Astypalea Pera Gialos beach

General information

Pera Gialos is a lovely pebbly beach stretching right in front of the Pera Gialos village, at the foot of the hill on which stand the Venetian castle and the houses of Astypalea Town. Though it is possible to find more beautiful beaches around the coasts of Astypalea, Pera Gialos is a great choice for a quick, relaxing dip into the sea, as it is easily accessible from the main settlement. The plethora of facilities it offers, such as taverns, cafes and accommodations, along with the fact that it usually remains unaffected by the wind makes it particularly family-friendly too.

From the marina of Pera Gialos, the island’s former port, excursion boats also depart for the Kounoupi and Koutsomitis islets.
