| Paradise Beach, Mykonos Greece |
|
Having only been to the beach in the USA, I have swam in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans many times. The first time I visited the beach in Greece was on Paradise Beach on the Island of Mykonos. I was surprised. Not because the water was so crystal clear that you could see your feet clearly even when you were in the water up to your neck, not because there was not a scrap of paper or any kind of debris floating in the sea, no it was because it was so windy but there was barely a ripple of a wave in the water. This of course made for an excellent start on my voyage of learning to scuba dive.
I then visited Santorini where I found something even more surprising. The water in Santorini is not only blue like that of Mykonos but it is a truly rich and royal blue. This is because of the depths of the sea in the area, caused by the volcano that erupted thousands of years ago. Diving here was like sinking into an abyss.

It just would not be complete without a visit to Zakynthos and the famous Navagio (shipwreck) Beach!
Here are a few more worth a peek and I realize there are thousands more but you will have to visit Greece to discover your own favorite beach!
