Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Vathi beach (Peloponnese Region) 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 Vathi beach (Peloponnese Region) 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 Vathi 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.

To find this beach, enter Paliros into your GPS and turn right onto the downhill road at the entrance of the village. Look for the small church and park there. This beach is considered the second most beautiful after Tainaros and is known for its calm waters that are not affected by weather conditions. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the beach from the entrance, which is shown in the attached photo. The water and scenery are both stunning, but there is no shade except for a single pine tree. If you want to set up an umbrella to protect yourself from the wind, you'll need some serious construction skills.

Walking along a rocky path for about 400 meters may seem like a daunting task, but trust me, the reward at the end is worth it. The crystal-clear waters of this beach are unlike any I have ever seen before. As I gazed into the depths, I was lucky enough to spot a lionfish swimming gracefully by. The best part? We had the entire beach to ourselves, making it a truly serene and peaceful experience.

The beach was absolutely stunning, with smooth pebbles and water so clear you could see straight to the bottom. Surprisingly, there were no waves on the day we went, making it perfect for swimming. The only downside was that getting there was a bit challenging - we had to walk about 20 minutes along a path. It's important to bring plenty of water and an umbrella, as there are no amenities besides nature. However, if you're looking for a peaceful and one-of-a-kind experience, this beach is definitely worth the effort. Plus, it's not crowded at all!

This beach is absolutely stunning and has a magical quality to it. It's easily the most beautiful beach in the Mani region. There's nothing that needs to be added or taken away, it's just perfect. Additionally, the beach has light pebbles which add to its charm.

The beach is a stunning, secluded location that requires a trek through the village and a small path to reach. Despite visiting in August, we were the only ones there at noon. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for snorkeling and we were able to spot conch fish and hermit crabs with ease. It's worth noting that the beach is lacking in amenities and there are no nearby facilities.
