Kalamaki Beach (209 Comments) 4.1  Probably the best place to actually see a turtle. Just wade about in the shallow water and if they are about you will soon spot one. |
Laganas Beach (162 Comments)  It's as busy as you'd expect from a Club 18-30 resort, but keep walking and you'll find a long stretch of beach where development has been prevented by the Marine Park. |
Porto Koukla Beach - Aghios Sostis (1 Comment)  Often discovered by accident, this is a haven of peace and tranquillity despite being within walking distance of Laganas! |
