There are numerous outstanding beaches in the Makry-Gialos region. Whilst the most popular during the summer is the Blue Flag Makry-Gialos main beach, which offers all facilities, including water sports. The sandiest beach in the area, the coastline is gently shelving, and the shallow waters are perfect for families with young children. You can also reach several other beaches within a short walking distance.

 

 

To the east of Makry-Gialos there are two public beaches below the Sunwing (the second Blue Flag beach in the area) and Mikri Poli hotels, reached by walking down the right hand side of the hotel past the bungalows belonging to Sunwing. Refreshments, sun beds, and umbrellas are available on both beaches, either from a small cantina or by lunching at the hotel. These beaches offer perfect swimming conditions, and water sports facilities.

 

 

Further east takes you to Lagada and Diaskari beach, just opposite the Bay View development, the latter with sun beds and hammocks shaded by pergolas available, courtesy of the small and excellent traditional taverna located at the western end. Further still, by taking the road to Kalo Nero, you will reach Amathi beach and several other small coves and undiscovered beaches which are often deserted, although there are no facilities on these beaches.

 

 

To the west of Makry-Gialos the first beach is Kalamokania, where deeper waters offer better snorkelling opportunities, which has a couple of restaurants which also provide sun beds and umbrellas. Further on there are beaches along the coast by Koutsouras and Mavros Kolimbos, and a very attractive horseshoe shaped bay at Galini where sun beds, umbrellas, and refreshment facilities are available. Whether you are a water sports enthusiast, or just looking for a private beach for peace and solitude, there is a beach here to suit you.
