Paralia Lomvarda (also known as Lomvarda Beach) is a popular and versatile coastal destination located in a small bay near Varkiza. It is highly regarded for its calm waters and its balance of organized amenities and natural space.

Atmosphere & Scenic Beauty

• Calm and Sheltered: The beach is situated in a bay that offers significant protection from most winds. Reviewers frequently note that the sea here is usually calm and flat as a mirror, making it a peaceful spot for a swim.
• Vibrant Vibe: Especially on weekends, it has a lively energy. It feels more “natural” than the highly manicured resorts closer to central Athens, yet it still offers a lively beach bar experience.

Water & Shore Quality

• Clean and Clear: The water is consistently described as clean and clear. Because the bay is shallow for a good distance from the shore, the water often feels slightly warmer than at other nearby beaches.
• Coarse Sand: The shore consists of coarse sand mixed with small pebbles. While generally comfortable, some visitors prefer wearing water shoes for the entry into the water where some larger stones might be present.

Facilities & Services

• Semi-Organized: Lomvarda is divided into “organized” and “free” zones.
• The Beach Bar: On one side, there is a popular beach bar (often associated with Mojito Bay) that provides sunbeds, straw umbrellas, and music.
• Sports: Reviewers often highlight the excellent beach volleyball court, which is a main attraction for active visitors.
• Public Space: A large portion of the coast remains untouched, allowing visitors to bring their own equipment and enjoy the beach for free.
• Essentials: The organized area includes showers and changing rooms. Lifeguards are typically on duty during the high season.

Suitability & Pricing

• Excellent for Families: Due to the shallow, calm waters and the sandy shore, it is considered one of the best spots for families with young children.
• Pricing: Entry to the beach itself is generally free, but renting a set of sunbeds and an umbrella at the beach bar typically costs between €15 and €25, depending on the day of the week and the season.
• Parking: There is a relatively large open parking area near the beach, though it can fill up quickly on summer weekends.
