Nammos vs Cavo Psarou 2026
The Technical Clash – Two beach clubs. Same bay. Forty metres apart. Completely different universes.
I've spent money at both. I've watched people make the wrong choice at both. Here's the unfiltered breakdown so you don't.
The Core Difference
Nammos is a production. Choreographed glamour, global clientele, a DJ who starts at 2 PM and doesn't apologise for it. The kind of place where the bill arrives and nobody looks at it - not because they're rich, but because looking would break the spell.
Cavo Psarou is a beach club run by people who actually love the beach. Family operation. Greek warmth. Zero theatre. The kind of place where the octopus is €26 and the waiter remembers your name on day two.
Neither is better. They serve completely different needs. The mistake is treating them as alternatives when they're actually complements.
Sunbed Pricing – Side by Side (2026)
| Category | Nammos | Cavo Psarou |
|---|---|---|
| Standard set (2 beds + umbrella) | €80-220 | €65-90 |
| Front Row set | €250-350 | - |
| Quad set | - | €110-160 |
| VIP Cabana | €350-750 | - |
| Champagne Bed | €1,500+ min spend | - |
| Minimum spend | €150-250/person (peak) | None |
That minimum spend line is where the real cost calculation begins. At Nammos, the sunbed price is often the smaller number.
Nammos – What You Actually Pay
Front row in July. Two people. Let's be honest about the math:
- Double set: €300
- Minimum spend (×2): €400+
- Two bottles of entry-level rosé: €400-700
- Lunch (grilled fish, shared starters): €300-400
- Realistic total: €1,200-1,800 for a beach day
Cavo – What You Actually Pay
Same bay. Same water. Same yacht view.
- Double set: €65-90
- Octopus: €26-32
- Lobster pasta: €95-110
- Entry-level Greek rosé: €40-60
- Realistic total for two: €200-350

The Verdict – Who Should Go Where
Go to Nammos if:
- You want the full spectacle - DJ, crowd, celebrities
- You have a reservation (without one, peak season is painful)
- You're celebrating something and the bill is the point
- You've never been and need to see it once
Go to Cavo if:
- You want the beach, not the performance
- You're coming with family or a group with different budgets
- You want to actually eat well without a minimum spend
- You're a repeat visitor who's already done Nammos
The Pro Move – Do Both
Morning Cavo (9:30-12:30), afternoon Nammos (13:00-17:00), sunset Cavo. You save €200-400 versus a full Nammos day and the result is genuinely better.
