The main draw. Long sandy beach with calm, safe, crystal-clear water. Easy access, sunbeds to rent, and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the day.
Beach
Several watersport operators set up on the beach in summer. Paddleboard, kayak, pedalo, and more. Good for an energetic half-day.
Water
One of Greece’s finest ancient temples, dating to 500 BC. Just 10 minutes from Agia Marina by taxi. Offers stunning views of the Saronic Gulf and the whole island.
