Simos Beach

From the port, it takes about 10–15 minutes to reach the beach by car or taxi; allow at least 3 hours for swimming, a walk on the sand, and admiring the dunes and stretches of coastline. Bring water and sunscreen, as natural shade can be limited: beach access is generally free, while any facilities and rentals may have indicative costs of around 10–25 € for a spot, depending on the season and equipment. For any access restrictions or services, check the latest official information.

Set out early to enjoy the beach with more peace and quiet; do not step on the dunes.

12:30

Sarakiniko Beach

Continue by car or taxi to Sarakiniko, allowing about 10–20 minutes for the transfer depending on traffic; set aside about 2 hours for this stop. Look for a spot sheltered from the sun, take a swim, and admire the contrast between the turquoise sea and the pale shoreline; bring a snack or consider a simple lunch in the village area, with an estimated cost of 10–20 € per person. Check the conditions of the path and the availability of any beach services on site.

The middle of the day is the hottest: plan a break in the shade and bring water.

15:30

Church of Agios Spyridon

Head back toward the town center in about 10–15 minutes by car or taxi and reach the church with a short walk. Set aside 30–45 minutes to visit and admire the small church, located by the port and tied to the town’s maritime character; any donation is optional and should not be considered a ticket. For access and up-to-date directions, check official information or ask locally.

Wear respectful clothing if you find the church open.

16:30

Port of Elafonissos

From the church, reach the port on foot in a few minutes and set aside about 1–2 hours for a stroll along the waterfront, among boats, docks, and sea views. You can stop for a coffee or ice cream, roughly 3–8 €, or have dinner before departure, with an estimated cost of 15–30 € per person. If you need to catch the ferry, check timetables, fares, and boarding procedures in advance on official channels: they may vary by season.

Leave enough time for boarding and any ferry queues.
