- Sharon F1 contributionA little piece of heaven .White pebbles, beautiful cyrstal clear water. Plenty choice of restaurants etc. Not crowded with tourists.Written November 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- I WLeicestershire, UK232 contributionsWe went to this beach for a picnic after visiting the church. It's a small pebbly beach but you can rent loungers and shades. There's also a place where you can get food and drink. The sea looked fantastic but we didn't swim as we were waiting for a taxi, so didn't have a lot of time. It wasn't easy to get here. We had a ferry from Skiathos and then had to get a taxi.Written December 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeremy CHinckley, UK965 contributionsA long sweep of gravelled beach looking due west to Skiathos with easy parking and a pleasant beach café. Allegedly, the longest beach on the island, it does get busy but by no means crowded. Clear water and plenty to see if you enjoy your snorkelling. Not as intimate as other beaches, but that's hardly a criticism. Worth a visit.Written October 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eve MEdinburgh, UK75 contributionsThis turned out to be my favourite beach. It’s a small cove, pebbly, so maybe bring water shoes. The water was lovely. It gets deep quite quickly so no tiresome wading out and out. The sun beds are ostensibly free, but if you order stuff from the wait staff it must be no less than 8 euros. It’s small and can get busy too so aim to arrive by 10 am if you want a bed and shade. There are a few little restaurants which are what you’d expect. Korali is probably the best.The bus goes there from Skopelos but can be very busy.Written September 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- doppelganger_etThessaloniki, Greece697 contributionsIt is the most impressive church of the island, due to its position. Great view, when you make it there!Written August 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jeremy CHinckley, UK965 contributionsA bit off the beaten track but worth the effort to reach a quintessential Skopelos beach. We parked at Limnonari Beach Rooms and for the price of morning coffee and a snack got a couple of sunbeds and a parasol at what I would reckon to be the quiet end of the beach, which was fine for a lazy day sunbathing and snorkelling and let's face it, that's exactly what we go to the beach for. You do lose the sun at around 6pm but we were ready to decamp by then anyway. One of the best beaches that we visited.Written October 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jaeger_37Vienna, Austria118 contributionsIf by car - park your car close to Captain Spiros taverna in Neo Klima head towards the sea and when there just continue left. Be prepared for some rocky terrain / sharp stones, a few meters wading in water before you reach the first of several bays.
We really enjoyed our time at this wild beach. No taverna, sun bed/umbrellas, shower facility at this beaches. In case you need an umbrella / shelter from the sun, you have to bring / make your own one. Only limited shadow provided by the cliff / one or the other tree.
Perfect for relaxing, snorkeling (crystal clear water, fishes) and jumping from rocks into the deeper water.
We had an amazing time there (including an almost kitschy sunset with very smooth sea :-)Written August 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's reasonably easy to drive to, has plenty of parking and is well organised with plenty of beach staff. My tip is to pay double and grab one of the double-divan sun beds at the north end of the beach as you are then a little bit away from the rows of ordinary sunbeds that do get quite busy and as far as you can get from the music, which I will admit I could have done without but wasn't all that intrusive. It is a lovely beach with some pretty good snorkelling, which suited us fine and it all gets better as the sun starts to go down and the crowds thin out a bit. The staff are pretty good and I would note that the bar does good salads and possibly the best chips on the island. A nice beach, a decent if noisy bar/café and convenient for us, we ended up going back several times.Written October 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeremy CHinckley, UK965 contributionsParking, unless you're early, can be a real nightmare, but you shouldn't let that spoil your enjoyment. It is also a rather busy beach but room enough for one and all. There is a beach bar but I don't recall seeing any bathroom facilities. It is, however, a perfectly pleasant beach with some good snorkelling and local to where we were staying. That said, there are better beaches to visit.Written October 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- I WLeicestershire, UK232 contributionsThis is a must for any mama mia fan! We made our own way from Skiathos, ie ferry and a taxi from the harbour (there is no other way to get here from Skopelos harbour). That meant there weren't coach loads of people at the church, which was a good thing as the church isn't big and a lot of the stairway is narrow so you have to wait for people coming in the opposite direction. It may be worth booking a taxi before hand. We had planned to go here on an organised trip, but the weather was too windy so the sea was too rough. Before the climb, there's a place to buy food and drink, and a nice small beach. The climb to the church is steep, so you need to be reasonably active and agile, but the views are worth it.Written December 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeremy CHinckley, UK965 contributionsAs we were staying at the other end of the island it was a bit of a trek to get there and involved a certain amount of guesswork when the map didn't seem to quite match what was on the ground, but it's beautiful countryside and the getting there is all part of the experience.
We arrived early and had the brief joy of having the whole beach to ourselves, but make no mistake, this may be out of the way, but people do seek it out and it does get eventually get pretty busy.
It is a beautiful beach with clear water and good snorkelling and if you don't mind climbing up and down the steps, a great little bar above it.
The one thing that you do need to bear in mind is that it's a cliff-edged, east facing beach, so although it's brilliant sun in the morning, by 3:30 - 4pm you are in shade. Nevertheless, we were really pleased that we made the effort to find it.Written October 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is quite a walk, as you have to park up and then walk, first down some steps and across the first beach, then a little climb up and down the other side of some rocks, across a further beach, through some more rocks, then you arrive at the nudist beach.
There are a couple of snack bars along the way, one on each beach, and the beaches do have umberellas and sunshades to rent.
The nudist beach is by far the best, and the quietest, a bit stony and a few large ants in places, but a lot less people, and the people that are there are all ages/shapes/sizes, and there is no hassle and plenty of room for everybody.
Dont lay to close to the waters edge, as we learnt, as with any passing boats, the waves will quickly come in and whip all your belongings out to sea!!
We hired a quad to access the beach, but there are regular buses from Skopelos harbour roughly every twenty minutes, although the buses do get packed quite quickly, and although there is a bus stop at the top of the road from the beach, I wouldn't fancy waiting for a bus in the heat, especially if it turns up full!Written July 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

About the road: Very difficult to find and quite dangerous
About the bar: Very high price for 2 sunbeds and 1 umbrellas for this island. You have to take something to eat from this bar and they dont let you carry food or drinks with you. Which is extremely difficult for families.
Very friendly and polite staff though and the bar except from the price is very well organized.Written August 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is challenging accessing the beaches there as they are unorthodox. There are no sun beds or services.
The are naturally occurring raw beaches that happen to give you the feeling of a private beach.
The water there is unreal the views are heavenly.
This is one of the best beaches i have been to.
I would recommend taking a 4WD or sturdy car and in general that applies to touring the greek islands.Written September 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
