Beach description
The beach looks like a small cozy bay with a pebbly surface surrounded by picturesque mountains. Despite the undeveloped infrastructure and lack of equipment, it's quite popular among tourists and locals alike. The only conveniences available are showers and toilets, everything else needs to be taken care of beforehand. If you want to find a spot during the high season, it's advised to come early.
Lagadakia is the perfect beach for divers and underwater swimmers. The water here is crystal clear and very clean, which makes for great underwater exploration sessions near numerous rocks and boulders. It's also a perfect place for a picnic or a romantic date on the sea shore.
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.
