What makes it 75% Solo-Friendly: A solo visitor can swim, snorkel and relax in calm clear water, but the beach is small and staff may insist on renting a two-sunbed set, and there is no lifeguard on duty.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Enough time to swim, snorkel, and relax without rush
Swim in the free-access cove:
Enter the calm bay to swim in clear water without fee
Tip: Arrive early to claim a spot or bring your own towel
Explore rock pools:
Wade along the pebbly edge to spot small fish and invertebrates
Tip: Wear water shoes for better grip on stones
Rent snorkel gear:
Hire mask and fins to see marine life just offshore
Tip: Confirm price (€5) at the beach bar before renting
Reserve sunbed and umbrella:
Rent a shaded set for comfort on the pebbly shore
Tip: Solo visitors may need to book a full set; call ahead to confirm
Walk the coastal footpath:
Follow the trail above the beach for panoramic sea views
Tip: Visit at sunrise or sunset to avoid crowds

The water here is amazing I really enjoyed to swim there. For two people we paid 25 Eur and got the sunbed from the second row. After second row, sunbeds for two are 20 Eur but they are not clean as like the first two rows. The main problem here is wc. They have only plastic cabins. Also to eat they sell only sandwiches.

Psaromoura Beach is a little hidden, which makes it the perfect place for a quiet morning or afternoon. There’s lot’s of beds to rent, but the prices were very high (€15,- for two) compared to other beaches. But also some room to sit in the sand.

Very beautiful beach which during low season (end of October) wasn’t too crowded (high season is most likely very different). The water is so clear and it was a snorkeling paradise for us and the kids!
July–August is busiest. For a quieter visit, go in June or September mornings. Water stays warm from May to October.
