Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Lantern beach (Central Greece) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Lantern beach (Central Greece) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Lantern beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach offers of the most stunning sea in the vicinity, with its soft sand and pristine, crystal-clear waters. The area is dotted with a handful of trees that provide natural shade, and if you're lucky, a cool breeze to beat the heat. On the right side of the beach, you can explore the intriguing rocks and caves. The beach is easily accessible from the parking area, and once you're in the water, it's a seamless transition. You'll find a few families of local residents taking a dip every day, but people of all ages and backgrounds flock to this idyllic spot. When you need a break, a delivery man from Glyfa can bring you coffee or other refreshments.

The waters may seem clear, but don't be fooled by the illusion of beauty. This beach requires you to bring all the necessary equipment to enjoy it, from sunbeds to umbrellas to anything else you might need. The sparse foliage of only three trees and two benches are hardly enough for the number of visitors it attracts. Even on an average day, it's still not enough. And don't even think about visiting in August, as it was already overcrowded on the 14th. While it may appear peaceful, this beach is far from uncrowded.
