About the Beach

Marathounda Beach is a quiet and charming pebbly beach located on the southeastern coast of Symi, accessible by boat or via a newly built road. It features a shore of large pebbles and clear turquoise water that is deep and fresh. The beach is well-organized with sunbeds and umbrellas, and there is a popular traditional taverna that serves local food, including the famous small Symi shrimp. A unique feature of this beach is the local goats that often wander onto the sand, adding a friendly and rustic touch to the scenery. The water is exceptionally clean and provides a high-quality environment for snorkeling and long swims. It is a destination for those who want a comfortable and relaxed beach day in a setting that feels authentic and quiet. The surrounding landscape is rocky and dry, providing a simple backdrop to the blue sea. The entry into the water is via the pebbles and the depth increases quickly. The atmosphere is welcoming and reflects the slow rhythm of the Dodecanese.
