Straws Beach

Straws Beach is a popular destination located in the bay of Skoutari, surrounded by picturesque hills and mountains. The beach is known for its fine sand and shallow, crystal clear water, making it an ideal spot for families with children. The beach is divided into three distinct bays, each with its own unique characteristics. The first bay offers free beach umbrellas and chairs to patrons of the local restaurant, which also provides free parking to its clients. The middle bay is smaller and quieter, but the beach quality is just as good. The southernmost bay features a restaurant and room rentals, but does not offer umbrellas and chairs. The beach is equipped with sunbeds, which are available for a fee, and there are also tamaris trees under which visitors can sit in the shade. Despite its popularity, the beach is not overcrowded, even on summer weekends. In addition to the beach itself, visitors can also explore a few nearby coves and the marvelous St Varvara church located on the other side of the beach. The beach is also near a taverna known for its tasty and well-cooked food. Overall, Straws Beach is a family-friendly destination that offers a relaxing and enjoyable beach experience.
