shops, and a lovely restaurant and bar. We went over to the right and purchased two sunbeds and an umbrella for €20. The beach was lovely and clean. The water was very clear and no water sports to spoil the tranquility.

    Stayed here for one night and had an apartment that looked over bay and what a view. Not the best beach in terms of sand and facilities but an incredible view. Porto rafti is a secret kept by the atheneans

    This was the best beach nearby Athena, we visited during our trip. Along the road are a lot of beaches with shallow water. We choose this one because it was not crowded at all and the water was perfect (clean and shallow). The beach has umbrellas, and a lifeguard but has no bathroom. There is a Shell across the street so you can use that bathroom. We also bought coffee and water from there. Along the road you can find free parking spots.

    This beach is accessible from the street. There is no cost to lay out your beach towel, enjoy the sun and go for a swim. There is a beach club there where you can grab a drink or a meal. You can use their lounge chairs/umbrellas, but I think there is a cost to that. There are changing rooms and restrooms on the beach that i believe don't have any cost. The beach is made up or tiny polished stones and the water suddenly jumps to 2 ft deep right off the beach. Great place to plant yourself for a few hours.

    This is a nice beach. If you sit at the Bar then there are options of 4 seating areas. Chairs by the bar, a lot of music to contend with. Lounge chairs in front of the bar, some music, but nice lounge chairs with umbrellas to rent. Off to the side of the bar on a deck, music is very manageable, but nice lounge chairs and umbrellas to rent. Or by the beach, barely any music but weird grass umbrellas with nice lounge chairs. We opted for the deck next to the bar to keep our stuff out of the sand and to use the nicer umbrellas. The cost is €10 for each chair. If you didn't bring any beach stuff like we did, last minute decision, then vendors walk up and down the beach selling inflatables, towels and googles (a little pricey though). I think inflatables were €15, and towels were €5. The bar sold alcohol and bar food (pizza, club sandwich, etc). The beach itself is in a nice little cove so not huge waves and the beach was a mixture of sand and small pebbles. But is was clean, had a bathroom, wash station, and changing area. Overall a pleasant experience.

    One of the best things I have ever done for myself and my partner. Absolutely lovely people. organising the pic nic was super easy, location was a dream and every single touch was full of love.

    The food and rinks were great too
