“We enjoyed our week at Styra Beach. Styra Beach is located in a small bay with beautiful natural surroundings. The rooms are small tiny houses build upon a small hill, all with seaview and an amazong view especially at sunset. The rooms are a little aged and the bathroom might need some refurbishment but they are super clean and everything was functioning. The Resort, Venus Beach is family owned has a very nice swimming pool and beach area, all well spaced over the natural resort. The resort's Taverna provides high quality simple Greek cuisine. The breakfast area (buffet) on the 1st floor feels very "canteen" and noisy with the other guests of Venus beach but Beyond Beach guest can take their breakfast plates to the terras area. Coffee is really not great. The BeyondBeach team is full of good intent and helpfull but the organisation of the sailing activity is a little chaotic. The main painpoint is the limited availability of sailing boats, especially the double handers ( 2 Argo's & 1 Vago) and 2 14ft catamaran. When sailing conditions are great, all boats are quickly taken and the "first come - first serve" organisation makes you sit & wait (and hope) that you will be the next one to get a boat. On top, the sailing kit lacks maintenance and repair: Spi missing on 2 out of the 3 double handers, trapeze handles missing on 1 of the 2 cats. This feels like this is an area of neglect. All this creates unnecessary frustration for more advanced sailors. All in all, a great week but if Beyond Beach wants to seduce true sailing fanatics, a little investment needed. But definitely a holiday to recommend.”

“Our Beyond Beach holiday in Evia was excellent! From the booking process right through to the holiday itself. Evia is beautiful & the transfer from Athens airport via coach then ferry just added to the excitement for the holiday ahead. Views from the ferry were beautiful. The Venus Beach hotel was the most picturesque of settings. Sunsets were amazing! Our teens had a brilliant time, with ‘meet your mates’ on the first day allowing them to make friends for the week ahead. The beach team were excellent with Michelle leading a team of really fun instructors whom our daughters loved. There were loads of fun water & beach activities. My husband loved being able to take out boats/windsurfs/paddleboards whenever he liked & he had lessons in wingfoiling. I loved being able to view the water activities from sun loungers by the pool or on the beach & reading a book. The perfect setting & something for everyone in the family! We wish we could’ve stayed longer!”

“The most relaxing active holiday ever! We loved the setting of the hotel with the views over the sea and the mountains, the secret beach for early morning swims and the staff for their endless kindness and positivity.”

“We've just returned from a fabulous week at Stira Bay. Michelle and her team of beach staff were amazing, doing everything they can to make it a memorable week for their guests. Dipping in and out of sailing, windsurfing and other activities was perfect! Thank you so much to each and every one of you!”

“We arrived with to Stira Bay with high hopes after a fantastic holiday to Kefalonia last year. We loved the resort, the swimming/snorkelling was fabulous, watersports plentiful and well organised. The children (teens and younger) had a great social time, felt very safe around the resort and the walk to and from the local town. The private beach was stunning, sheltered, quiet, wonderful Rooms were great and the views wonderful, the cleaning team were outstanding Again, we met fantastic people and had a wonderful holiday, we hope to be back again soon.”

“We had the pleasure of staying at Stira Bay Beach last week. We wanted a holiday that would fulfil my husband’s sailing wants, my 12 year olds ask for lots of water sports and for me an opportunity to get lost in a book while watching the world go by. Beyond Beach definitely surpassed our expectations. If you want a more informal and personal experience then this is it. The location was phenomenal and view from the balcony breath-taking. A great onsite team. My daughter concurred best teachers ever especially Orla. The icing on the cake we made some new friends. Lots of equipment and not a sun-bed fight in sight. There is a mini fridge in the room with space to stock up on cold drinks and snacks from the local shops, which offer excellent value so would make a point to stop off before arriving or can take a short stroll into New Styra. Will we definitely look to book with Beyond Beach again.”
