Beach shoes needed for Greek islands?
Going to Crete, Santorini and Naxos in September and planning on swimming and walking on the beaches...are beach shoes (aka aquasocks) recommended to cope with pebbles, sea urchins, etc.?

Not on every beach of course -- most on Naxos are sandy -- but you may come across the beach of your dreams, and see it has pebbles and stones for the first few feet ... and you want to be able to run right in...

Yes. I use them all the time. Make sure they're tight enough to stay on your feet when you swim. Mine are a bit too big and they feel as if they're going to come off as I'm swimming. But they save the feet from walking on all those pebbles. Seems like the only ones that aren't affected by the stones are small children.
