It\u2019s difficult to choose the best beaches in Greece. What\u2019s the best beach for kids? What\u2019s the best beach for swimming? What\u2019s the best beach for partying? What\u2019s the best beach for snorkeling?<\/p>\n

Everyone is looking for a great beach, but they all have different criteria. Add to that the fact that many islands have upwards of 20 different beaches.<\/p>\n

Here are\u00a0some of the best<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elafonisi, Crete<\/h3>\n

\"Elafonisi
\nThe best beach in Greece: Elafonisi beach on the south coast of Crete. There isn\u2019t much else nearby besides a few small hotels so most people do a day trip from Chania. Recommended Hotels: Elafonisi Resort by Kalomirakis Family<\/a> \u2022 The wonderful town of Paleochora is a one hour boat ride away. Recommended Paleochora Hotels: Caravella Luxury Apartments<\/a> (moderate) \u2022 Aris Hotel<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Mylopotas Beach, Ios<\/h3>\n

\"Milopotamos
\nWonderful sand and a quick drop-off for people who like to swim. Stay at either Mylopotas Beach or in the fun main town (Chora) up on the hill. Recommended Hotels: Ios Palace Hotel & Spa<\/a> (moderate) \u2022Nissos Ios<\/a> (budget) \u2022 Rita\u2019s Place Hotel<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Beach, Santorini<\/h3>\n

\"Red
\nSantorini has some of the most unique beaches in Greece. They aren\u2019t of the soft white sand variety. Most are composed of volcanic sand and are red, black, or grey. Nearby Akrotiri has hotels for all budgets but it\u2019s better to stay in Fira<\/a> and make a day trip by bus. Recommended Hotels in Akrotiri:Astarte Suites<\/a> (luxury) \u2022 Apanemo<\/a> (moderate)<\/span><\/p>\n

Perissa Beach, Santorini<\/h3>\n

\"Perissa
\nThe nicest beach and sand on Santorini. Nearby Kamari beach is almost as good but has more restaurants and nightlife. A boat connects the two beaches (the trip takes 10 minutes and is quite fun). Recommend Hotels in Perissa: Anastasia Princess<\/a> (moderate) \u2022 Recommended Hotels in Kamari:Santorini Kastelli Resort<\/a> (luxury) \u2022 Tamarix Del Mar Suites<\/a> (luxury) \u2022 Aegean Plaza Hotel<\/a> (moderate)<\/span><\/p>\n

Plaka Beach, Naxos<\/h3>\n

\"Plaka
\nNaxos has many great beaches and if you\u2019re looking for an island with a large variety of beaches it should be at the top of your list. Naxos Town is wonderfully charming and St George beach (a short walk away) is a great town beach. But down the southwest coast there are many others that are even better: Agia Anna, Agios Prokopios, Mikri Vigla, Pyrgaki \u2013 and perhaps the best of the lot, Plaka beach. I recommend staying in Naxos Town and taking the frequent buses to the beaches down the coast. Recommended Hotels: Nissaki Beach Hotel<\/a> (luxury) \u2022 Naxos Resort Beach Hotel<\/a> (moderate) \u2022 Xenia Hotel<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Logaras Beach, Paros<\/h3>\n

\"Logaras<\/a>
\nParos has many great beaches \u2013 some of them like Pounda and Piso Livadi are a bit too popular. Logaras is located away from the main towns and thus never overly crowded. I suggest staying in Parikia and making a day trip to Logaras by bus. Recommended Hotels in Parikia: Argonauta Hotel<\/a>(moderate) \u2022 Captain Manolis<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Paradise Beach, Mykonos<\/h3>\n

\"ParadiseBeautiful through the day, then turns into a party beach in the late afternoon and evening. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants here or you can commute from Mykonos Town. Recommended Hotels:Paradise View Hotel<\/a> (moderate) \u2022 Mykonos View Hotel<\/a> (moderate, in Mykonos Town)<\/span><\/p>\n

