Marathounda beach
Marathounda is a popular beach for tourists as well as for locals. It is located in a wind protected bay in the southeast coast of Symi, 17 kilometers south of Gialos and very close to the monastery of Panormitis. The beach is known for the goats that roam freely nearby, and who are always curious about what is in your bags. They do everything they can to steal food. This pebbly beach with the crystla-clear emerald waters is perfect for swimming, relaxation and snorkeling.
The coast is covered in its entirety by pebbles, which it's great if you like pebbles. Part of the beach is organized with umbrelas and sunbeds while an extra plus is the taverna that serves delicious traditional home cooked food. The beach is accessible by water taxi or road. You can drive with your own car or bike or travel by bus.
