Agios Nikolaos - all beaches

It's lethal if not impossible to reach the beach, steep rocky cliff with loose stones to slip on. Do not attempt this, you are risking your life Please keep safe

The beach offers of crystal clear turquoise waters and a breathtaking views from the tavern perched on its edge. However, the beach is petite and it's a rare occurrence to find vacant sunbeds. It's ideal for a quick dip and sunbathing for a few hours. Visitors can also catch a glimpse of a quirky duo of geese who waddle out of the water, squawk at the beachgoers, and then depart into the sea with pride. The air is infused with a distinct aroma of sulfur, adding to the unique ambiance of the place.

We decided to take the Voutirakos Cruises boat trip from the Port of Zakynthos to reach the well-known Navagio beach. However, the distance was quite long, and we would suggest taking the boat from Porto Vromi instead. The boat trip lasted four hours and cost 30 euros. During the trip, we stopped at Navagio beach for an hour and at Blue Caves for 40 minutes, where the boat anchored offshore and allowed people to dive. Although Navagio beach was breathtakingly beautiful, it was overcrowded with boats arriving every five minutes, bringing hundreds of tourists. The place was packed with people, making it difficult to move around. Due to the overcrowding, the boat staff was constantly yelling at people and being rude to them, especially the staff of Seven Island Cruises, to make room for the next wave of tourists. It was a terrible experience.

The beach was serene and breathtaking, with water so clear you could see straight to the bottom. We spent some time snorkeling after anchoring our boat until noon when the sun finally appeared.

Upon initial arrival at Alykanas, the beach may not strike one as particularly impressive due to its proximity to the road. However, upon further exploration, one will quickly come to appreciate the stunning quality of the water, which is particularly well-suited for children. Additionally, there are numerous opportunities for water sports, and visitors can easily rent sunbeds and enjoy a meal directly on the beach.

This breathtaking beach is a sight to behold. However, reaching it may prove to be quite a challenge, and finding a comfortable spot to unwind can be equally difficult. The true magic of this location lies in the crystal-clear waters and the stunning panoramas it offers.