Ornos Beach, Mykonos<\/h3>\n

\"Ornos
\nThe most family friendly beach on Mykonos. Great sand and calm relaxing water with a shallow slope. It\u2019s 10 minutes by bus from Mykonos Town. Recommended Hotels: Kivotos Luxury Boutique Hotel<\/a>(luxury \u2013 great for honeymoons) \u2022 Santa Marina Resort & Villas<\/a> (luxury \u2013 great for families) \u2022 Mykonos View Hotel<\/a> (moderate, in Mykonos Town)<\/span><\/p>\n

Mytros Beach, Kefalonia<\/h3>\n

\"MyrtosMyrtos beach on Kefalonia. Recommended Hotels: Odyssey Villas<\/a> (moderate \u2013 great place but you do need a rental car)<\/span><\/p>\n

Paleokastritsa, Corfu<\/h3>\n

\"Paleokastritsa
\nPaleokastritsa is a series of bays on beautiful Corfu. Recommended Hotels: Zefiros Traditional Hotel<\/a>(moderate)<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarakiniko, Mylos<\/h3>\n

\"Sarakiniko
\nIs this a beach? Who knows, who cares. Mylos has a many great little coves for swimming and sunning. Sarakiniko is one of the best spots to swim and relax. Recommended Hotels: Giannis Hotel Apartments<\/a> (budget) \u2022\u00a0Semiramis Hotel<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Stafylo Beach, Skopelos<\/h3>\n

\"StafyloStafylo is one of the many great beaches on Skopelos. Recommended Hotels: Skopelos Village<\/a>(moderate) \u2022 Denise Hotel<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Kamares Beach, Sifnos<\/h3>\n

\"Kamares
\nSifnos \u2013 a quiet island in the western Cyclades \u2013 is loaded with great beaches and Kamares is on of the best. The water is shallow and perfect for kids and there are many tavernas and hotels nearby. Recommended Hotels: Delfini<\/a> (moderate) \u2022 Morpheas Pension Rooms & Apartments<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Koukounaries Beach, Skiathos<\/h3>\n

\"Koukounaries
\nKoukounaries Beach on Skiathos. Absolutely beautiful. Recommended Hotels: Skiathos Palace Hotel<\/a>(moderate) \u2022 Golden Beach<\/a> (budget) \u2022 Meltemi Hotel<\/a> (budget \u2013 in Skiathos Town)<\/span><\/p>\n

St Paul\u2019s Bay, Rhodes<\/h3>\n

\"St
\nA great little swimming spot near the castle at Lindos. The east coast of Rhodes is loaded with great beaches (including Faliraki and Lindos), but anything west of Rhodes Town will be very windy. I love staying in beautiful Rhodes Town and busing to the beaches through the day. Recommended Hotels:Atrium Palace Thalasso Spa Resort And Villas<\/a> (luxury \u2013 near Lindos) \u2022 Spirit Of The Knights Boutique Hotel<\/a> (luxury \u2013 Rhodes Old Town) \u2022<\/span><\/p>\n

Matala Beach, Crete<\/h3>\n

\"Matala
\nA great little town. The cliff at the end of the beach is filled with caves that you can explore. Recommended Hotels: Matala View<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Shipwreck Beach, Zakynthos<\/h3>\n

\"Shipwreck
\nAccessible by boat on a day trip. Take one of the smaller operators out to the beach and you\u2019ll be able to explore some caves. The beach is always busy but the magical setting makes it all worthwhile. Recommended Hotels in Laganas: Castelli Hotel<\/a> (moderate)<\/span><\/p>\n

Vai Beach, Crete<\/h3>\n

\"Vai<\/a>
\nThe best beach in eastern Crete and backed by a unique palm forest (the only one in Europe). Vai is a good day trip from Sitia. Recommended Hotels: Petras Beach<\/a> (budget)<\/span><\/p>\n

Vouliagmeni Beach, Athens<\/h3>\n

\"Vouliagmeni
\nThe best beach near Athens and about an hour\u2019s trip by bus from the city center.
