Beach description
Skala Gialu is surrounded by steep cliffs covered with low vegetation and olive trees. The shore on this beach is not shallow, and after a few meters it become sharply deep. Excellent water clarity allows you to view the sea bottom rich in marine life. You should be careful, as there are big stones in the water, which can hurt you. The high cliffs around the beach add to the attractiveness of the beach and create an extraordinary sea view.
The beach is partly organized by umbrellas and sunbeds. Skala Gialu is mostly overcrowded with tourists, because the beach is located close to the city and it is very easy to reach it. Many tourists and locals love this place not only for its comfortable rest, but also for the ideal exotic views, perfect for photos.
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.
