Gavdos beaches

The beaches of Gavdos stand out for their clear waters, extensive sandy shores, dunes and junipers growing close to the sea. Sarakiniko and Agiannis are the best-known and most easily accessible beaches, while Korfos, Tripiti, Lavrakas, Pirgos and Potamos are also particularly beautiful. Many of the smaller shores remain secluded and can only be reached on foot or by boat. Their limited development and protected natural surroundings preserve the distinctive character of the coastline of Gavdos.
