The beach is characterized by its crystal clear water and a mixture of sand and small pebbles. The beach descends rapidly into the sea, making it less suitable for children or weak swimmers. However, this also allows for good visibility to observe marine life.

In the morning, the beach is quiet and peaceful, perfect for a walk along the shore or a swim in the sea. By the afternoon, the beach becomes more crowded, yet it maintains its charm.
Amenities at Afandou Beach include sun loungers and umbrellas available for hire, as well as water sports activities. Showers and changing cubicles are conveniently located along the beach edge. There are also several hotels, restaurants, bars, and clubs in the vicinity, providing accommodation, food, and entertainment options.
Despite the cleanliness of the beach itself, the surrounding areas are often littered with plastic bottles and debris, and stray cats are a common sight. Visitors are encouraged to respect the environment and contribute to keeping the area clean. Overall, Afandou Beach is a perfect choice for those seeking to relax and enjoy the beauty of Greece.
