Vromolimnos beach

Vromolimnos has golden soft sand and calm clear water, and is consistently rated among the island's best for swimming. Get off at bus stop 13 or 14 and walk down the small road between them. The sand shelves quickly. It is also the most commercialised beach here: expect three rows of loungers and prices to match.

1 · €€€ · Taverna · Greek-international

Taverna Stathis-Lia 8.8/10

Tables set among ancient olive trees, flowers, candles and strung lights. One of the most beautiful settings on the island, with homemade food to match — at a price.

Watch out: Expensive for a taverna — budget ~€85 for two
2 · €€€ · Beach bar · Beach

Porto Paradiso 6.8/10

The beach-club end of Vromolimnos — wooden decks, sunbeds, cocktails and a dining area. Great for the day; the food ratings are the weakest part.

Watch out: Weak Tripadvisor score (3.4)
3 · €€ · Beach · Taverna

Vromolimnos Beach Taverna & Beach Bar 6.4/10

One of the island's best beaches with a taverna and beach bar attached. The swimming is superb; the eating has drifted towards fast food and slow service.

Watch out: Slow service
