Lush greenery, sand and sea. The harmony of green and blue is only interrupted by the lazy motion of the red and yellow pedalos on the water. So why not just hire a sun bed and watch the canoes and pedalos go by.

You will find Glystra beach just after Lardos village, on your left hand. The waters here are shallow, so it is also suitable for younger children and kids. Sandwiches and water are available at the little restaurant. On the weekends it get's a bit more busy as the locals also like to gather at this beach, along with the beach of Lardos.

The Greek islands bask under endless sunshine from April to the end of October.
