One of the best beaches of the island! Better in the morning before 11:00 and after 18:00 to avoid the crowd. Buy water from the shops just before the beach. Own umbrellas allowed very close to sea.
The protection of this beach by the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. They keep the beachclean all the year and are in control of the amount of sunbeds, no speed boats and disturbing music.
Gerakas is the famous turtlenesting beach .its a quietsandy beach and has umbrellas.also there are restaurants and snack bars just 100-150 meters from the beach .
So this is a good option if you want to enjoy the sandy beach with no music and party. No food is available beside the people who bring fruits for 3€. You can walk into the water for few 100m.
Don't omit to visit the "lunar" eroded mud cliffs located at the western end of the beach. There is also a dirt road to view the "lunar" landscape from above.
After 5pm there are considerably fewer people on the beach. By 8.30pm however all visitors are asked to leave, as this is a nesting area for the endangered Caretta Carettasea turtles.
Πολύ ωραία παραλία!Δεν βρίσκεις αμέσως να κάτσεις κι αν βρείς δεν προλαβαινεις να στρωσεις πετσετα κι ερχεται ο κυριουλης να παρει τα 8€.Σιγα κυριε,θα πληρωσουμε!πεντακαθαρα νερα!
Nice beach. Unfortunately for non-smoker family it was always a challenge to avoid those smoking without consideration. Divided sections would be perfect.
Δεν υπάρχουν θαλάσσια αθλήματα και μπαρ σε αυτή την παραλία για την προστασία της χελώνας. Αυτό έχει βοηθήσει την παραλία να διατηρεί ακόμα και σήμερα την φυσική της ομορφιά.
The beach is ok, my son (3y)loved it! But, you pay 10 euros for two sunbeds and no receipt!If the money went to the care of the turtles I wouldn't mind at all, but no.So, let the beach 2 the turtles!
Another nesting beach of careta-careta turtle but there is no infrastructure (there are sunbeds but no WC and no bars) and the beach itself is not clean enough
Охранная зона. Поэтому отсутствуют развлечения на берегу и воде. Предупреждают о запрете заходить дальше 3-5 м от кромки воды (кладки черепашьих яиц). Купаться можно. Туалета нет. Рядом turtle center.
