Located on the east coast of the small island of Serifos, Ammos beach has twice been voted the most beautiful beach in Europe.

Sailing fans can also enjoy this beautiful beach.
Looking for an unusual, rugged beach? Welcome to Sarakiniko on the island of Milos. Here you will find neither sand nor pebbles, but only a smooth white rock carpet bordering the pristine waters.

Located in the bay of Naoussa and Plastira, the beach of Kolymbithres will astound you with its incredible geological formations that line the beach.

Located only a few metres from the Monastery of Panagia, Agnia Ana is made up of a series of sublime small coves, where the water takes on an almost unreal blue colour, all bordered by arid empty cliffs. Beware of the large rocks in the water, this beach is not necessarily suitable for children.
