About Marathias Beach

Small cove on the west side of Laganas Bay near Keri/Marathias. Shore is mostly pebbles and small stones; seabed is pebbly with very clear, deep, blue water—good for snorkeling. The beach sits below cliffs and pines, giving partial shelter from winds; sea is generally calm with only modest swell at times. Access is by narrow road to tavern/roadside parking and then a short but steep footpath/descent to the shore (not ideal for limited mobility). Facilities are minimal: a few managed sunbeds/umbrellas in season; no lifeguard and usually no on-beach bars (tavernas are just above/nearby). Notable cautions: steep access path, stony entry (water shoes recommended), water deepens quickly, limited shade and services. The shore is classified as pebbly with typically calm water, and the small managed section fills quickly in July and August. The tavernas above the cove make a convenient lunch stop before the climb back up.
