Beach Baths Souvala (also known as Loutra Beach) is a charming and historic coastal destination located on the northern coast of Aegina Island, within the Attica region. The nearest town is the traditional fishing village of Souvala, which is just a few minutes’ walk (about 10 kilometers from the main Aegina Town).

This spot is celebrated for its unique history as a thermal spring site and its inviting, family-friendly atmosphere.

Atmosphere and Vibe

Visitors frequently describe the beach as a “hidden gem” with a laid-back and cozy vibe. It is particularly popular with families and couples seeking a quieter alternative to the island’s busier ports, though it can become livelier on weekends.

Water and Terrain

Reviewers highlight the “unreal” turquoise and aqua-blue waters, which are clear and shallow, making them ideal for small children. The shoreline is a mix of sand and rocks; while the entry can be rocky for the first few meters, it typically becomes sandy and pleasant as you go deeper.

Facilities and Services

The beach is partly organized, featuring a beach bar that is often praised for its friendly hospitality. Many reviewers mention that sunbeds and umbrellas are available for “free” provided you order a drink or coffee from the bar.

Historical Thermal Springs

A unique feature noted by guests is the presence of the old “Loutra” (baths). While the formal spa building is currently closed, the beach retains its name from the natural warm sulphuric springs that were historically used to treat ailments like rheumatism and arthritis.
