Best Beaches

The South Aegean islands host diverse coastal geologies, from the volcanic black and red sands of Santorini to the stark white lunar landscapes of Milos. Rhodes features sheltered turquoise bays like St. Paul's and the long sandy stretch of Tsambika. Mykonos offers lively, well-serviced beaches such as Paradise and Psarou. Other notable sites include the granite-sculpted coves of Paros and the pine-fringed pebble shores of Karpathos, providing a comprehensive range of Aegean swimming environments.
