Things to Do  

Swim

Swim, Vrachonisida Agia Marina

 steventilly Says:  Like I said, the other thing you can do here is swim. The water is beautiful, especially between the shore and the islet. The channel between the church on the islet and the shore, is roped off to prevent boats coming in that way, so swimming in that area is safe. The water... 

Sunbathe

Sunbathe, Vrachonisida Agia Marina

 steventilly Says:  There are only really two things to do here - sunbathe and swim. Sunbathing takes place on the lido, which is terraced and arranged into different sections. Some is down by the water, some is on more of a "garden" terrace, an some more is shaded by a glade of small trees....

Taverna: The Only Optipon

Taverna: The Only Optipon, Vrachonisida Agia Marina

 steventilly Says:  There's a taverna behind the Lido that does typical greek fare, including fish dishes. Adjoining that is a little garden area where you can enjoy drinks. We didn't eat at the taverna as we never want much for lunch and were content with the spanokopita that we used to bring... 

Transportation  

Great Views If You Walk

Great Views If You Walk, Vrachonisida Agia Marina

Listen To Advice

Listen To Advice, Vrachonisida Agia Marina

 steventilly Says:  The guy at our hotel said "where are you going today"."Agia marina", we replied."By boat?""Yes""Don't sit on the front on the way back"...It was a lovely day so we ignored the advice, and got a comfortable seat, reclining on the front of the boat. We got well and truly... 

What to Pack  

Go Prepared

Go Prepared, Vrachonisida Agia Marina

 steventilly Says:   Once you're here you're here so make sure you bring enough of all that you want. For me that included a (pirate) hat and a fully UV resistant shirt for when I'd been in the sun for long enough. Also (obviously) swimming shorts (no speedos please!) and water shoes (for...
