You&#8217;re definitely not alone. The <strong>best beaches in Greece<\/strong> are searched for hundreds of thousands of times every month, and it&#8217;s no wonder. Greece has literally thousands of them and consistently ranks second in the world for Blue Flag awards, currently holding around 620.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding your dream cove, though, isn&#8217;t as simple as jabbing a finger at a map. Some of the most famous beaches are now groaning under the weight of crowds, others have been closed by nature itself, and still others have been quietly hijacked by overpriced beach clubs where two sunbeds cost more than your flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why this honest guide exists. I&#8217;ll walk you through <strong>20 of the most beautiful Greek beaches<\/strong>, sorted by what you actually want from your holiday \u2014 alongside the practical rules for 2026 (sunbeds, the closed Navagio, the new beach law) and a handy summary table at the end.

On quieter islands like Thassos or on the mainland, a set of two sunbeds and an umbrella will cost you <strong>around 5 to 15 euros per day<\/strong>. At the luxury beach clubs of Mykonos, that same setup can set you back an eye-watering <strong>100 euros or more<\/strong>. On many smaller islands like Kos or Naxos, the friendly &#8220;free sunbed with a purchase&#8221; rule still applies \u2014 order a frapp\u00e9 and something to eat at the nearby taverna and <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Spot\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/the-spot-2\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">the spot<\/a> is yours for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The golden rule: always ask the price upfront.<\/strong> Many beach bars don&#8217;t display a price list anywhere, and your eyes will water when the bill arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Towel_Movement_and_the_New_Law\"><\/span>The Towel Movement and the New Law<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather not pay anything and prefer to spread your own towel, the law is now firmly on your side. Under Greek legislation, at least <strong>70% of every beach must remain freely accessible<\/strong> to the public (and in Natura 2000 protected zones, that rises to 85%). For years, bar operators ignored this and staked out the sand all the way down to the waterline \u2014 but in the summer of 2023, a huge wave of public anger erupted, known as the <strong>&#8220;Towel Movement&#8221;<\/strong> (\u039a\u03af\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03a0\u03b5\u03c4\u03c3\u03ad\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2). Locals protested against illegal sunbed sprawl, the government cracked down hard, deploying drones and handing out fines of between 2,000 and 60,000 euros. People can now report violations directly from the beach via the official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.gr\/en\/sdoes\/polites-kai-kathemerinoteta\/psephiakes-epharmoges\/mycoast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MyCoast<\/a> app, which received more than eleven and a half thousand complaints in a single summer. The result? You can now plant your own umbrella almost anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sea_Urchins_Pebbles_and_Safety\"><\/span>Sea Urchins, Pebbles, and Safety<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lifeguards and warning flags are only found on large, organised beaches, where a <strong>red flag means swimming is prohibited<\/strong>. At wild coves, you&#8217;re on your own \u2014 so keep two things in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ionian Islands (Kefalonia, Lefkada, Zakynthos) are famous for their extraordinary blue water, which they owe to white limestone pebbles. They look spectacular, but walking on them is genuinely painful, so <strong>water shoes are an absolute necessity<\/strong> here. The second hazard is sea urchins, which tend to cluster on rocks and stones in clear water. On a purely sandy beach you won&#8217;t encounter them, but the moment you&#8217;re picking your way into the sea over rocks, watch your step carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that Greek waters rank among the cleanest in Europe.

In return, it rewards you with some of the finest sunsets on the entire island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Agios_Gordios_Corfu\"><\/span>Agios Gordios, Corfu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3eb82605aa7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3eb82605aa7\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"843\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/198669-11-plaz-agios-gordios-na-korfu-se-zelenymi-svahy-a-skalnimi-utv.jpg\" alt=\"Agios Gordios beach on Corfu with green hillsides and rock formations in the sea\" class=\"wp-image-198696\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/198669-11-plaz-agios-gordios-na-korfu-se-zelenymi-svahy-a-skalnimi-utv.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/198669-11-plaz-agios-gordios-na-korfu-se-zelenymi-svahy-a-skalnimi-utv-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/198669-11-plaz-agios-gordios-na-korfu-se-zelenymi-svahy-a-skalnimi-utv-700x492.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/198669-11-plaz-agios-gordios-na-korfu-se-zelenymi-svahy-a-skalnimi-utv-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/198669-11-plaz-agios-gordios-na-korfu-se-zelenymi-svahy-a-skalnimi-utv-696x489.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Marc Ryckaert (MJJR), CC BY 3.0, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A beautiful bay on Corfu&#8217;s west coast, surrounded by ancient olive groves and dramatic rock formations.

