Beach
Avlaki Beach
The municipal beach of Markopoulo: an organised sandy beach that has flown the Blue Flag every summer since 2003.
Beaches
Avlaki for an organised day, Hamolia for a quieter one, Porto Rafti for the evening.
The coast of Markopoulo wraps around the bay of Porto Rafti. Avlaki is the organised beach with facilities and an easy family day; Hamolia to the north-east is looser and quieter; the seafront itself is for walking, coffee and seafood once the sun drops.
