Is the best zoo in Greece and for what is offering to its visitors the orice for the ticket is very good. You are able to see all the animals, take beautiful pictures and in some cases you can walk among them. The show with the dolphins is priceless. The staff shows real interest and love to the animals. You could see their reactions with the dolphins. The park is really huge. It has sitting areas scattered around. It took us 4 hours to see everything and read about each animal. It also has playground for the kids and a cafe where you can eat something. I fully recommend it!!!!!!

Aponisos Beach

Reviewed By saronic - Zurich, Switzerland

The best thing to do on Angistri (Hook) Island during the warmer months is to go for a swim to Aponisos in the southwest. We had come from Aegina by Flying Dolphin and then took a small, incredibly crowded bus - like something out of India - to here for 2€ one way per person. Thus the start was quite a nightmare. Once at Aponisos we walked over a small bridge to the small private island of that name, and then up to the ticket office and café. Entrance is 5€ per person and includes a free soft drink or a 'granita'. With it one has free use of sunbeds and umbrellas, only a shower costs a separate 0.50€. There are sunbeds and umbrellas on both sides of Aponisos island. The more open side on the southwest faces uninhabited Doroussa island and way back the peninsula of Methana. On this bay, but outside Aponisos, is a fish tavern. More special is the cove to the northeast, whch thanks to white sand at the bottom, has fantastic turquoise colours. If one associates a beach with sand or pebbles, nothing is to be found here. It is rocks all over the places and with plenty of sea urchins sticking onto them, so the only approach into the water is on ladders or steps. We spent a relaxing time here and our two Californian grandchildren hardly ever came out of the water. Luckily it was not so bad anymore to travel back by bus to the Flying Dolphin pier outside Skala.

Megalo Kavouri

Reviewed By fotiss257 - Paleo Faliro, Greece

I like megalo kavouri (big crab) mostly because is still free with good blue waters. The surrounding environment reminds a lot island with many pine trees and sand hills!

Saint Nicholas Beach

Reviewed By heiwf - Stavanger, Norway

Clean, fresh and beautiful beach of small, fascinating stones. Well kept umbrellas and sun beds for a very reasonable price. Nice little beach bar with cold beverages, Greek salad, toast, sandwiches etc. Wonderful place for a full day with sun&sea! The boat trip to go there is a bonus.

Moni Island Beach

Reviewed By 441anetaf - Peterborough, United Kingdom

And peacocks, and deer and clear water and so much to exploring around island and sooo amazing pine smell !! Moni is must-see island. We went there end of September, there was one boat sailing on request and very little people on the beach. Can't imagine how crowded could be if not Covid and out of season!
