Beach description:
The turquoise water is very clean, and the shallow water together with the fine sand makes Agios Ioannis very convenient for young children. Only in a few small parts of the beach you may come across rocks.
The beach is organized and arranged only in one part, where the hotel is located. In the larger part of the beach, you can set up your own beach equipment as there is plenty of space.
On the far left side of the beach (near the main road) there is a hotel, so that part of the beach is reserved for hotel guests.
The rest of the beach is free and has plenty of space for a larger number of people. There is also plenty of parking space, and in the far right part, facing the sea, you will probably find some shade, and the access to the beach is easy.
Near Agios Ioannis, there are also beaches Kalogria and Koviou which you can visit as well.
Earlier, there were two beach bars on this beach, but now they are closed and besides the hotel, there are no other facilities, so there are no toilets, showers, or cabins on the beach.
To reach the beach, more specifically the parking lot for it, follow the sign for the Castri beach. Before reaching Castri beach, you will see a meadow where you can park and right there is the path leading down to the beach.
The parking lot has no shade, but if you arrive early, you can set up your belongings under the trees and sit in the shade in the afternoon.
