About the Beach

Makris Gialos is the most famous and cosmopolitan beach in the Argostoli region, known for its wide stretch of golden sand and vibrant summer energy. The water is a brilliant turquoise and remains shallow for a long distance, offering a high-quality swimming experience for people of all ages. It is fully organized with trendy beach bars, high-end sunbeds, and a wide range of water sports, making it the social heart of the island’s southern coastline. The beach is surrounded by a dense forest of pine trees that reach almost to the sand, providing a beautiful green backdrop and a fresh scent to the air. Despite its popularity, the beach is large enough to maintain its beauty and remains exceptionally clean. It is the perfect destination for those who want to combine a world-class natural environment with the comfort and excitement of a well-serviced resort.
