The beaches we’ve covered so far have been wild and scenic, but sometimes luxury and comfort are a priority.

And there’s lots of both at Makris Gialos Beach, a ribbon of golden sand served by beach bars.

It’s the kind of place where you won’t have to lift a finger to get drinks and food at your sun lounger, but there’s also space to the west for people who prefer to lie on their towels.

And despite being a touristy beach, there are only a few isolated buildings on the shore between the rocks and pine trees.

Makris Gialos has a designated area for beach games, as well as a watersports center to get the adrenaline pumping.
