Greece is still one of the most popular holiday destinations for Germans - for good reason: In the photo series you will find the ten most beautiful beaches.
1 / 10Iridescent blue-green water awaits you at this gorgeous beach in western Crete, near the town of Kissamos.
Balos Bay is characterized by its white shell and coral sand, which is extremely fine and shimmers beautifully in the sun.
The offshore island of Gramvousa, home to a Venetian castle, transforms the whole into a lively landscape.

In the meantime, the dreamy place has become a tranquil holiday home.
From the beach you have an incomparable view of the mysterious monastic republic of Athos - in addition, the sandy relaxation area offers dreamlike sunrises that you should not miss.

5 / 10This beach has real "Pirates of the Caribbean" flair: Navagio Beach on the Ionian island of Zakynthos is also known as Smugglers' Bay.
The rock walls, which are up to two hundred meters high and frame the small beach, are particularly striking.
The idyllic spot can only be reached by boat.

6 / 10Sarakiniko Beach in the north of the Aegean island of Milos is not only a popular beach destination, but also a photo motif.
The reason for this are the white rocks, which have been washed smooth by the sea for many centuries and are reminiscent of a mystical lunar landscape.
The blue of the sky in particular emphasizes the unearthly contrast.

7 / 10If you are staying in the town of Pylos, a visit to the nearby bay of Voidokilia is an absolute must.
With its almost perfect semicircular shape, it has earned itself the name "Ochsenbauchbucht" and is therefore a true natural spectacle - the water also impresses with pleasant temperatures due to the sheltered location and a narrow opening.

8 / 10The special thing about Egremni Beach on the island of Lefkada in the Ionian Sea: To reach it you have to climb a whopping 347 steps from the parking lot - but the effort is worth it: the steep, white cliffs and the blue sea form a wonderful contrast.
The sunset in particular shows the landscape at its most beautiful, when the warm rays paint the cliffs in an orange light.

9 / 10Lalaria Beach on the island of Skiathos is made of legends: the special rock formation forms a natural bridge between land and sea, in the middle of which there is a large hole called Tripia Petra.
Supposedly someone who swims the hole twice gets their youth back.

10 / 10Back on the west coast of Sithonia is Spathies Beach.
It can be roughly divided into a lagoon with several small beaches and a large beach to the south.
