Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Fakistra beach (Thessaly) 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 Fakistra beach (Thessaly) 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 Fakistra 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.

During the off-season, I decided to visit a beach at 4:00 PM and was pleasantly surprised by its magnificence. I had the entire beach to myself and enjoyed swimming, meditating, and admiring the stunning scenery. The hike down and back was steep, but not impossible to manage as long as you have appropriate footwear. Overall, the experience was something to cherish.

This beach is truly a sight to behold! The scenery is absolutely stunning, from the lush greenery to the crystal-clear waters. However, be warned, the stairs leading down to the beach seem to never end. It's like a never-ending workout just to get to the sand! But hey, at least you'll get your daily exercise in, right?

Nice beach, however, it is advisable to avoid wearing flip flops while visiting 😂.

This beach is indeed a sight to behold, but the journey to reach it is far from easy. The hike to get there is grueling, and the trek back to the parking lot is even worse. The chaos of the parking situation only adds to the frustration. While the enormous waves may provide some entertainment, there is absolutely no service to be found here - no water, no food, nothing. This is a remote and wild place, suitable only for the most intrepid adventurers.

This particular beach falls short of the high expectations that many have for Greece's pristine shores. Additionally, visitors must be prepared to climb a significant number of stairs in order to access the beach.
