What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Eros Beach is praised for its stunning, unique volcanic landscape and the exceptional Theros Wave Bar, offering delicious food and cocktails with breathtaking views. While the journey can be an adventure and the beach can be windy, visitors find it a worthwhile 'hidden gem' for relaxation and photography.
"We went there for our post wedding brunch.
Incredible place with a huge vue on the Cliff and the beach.
The manager was a little stressed but really really nice : she wanted to do the best for us.
The good and beverage were pretty good.
The only kind remark that we could do was that we have booked to privatize two big tents on the beach.
And there were people inside. Whereas it's a big price to book them.
So the manager ask someone to tell to the guys to go, but it's not our part, I think, to make it notice for such an important day as it was for us, and also for such an important budget as it was.
By the way, thank you very much for everything and hope to coming back one day. Wish you the best ! ✨"

"An incredible place!
The drive to the bar is stunning and the bar itself matches up. Friendly staff, lovely sunbeds (20€ for the cheaper pairs), fabulous drinks and food and the backdrop is amazing. Definitely worth a visit, we may even squeeze in another in our short time here. 5 ⭐️"
