This beach is well-maintained and only a 15-minute drive from the city center. Be sure to wear shoes as there are stones both in and out of the water. The water is deep and refreshingly cold.

If you're looking for a free beach that's not too isolated, but still close to people and shops, Aktaeo beach in Rio is perfect. There are cafes nearby with sunbeds in case you change your mind, get hungry, or your partner needs a break. There's a shower and changing cabin available before you head back to your car. The beach offers a great view of the Kapodistria Bridge and Drepanos. It has a mix of pebbles and sand, and the water gently deepens, making it suitable for children. For beautiful photos, visit in the morning or on a cloudy day.

The beach is clean and has a mix of stones and pebbles along the shore. As you enter the water, there are some rocks for a few steps before transitioning to a beautiful sandy beach perfect for swimming.
