br{mso-data-placement:same-cell;} Reached via a winding and set against a backdrop of crumbling cliffs with rock formations at either end, this large sandy beach is one of the finest and most popular on the island. The beach is popular among families and it is fully organized. Swimming is superb; the water is initially shallow, but deepens farther out and there can be a strong undercurrent at the northern end (as on many beaches along the west coast). Swimmers must obey the safety flag if it is flying. Glyfada attracts mostly young crowds and it is usually noisy. If you go on right side just where the rocks begin you may find that the water is more cold. That is of a spring of fresh water empties into the sea. On the right side just on the edge of the beach you may discover a villa of a former greek designer Polatof, sold to a greek lawyer until recently |
