Five beautiful beaches on Greek islands managed to stand out at the prizes of readers of the popular travel site Conde Nast Traveler.
Corfu
Cape Drastis, on the northwestern tip of Corfu, is. The peninsula is studded with tiny beaches, accessible only on foot or by water.
Balos Beach,
on Crete's most northwesterly peninsula, is most easily accessed by ferries from Kissamos port. A mix of bright white and pinkish sand and incredibly vivid turquoise water in the lagoon have made this one of the most photographed spots in Crete.
Mykonos
Paradise and Super Paradise beaches have become something akin to parking lots filled with sunbathers, so these days, head to less mobbed spots like Agios Ioannis at the Mykonos Grand Hotel & Resort (pictured, southwest of Chora) or the tiny, semi-pebbled and family-friendly Glyfada beach, a 5-minute drive south
Thassos
For an unusual dip, visit the warm, natural pool of Giola at the southernmost tip of the island. It's a 10-minute hike from the road, but well worth a stop if circumnavigating Thassos while exploring its 33 beaches (including nearby Astris and Psili Ammos).
Skiathos
Famed for its soft, round, white pebbles, Lalaria Beach is only accessible by boat from Skiathos town. There's afternoon shade from the tall cliffs that back this tiny piece of paradise. Strong paddlers thrill to swim through dramatic outcrop arches (one underwater) at the southern end.
Greece edge-to-edge surrounded by beautiful beaches, large and small, secluded, secretly, bustling. The best beach is that we have fun, relax, play and sigh for over the winter.
