Beach description
A long, narrow pebble strip that stretches along the green cliffs and bushes is what Dafni beach is all about. Very long and narrow, it is however popular for its scenic views and natural beauty. Blue water with white foaming white-caps, light grey pebbles, blue water - this typical Greek view attracts many tourists.
It is difficult, but possible, to sit comfortably on a sunbed in a small place between the sea and the cliffs (or between the sea and the road). If you don't find a place on the beach, you can move away, on the grass, and settle down under the shade of trees that grow close to the beach. The green bar is another virtue of Dafni: in hot weather, it creates a natural shade, so that tourist without umbrellas will definitely not get sunburns.
Descent into the water is smooth and comfortable, but it is better to enter in special shoes, because the beach is almost completely pebbled. In some uninhabited areas, quite large and sharp boulders can be near the cliffs.
The beach is popular with different group of people. Familis with children, funny youth companies and single travelers, and couples like to come here. The best way to get to the beach is by rented car.
When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
