Paralia Dafni is a beach located in Zakintos, known for its clear, quiet, and sandy shores. The beach features a unique natural landscape, with rocks on one side that provide an excellent spot for snorkeling. Visitors may even have the chance to encounter turtles in their natural habitat.
The beach offers a range of amenities for visitors, including free sunbeds. There are also local tavernas nearby where visitors can relax and enjoy the view. However, it's important to note that the beach can get quite crowded, especially on weekends.
Access to the beach is via a steep road, which can be challenging for some. Once you've navigated the road, there's a short walk from the car park to the beach itself. Despite the potential difficulties in accessing the beach, many visitors find the journey worth it for the serene setting and natural beauty of Paralia Dafni.
While the beach is a popular tourist spot, it's also a nesting ground for sea turtles. Unfortunately, the beach has suffered from sand erosion due to tourism, and there have been instances of tourists getting too close to the nests. As such, the beach is closed at night to protect the turtles, although this is not always strictly enforced.
Paralia Dafni amenities include parking and loungers.
You can enjoy one of the restaurants at the beach while soaking up the sun.
Visitor reviews highlight the clear, quiet, and sandy beach with free sunbeds as a major attraction, with the added bonus of potential turtle sightings and opportunities for snorkeling. The stunning views and crystal clear water are also highly appreciated by the visitors. However, concerns are raised about the lack of protection for sea turtle nests, the poor condition of the access road, and overcrowding during peak times.