For tours, boat trips, and activities, it&#8217;s worth comparing and booking through <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">GetYourGuide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where you base yourself depends hugely on which beaches you want to explore. On <strong>Crete<\/strong>, choose your base according to the beaches on your list. For Elafonissi and Balos, Chania in the west is ideal; for Vai and the eastern beaches, Sitia or Agios Nikolaos make more sense. Apartment prices start around 50\u201370 euros per night, and in high season booking a few months ahead is wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>family beaches<\/strong>, Naxos or Kos are reliable choices \u2014 both have plenty of self-catering apartments within walking distance of the sea. If you&#8217;re heading to <strong>Mykonos for the party scene<\/strong>, bear in mind it&#8217;s the most expensive island in Greece and a decent place to stay in season will start at around 150 euros a night. Kos offers a similar vibe at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>quieter beaches<\/strong> like Voidokilia or Simos, staying in the surrounding villages gives you an authentic atmosphere and local prices. Wherever you&#8217;re headed, it&#8217;s worth comparing options on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a> and booking early \u2014 the best value options go first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you end up at a buzzing beach bar in the Cyclades or a hidden cove in the Ionian Islands, don&#8217;t forget what matters most: respect the local rules, look after the nature around you, and soak up every bit of that incredible laid-back feeling the Greek coast does better than anywhere else.

But it really depends on what you&#8217;re looking for. For families, the best will be the shallow sandy beaches on Naxos and Kos, while adventurers will prefer the wild coves of the Ionian Islands.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Navagio_beach_the_shipwreck_open_in_2026\"><\/span>Is Navagio beach (the shipwreck) open in 2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. Navagio on Zakynthos is <strong>still closed to entry for 2026<\/strong> due to dangerous landslides and seismic activity. Access to the beach and to the wreck is forbidden; in March 2026 the authorities extended the ban indefinitely. You can only see it from an excursion boat that sails into the cove, or from the viewing platform on the cliff above the beach.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Greek_beach_is_best_for_families_with_children\"><\/span>Which Greek beach is best for families with children?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For families with small children, Agios Georgios on Naxos is ideal, where the water stays shallow even dozens of meters from shore. Other excellent choices include Tigaki on Kos, Golden Beach on Thassos, and Agios Gordios on Corfu. All feature fine sand, gradual entry into the water, minimal waves, and good facilities with tavernas and restrooms.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_a_sun_lounger_cost_on_a_Greek_beach\"><\/span>How much does a sun lounger cost on a Greek beach?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Prices vary enormously. On quieter islands and the mainland, you&#8217;ll pay around 5 to 15 euros per day for a set of two loungers and an umbrella, while luxury beach clubs on Mykonos can easily charge 100 euros or more. On many smaller islands, there&#8217;s a &#8216;free lounger with purchase&#8217; policy, and by law 70% of every beach must remain free access, so you can always lay down your own towel for free.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_are_the_turtles_on_Zakynthos\"><\/span>When are the turtles on Zakynthos?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Loggerhead sea turtles nest on Zakynthos roughly from <strong>June to August<\/strong>, when the females lay their eggs, and the hatchlings emerge from around August to October. Your best chance of spotting one is on Gerakas, Dafni, and Marathonisi beaches, or while snorkelling in Laganas bay. Always observe them from a distance and never touch them.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_is_the_warmest_and_cleanest_sea_in_Greece\"><\/span>Where is the warmest and cleanest sea in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The warmest water is usually found in the south, on Crete, Rhodes, and in the Dodecanese, where the sea stays pleasantly warm well into October. As for cleanliness, Greek waters are among the cleanest in Europe, with the country boasting over 620 Blue Flag beaches. The Ionian Islands are particularly famous for their exceptionally crystal-clear water, thanks to the white limestone seabed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_sharks_or_jellyfish_in_Greek_waters\"><\/span>Are there sharks or jellyfish in Greek waters?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to worry about sharks\u2014attacks on humans are extremely rare in Greece and you won&#8217;t typically encounter them while swimming. You may occasionally come across jellyfish, but most are harmless. Just watch out for the purple warning flag, which indicates the presence of marine hazards. A more practical concern is sea urchins on rocky beaches, which can be avoided by wearing water shoes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our honest guide to the 20 best beaches in Greece, sorted by holiday type: iconic, family-friendly, party, and wild.
