Got to the beach early and enjoyed all that was on offer from the sun beds to the Taverna. Cove is secluded and swimming was amazing, or snorkelling was even better. We caught the No20 bus from Planates and asked the driver to stop at Spilies Beavh and had a 10 minutes - ideal as there is limited parking 👍❤️

This charming shoreline boasts a pebbly terrain instead of the typical powdery sand. Although the taverna/bar appeared closed during our visit, this did not detract from our experience. In fact, we relished in the solitude of the beach, as there were only a handful of other visitors present.

This charming beach is petite yet delightful, equipped with cozy sunbeds and colorful umbrellas. A charming gazebo offers a lovely respite from the sun, while the local beach taverna offers refreshing drinks and delicious cuisine. The waters are a mesmerizing shade of blue, with a small cave and rocky outcropping perfect for snorkeling and exploring. Dive in and discover the wonders of this hidden gem!

This secluded treasure boasts a pebble beach adorned with cozy umbrellas and comfortable beds. In addition to the beach bar and restaurant, there are plenty of opportunities for adventure, including jumping off rocks, exploring caves, and admiring fossils on the cliffs. The cost of parasols and loungers varies, with metal/plastic loungers priced at €6, wooden loungers at €9, and the highly recommended little sun huts at €25. If you opt for a lounger, you'll have access to on-site showers and pristine toilets.

This stony beach is truly amazing! The stones are so incredibly smooth that you can comfortably walk down into the water without any fear of injury. However, it may not be the best choice for families with young children due to the quick drop-off into deeper waters. On windy days, the waves can be quite powerful but that didn't stop us from having a blast. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate any shower or changing facilities which was a bit of a drawback. Nevertheless, the natural beauty of this beach more than made up for any minor inconveniences.
