Mavrovouni Beach is a beautiful sandy beach located near the town of Gytheion in the Peloponnese region. It is known for its crystal clear water and long stretches of sand. The beach is unique in that it is composed of tiny pebbles, which can make it less suitable for families with young children as the water gets deep quickly. The beach is also known for its large waves, which can be a concern for those not comfortable with such conditions. However, these conditions make it a perfect spot for wind riders, attracting many wind surfers and kite surfers who take advantage of the strong winds that pick up in the afternoon.
One of the natural characteristics of Mavrovouni Beach is its role as a nesting site for turtles. This adds an extra layer of interest for visitors, although it's not guaranteed that you'll see them during your visit.
In terms of amenities, Mavrovouni Beach offers free umbrellas and sunbeds for those who consume drinks. There are also lounge chairs with service available. However, it's important to note that there are no bathrooms on site.
Parking is available right behind the beach, although the area is a dirt road and can be dusty. Despite this, visitors are allowed to park anywhere.
