The most popular period in Agia Marina is the spring to autumn period with temperatures often peaking in the high 20s during these months. However, the resort never gets too busy. The temperatures drop to around the mid-teens in the winter months and while there will still be a few things to do in the off-season, Agia Marina definitely doesn’t see the same level of activity as the summer - so we recommend a trip then.
One of the major attractions to Agia Marina is its spectacular beach and facilities. The beach stretches for around 2km and has fine sand and shallow waters, making it the ideal place to visit with small children. Away from the beach, there is still loads to do and see in and around Agia Marina. It is a paradise for nature lovers and there are caves, lakes, gorges, fauna, flora and wild nature parks to explore. Other honourable mentions in this exciting resort include The Folklore Museum and a visit to the village of Pano Agia Marina.

Restaurants and cafes are spread out across the whole of the resort but perhaps the best place to eat is in the village of Pano Agia Marina.
