Beach description
There is a reason why it is classified as a family beach: warm pleasant water, shallow beach and fine orange sand make this place comfortable and safe for swimming even with babies in arms. The even bottom guarantees taht you won't stumble and fall into water.
Provatas is situated in the southern part of the island - an even asphalted road leads to it, so there will be no problems with transportation. Moreover, there is a large parking lot by the beach, so you can drive to the sea on your private car. Scheduled buses make trips between this place and Adamas, so if you want to relax up to eleven, visit local taverns and enjoy original Greek wine, you'd better use their transport services.
It is a calm beach without any strong winds, or high waves. Algae can be seen on the beach sometimes but they appear only at the specific wind. Anyway, it is not a problem for tourists: water near the beach is clear and transparent.
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.
