10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"The Artemis hotel is a truly special place - recently and beautifully renovated, nestled in lush gardens and right on the seashore - you can go from bedroom to beach in just 20 steps or less. Its tranquil setting with a private beach at the end of the bay from Makry Gialos, makes it feel secluded whilst still being a short walk from the harbour with its tavernas and cafes. The room we were in had a lovely view over the gardens and beach, and a balcony to enjoy the sunset from. Staff were all...

"The Coriva Beach hotel is a delight. Everywhere you look, the property is beautifully maintained, everything is just aesthetically pleasing, the staff is warm and friendly. The hotel is not opulently luxurious or overdone. It's a family owned place: three brothers took over the management of the place from their Dad. So, it doesn't have that Hiltony-Marriot-like corporate feel to it. Instead, Covina is homey, relaxing and comfortable. Breakfast options here are varied and delicious, with tables...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Makry Gialos?
The best area to stay in Makry Gialos is right along the main beach and promenade, particularly around the central harbour.

This area is the heart of Makry Gialos, where you'll find the longest stretch of sand, a good selection of tavernas, and small shops. The main road, often referred to as the 'beach road', runs parallel to the shore, making everything easily accessible on foot. You can expect to be just steps away from the water and have views of the Libyan Sea.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this area perfect. You can enjoy strolls along the promenade, dine at waterfront restaurants, and easily access boat trips or watersports activities directly from the beach. The convenience of having everything within a short walk means less time planning and more time enjoying the sunshine.

Families also find this central area very convenient. The main beach is known for its shallow, calm waters, which are ideal for children.
When is the best time to go to Makry Gialos?
The best time to visit Makry Gialos is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, September, and early October.

During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities without the intense heat and larger crowds of the peak summer months. You'll find the sea warm enough for swimming and water sports, and the local tavernas and shops are fully open.

Couples looking for a relaxing getaway will appreciate the quieter beaches and more intimate dining experiences available in May or October. It's a great time for coastal walks and exploring the nearby villages at a leisurely pace.

Families with younger children might find early June or September particularly appealing. The sea is lovely for swimming, and the temperatures are comfortable for children to play on the beach without becoming overheated.
