Simos Beach

Location Elafonisos, Lakonia, Peloponnese Beach Name Simos Beach My Rating Overall 5=superb beach, best we have visited and worth going far out of our way to swim there again Beach S=sand (sandy beach) Sea Floor S=sand (sandy beach) Water 5=the sea water was some the best for swimming. We would go way out of our way to swimm there again (just my own unscientific observation of the water feel and appearance) My family and I enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool instead of warm. We don' like to see any visible floating particles of any kind or algae settled on the beach. Clothing Topless sunbathing is common Access Fair=accessible by car, poor road condition Amenities R=restaurant (on the beach) B=bar (on the beach) C=cantina (on the beach)   RV / Camper Accessibility N= Campers explicitly forbidden, or the site is unsuitable for RV parking Snorkeling S=only sand bottom Notes Simos beach is more organized than nearby Sarakiniko. Several bars and outdoor cafes. Can get crowded at places

Comments It doesn't get better than this. I heard that George Bush Senior visited by boat as well as Princess Diana shortly before her death. The far beach at Simos often has luxury yachts anchored off shore. It is about a 5 klm walk to the beach from town. Unfortunately you get to pass the garbage dump. I have been to the island 3 times. I love it there.
