About Our Beach Rating

Our beach reports are based on personal on-site visits.

Beach Rating Scale:

5 = Superb! Best we visited. We would travel around the world to swim there again.
4 = Excellent. We would travel across Greece to swim there.
3 = Good. We would choose it among other beaches if we were in the area.
2 = Average. We would return to this beach if we were in the area, but not as our first choice.
1 = Disappointing. The beach was fine for one visit. We would return if desperate.

Sea Water Rating Scale:

5 = The sea water felt wonderful and clean. We would go way out of our way to swim there again.
4 = The sea water felt good and we would go out of our way to swim there again.
3 = The water felt nice and clean. We would swim there again if we were in the area.
2 = Nice sea. We had a good swim but did not notice anything special or unusual about the water.
1 = The sea water was not very inviting when we visited.

The beach reports and ratings are based on our simple (and unscientific) observations during our visit.
We enjoy the sea water when it’s crystal-clear and cooler rather than warm. We don’t enjoy swimming among flotsam any kind.
We also like the sand to be clean of debris, and a bit more more coarse than the fine, “sticky” kind. We also prefer the more undeveloped beaches (ie. the ones without bars, music, loud crowds, or salespeople).
Certain beaches we have visited once, while many we have seen several times. It is possible that conditions have changed since our visit, so use these reports as another point of reference in your research.
