Maridaki Beach is a picturesque location situated near the village of Tsoutsouros. The beach is known for its crystal clear waters, which are often described as cool and refreshing. This is due to a mountain stream that flows into the beach, making the water quite cold. The beach is characterized by its pebbles and rocks, both on the beach and in the water, which may not make it the best option for families with small children.
The beach is nestled in a small cove in the mountains, providing a sense of seclusion and privacy. It is often described as a secret location, with few people frequenting the area. This makes it a great place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.
Getting to Maridaki Beach involves a hike from the nearby village of Tsoutsouros. The hike, which takes about 30 minutes, is steep but offers beautiful views of the area. Alternatively, there are small boats available for transport back to Tsoutsouros. The beach is also a great spot for snorkeling, with many small fish to observe in the clear waters.
Visitor reviews highlight the picturesque nature of the beach and its surroundings, with the crystal clear water and the seclusion it offers being particularly appreciated. The beach's location next to the mountain and the refreshing cold water from the mountain stream are also highly praised. However, some visitors complain about the rocky terrain, making it less suitable for families with small children.
