Beach description
Skoutari beach is very well-groomed: there is no garbage, no sharp objects in the water and even sea urchins, for which the beach has been awarded the Blue Flag award. High cliffs surround Skoutari on both sides, and the clear deep-blue sea and snow-white sand create a very attractive picture, and the vintage furniture of the Greek tavern and authentic design only complete it. Underwater sections of the beach are distinguished by interesting relief and a large number of fish. They are decorated with mottled algae, huge cobbles, squids and octopus.
Thee is an atmosphere of calm: discos, noisy bars, nightclubs - it is all better to look elsewhere. The fact that traders and annoying salesmen walking along the seashore is good news.
Skoutari is popular among active and passive tourists. The first travel around its area. They visit ancient churches, house museums of famous writers, medieval castles and ancient architectural ensembles. The second ones take sunbathing, enjoy the warm water of the sea and taste Greek cuisine and Peloponnesian specialty cocktails.
You can reach the beach by private or public transport from Gifio.
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.
