Where is Aretes Beach Located?

Aretes Beach is about 13km south of Neos Marmaras. It is well marked and the turnoff from the main road to the beach is about 5km before Toroni. From there, a road of about 500m, partly asphalt and partly dirt, leads you to the beach. Aretes actually consists of three beaches. The largest is located furthest south and is the most famous. It is 400m long and sandy. It is also suitable for children.

Facilities and Natural Ambiance

There is the Aretes Rooms on the beach, as well as a small semi-private settlement built in the Cycladic style. Within the Aretes Hotel, right on the beach, there is a restaurant with decent prices and a pleasant atmosphere. The hotel is located on the southern part of the beach and this part also has some natural shade. However, the northern part of the beach is more beautiful, with a longer shallow area, more golden sand, and turquoise water. This part of the beach is also much wider. It only has a charming bar with soft music and plenty of space to set up your own equipment and enjoy quality time.

Hidden Coves for Complete Peace

North of the largest cove, there are two smaller ones, one rocky and the other sandy with turquoise water and without crowds if you want to be alone.

Aretes is a very beautiful beach and perfect if you want to escape the crowds and enjoy untouched nature.
