And it is of course in our place.
So at a time when every summer the permanent dilemma is Aegean or Ionian, the beaches both of them hide incredible beauties for all tastes.
Clear and dreamy, as if they came from tropical paradises or fairy tales, they are just some of the jewels of the Greek land.
You will find just as many and just as amazing on the mainland Greece, if the ship is not its cargo.
But they all wake up, these and many more, making the crossword puzzle of summer vacations ideal for very strong solvers…
Here nature took the chalk and began sculpting. White volcanic rocks spread along the shore, composing a landscape of what we usually see on the Moon. The colors of the waters are equally intoxicating, starting from the blue-green and reaching to the deep blue.
Sarakiniko is a right phenomenon. One of the most impressive beaches not only in the Aegean, but in the whole Mediterranean. The limestone worked wonders here, combining them with a multitude of caves, where eroded rocks meet water. The landscape imposes admiration, does not demand it.
The "baldness" of the landscape, the absence of any vegetation, emphasizes this dazzling white of the rocks, giving birth to that kind of experience that is truly unique. You come here even at night, when the moon illuminates the rocks differently, giving birth to incomparable reflections.
Here, too, words are poor to describe the greatness of nature. The trademark of the island, next to the also beautiful Pine cones, has white pebbles, steep cliffs and waters that flirt with tones of green.
Everyone talks about Lalaria. The impression is effortless here. This majestic rock that ends vertically and rushing to the beach prepares you for magical situations. In all, the wonderful scenery has the all-white round pebbles of the beach, but also of the seabed, the "lalaria" of the locals, who give a lot to the scenery.
The magic is completed with the turquoise waters, clear and crystal clear like a swimming pool. Nature tried to keep it a secret from man, closing all access here. But we approach it from the sea, it remains beautiful so as not to make her happy τη
The world famous beach in the bay of Naoussa She has a lot of arrows in her quiver to fall in love with her. Gray rocks carved for millennia by salt, water and air, unimaginable turquoise waters and sandy coves make up a completely special landscape that has it all.
The wild natural scenery composes one of the most peculiar sea landscapes in Greece. You will have heard about Kolimbithres before and when you see them you will be sure that you are not wrong. It is the strangest thing the cosmopolitan island has to show in terms of beach.
Strange rocks in strange formations, these are the Swimming Pools with smooth surfaces and shapes that seem to have sprung from the hand of a carpenter. The granite masses reach the shore and form a series of successive beaches that are a sight to behold.
For two or more bathers at a time, the natural cavities that the locals named "Kolimbithres" give birth to many private beaches. Each Kolimbithra, however, offers isolation from its neighbor and invites you to explore the neighboring ones. Neither is the same άλλη
It is a fact that the exotic paradises of our country have no end, so it is appropriate for some to borrow even tropical names. So instead of going crazy in the Seychelles of the Indian Ocean, we fly to Ikaria for their Greek analogue.
One of the most impressive beaches in the eastern Aegean, the Seychelles was magically revealed. They appeared to the locals after a landslide that followed a tunnel opening and enchanted them so much by effectively imposing the foreign place name. Such colors, after all, only on Seychelles you'll see.
Here we have emerald waters and off-white pebbles, which mix with the sand giving birth to an earthly paradise from those you meet in places far away. In all, the impressive granite rocks that surround the Ikarian Seychelles and their hidden underwater caves. Wild and indomitable landscape. Colors beyond any imagination.
The "Queen" of the island (why not the Aegean?), As the locals call it, is a beach with sea front and back. It is this narrow sandy strip of land that connects it Kythnos with the islet of Agios Loukas which is responsible for the masterpiece paradox, leaving two beautiful sandy beaches on either side of the mainland.
Deep blue color, golden sand and crystal clear waters are the ingredients of seduction here. And the strange fact that both sides of the beach are windless, as if nature wanted to protect them from the winds.
Kolona is one of the pearls of the Aegean, one of those beaches that make your arrival demanding, but they also compensate you with the above for your effort. The landscape you see here is so special, so beautiful, that you do not want to leave. And you should not, you will lose if you do not see the sunset from the "Queen"…
When the smuggler "Panagiotis" ran aground on the shallows of a beach Zakynthos, one could not expect that this would create a tourism phenomenon of global proportions. And yet, the Shipwreck is now the timeless symbol of the Greek beach abroad!
Of course, it is not only the rotten hull that is to blame, but also the imposing natural landscape. This spectacular setting with its steep and imposing white cliffs, turquoise waters and white sand. Making awe a personal affair obviously.
Apart from being an interesting attraction, due to the shipwreck, the secluded beach of the island, the old Agios Georgios, remains one of the most important magnets of world tourism for our country.
The Shipwreck You will see it consistently on the most beautiful beaches in the world, as at least the biggest international tourist guides insist, as you will not find what it offers anywhere else. The beach is inaccessible and intoxicating, even the rusty trunk gives in to the turquoise and white.
Another "cannon" in the heavy artillery of the beaches of our country, the most popular Myrtle It is undoubtedly among the most beautiful beaches not only in the Ionian, not just in Greece, but in the entire Mediterranean.
White sand and fine pebbles, deep blue waters, steep cliffs and an open bay welcome you here. These are the imposing Myrtos, a dreamy setting that magnetizes you before you even arrive. You can see it from above, from the serpentine road, this endless and white sandy beach with the tropical shades of the waters.
Another thousand-photographed beach of our country, forces you to sit until dusk, offering a sunset taken from a fairy tale…
Egremnoi ή Porto katsiki, this is the great and alcoholic dilemma that Lefkada poses to the visitor. The thousand-sung Porto Katsiki, of course, does not seem to be true when you first see it, with its imposing rock and this incredible color of the waters.
The rock causes awe, making you sometimes feel that it protects you and sometimes that it threatens you. The beach has fine white pebbles, extremely pleasant to the touch. But water is the issue, water that the companies will never agree on what color it is!
Porto Katsiki is breathtaking with good morning. If you endure the magic until the afternoon, an unthinkable will be revealed to you sunset, with dusk painting the sky and the sea.
Again a beach that has far exceeded the borders of our country. You will always see it on the best beaches in Europe.
If the famous is not a jewel of the Ionian Corfu Love Channel, what is it then? Sidari leaves the traveler speechless with its strange geomorphology, where the sea defiantly defies the rocks, creating coves with peculiar shapes.
The great protagonist of all of them is the Canal d'Amour, this natural passage that the legend wants whoever crosses it while swimming to meet on the other side the love of his life. In fact, if he swims with his other half, he will stay by his side for life.
There are three sandy beaches, on which nature stood extremely generous. The landscape here is reminiscent of a Norwegian fjord, as steep cliffs and lacy openings set aside to give the first word to the Canal of Love.
But this peculiar "canal" has something else, just as magical. The turquoise waters that acquire in some places yellowish shades. These porous sandstone rocks have many aces up their sleeves to keep you trapped in their seduction…
Another Ionian coastal masterpiece, here we have an exotic corner that left its normal position, somewhere in the Peaceful, and reached our place. It is not that the green reaches the edge of the sea. It is not even all white sand. You can find these elsewhere.
It is the color of crystal clear waters that you can hardly describe. Blue-green, indigo, turquoise, emerald, alcoholic? Whatever it is, it is dazzling! That is why in Voutumi so many boats anchor every day, enchanted by the unique shades of the sea.
A real earthly paradise is literally next to them Paxos. He is waiting for you to fix you, transporting you to a swimming pool, an all-white tropical setting with conifers all around. Hidden diamond of Europe you will hear it foretold and they are not wrong at all…
