When in Mykonos, try not to miss hanging out at Paradise Beach. For the young and young at heart, this place is the perfect destination for beach parties.

In the Greek island of Kefalonia, one prime destination is Myrtos Beach. In fact, locals here take pride in the fact that it is considered to be one of the best beaches amongst the many found in the Ionian islands. Aside from its natural beauty, Myrtos Beach is popular because of its accessibility. It is also one of the destinations that provide an affordable beach holiday which is why it is always full during the summer months. Regulars to the island suggest climbing the nearby hills to get nice views of the beach.
Also found in the Ionian Islands is Egremni Beach, which is located in the island of Lefkada. While the sparkling warm waters of the beach makes it a typical Mediterranean beach, its having smooth pebbles instead of sand makes it distinctive. The pebbles gradually become smaller the closer they get to the edge of the water. It has only been recently that visitors to the beach have increased in number when a road was built to make it more accessible. Previously, only locals and a few people who are in the know were able to enjoy the delights of Egremni Beach.
Aside from their natural beauty, people enjoy cheap holidays in the beaches of Greece because there is always one or a couple of tavernas and food places nearby where one can enjoy good food after a few hours enjoying the sun and water. There are over 15,000 kilometers of coastline in Greece which means that there are lots more nice beaches for the intrepid traveler to discover.
