Vathis Volos Beach, also referred to as Vathis Volos Beach Antiparos, is a coastal destination situated in the Agios Georgios region of Antiparos, Greece. It is located approximately 12 kilometers southwest of Chora, the main town of Antiparos.
The beach is characterized by its fine pebble terrain, contrasting with the golden sandy beaches typically found in the area. Its clean waters draw in numerous visitors, particularly during the summer months, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Despite its popularity, the beach does not offer an abundance of public amenities. Apart from one tree, there is limited public shade available and the beach lacks facilities such as public umbrellas, chairs, or loungers. Additionally, the beach does not provide water for rinsing off after swimming.
The beach's terrain and lack of clear sand spots for entry also make it less suitable for children. The waters near the shore can be rocky, which might pose difficulties for younger or less experienced swimmers.
In terms of dining options, there are several taverns in the vicinity that cater to beachgoers. Moreover, the area surrounding the beach boasts some small hotels for those wishing to stay overnight. These accommodations offer a tranquil setting away from the hustle and bustle of Chora.
Vathis Volos Beach is accessible by tour boats that travel from the nearby island of Paros to Antiparos, passing by the uninhabited islet of Despotiko which is opposite the beach. It's also possible to reach the beach by car, although parking availability has not been specified.
Despite the lack of amenities and the pebbly terrain, Vathis Volos Beach can get crowded, especially during peak hours. Visitors may occasionally have to wait for others to leave to secure a spot. It's worth noting that some shaded areas have been claimed as part of a private beach club, leading to occasional disputes over space.
