If you only remember a few things from this guide, make it these.
Ftelia, Psarou, and Paraga solve different versions of a beach day; treating them as interchangeable weakens the trip.
Alemagou makes Ftelia a serious option when the day wants all-day beach, restaurant, DJ, and sunset-lounge energy.
Psarou and Paraga are stronger when the trip explicitly wants scene or sunset ritual, not when every day is drifting by default.
Use these comparisons when the shortlist feels close and you need a cleaner decision instead of more tabs.
Ftelia is the less obvious, wind-shaped beach restaurant move. Psarou is the full glamour signal.
Use Ftelia when the day should feel north-coast, bohemian, and less status-led.
Use Psarou when the beach day is meant to be visible, polished, and glamour-led.

Use Paraga when the afternoon should build into a more explicit sunset and music sequence.
Tie-breaker: Choose Alemagou for a north-coast shift; choose Scorpios when ritual sunset is the point.
Use the sections below to shape the weekend, narrow the field, and decide what deserves your time.
Ftelia works when the day should feel north-coast, windier, and more bohemian than the south-coast circuit.
Keep Ftelia positioned as a distinct north-coast choice, not a generic beach-club substitute.
The south coast is strongest when it is chosen for a specific peak: glamour at Psarou or sunset and music at Paraga.
Keep the south-coast choices separate so the guide can explain why each area fits a different trip.
