Two Greek beaches in Patmos island and Chalkidiki among the best in Europe
'Travel & Leisure' magazine proposes the 10 "secret" beaches of Europe, among them featuring two Greek ones, in Chalkidiki and Patmos.In fact, 'Psili Ammos' in Patmos is in fourth place, among coasts from Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, and Cyprus.
T & L describes Psili Ammos beach on the Greek island of Patmos as follows:
"You'll need to follow the hoofprints to Psili Ammos — the donkey that delivers supplies to the beachside cafe each morning will lead you on the half-hour trek across the rumpled dunes. This is the southwestern tip of Patmos, the holy island in the Dodecanese where St. John is said to have holed up in a cave to write the Book of Revelation. These days, it's equally quiet, though unlike the saint, you won't be expected to do any work on this semicircle of cookie-colored sand with steep cliffs rearing up behind. The far end is a nudist beach but worry not — you'll get no strange looks for being clothed on the rest of it. Take a dip in the shallow waters, sunbathe under the tamarisk trees, and don't forget to buy a beer from the cafe — that donkey didn't come here for nothing."
Regarding Aretes beach in Chalkidiki, it is in 9th place and is described like this:
"Halkidiki's three long, sandy "fingers" splayed out into the Aegean Sea are home to some of Greece's best beaches — and that's saying something. Aretes is one of its most laid-back options, though. The wave-like coastline wiggles itself into three distinct bays — the biggest, a wide sandy stretch that's calm but popular; beyond it, a rocky stretch; and lastly, a small sandy cove that not many bother walking to. In fact, on a quiet day, it might be all yours. It's perfectly sized for two, with gray-green rocks shearing up behind the tiny inlet. Head back to the restaurant on the main beach when you get peckish."
The following is the complete list of Travel & Leisure with the best "secret" beaches in Europe:
