Gialova is one of the best destinations in Greece for children. The waters are shallow and calm, the village is safe and within walking distance, the beaches are quite diverse for different ages.
The Best Beaches for Kids
Gialova’s main beach — the best for young children. Shallow for a long distance, no currents, two minutes from the village.
Divari (Golden Beach) — long, wide, with similar shallow waters. For children who need space.
Voidokilia — unforgettable for children from 7+ years old. The climb to Paleokastro is a real adventure.
