Egremni Beach, Apollonii

Beach of unreal beauty! Chrystal clear turquoise water makes you feel extraordinary. Small stones on the beach could feel unconfortable for feet, beach shoes recomended. You can rent parasol for 5€, no sunbeds. To reach the beach there are stairs with 400 steps. There is a little restoran at the top of the stairs and shop where you can buy beach shoes, beach and snorkling equipment. Parking is 1km from the stairs and than you go by foot on steep winding road. Parking costs 5€ per day. Parking on the road edge is for free but it is ocupied usualy.

I have visited Egremni beach several times. The walk down and up is hard going and not for the faint hearted! The beach is stunning, the water is clear and blue and it’s definitely one of the best beaches in Greece but please bear in mind: You park up and then walk approximately 1km down a very steep and winding road. You then have to walk down 360 steps to the beach. The walk back is tougher - the incline of the road is 15%. Take water and take your time. 1km doesn’t seem far but in the heat it is. You can also hire umbrellas on the beach for €8 which are a must as there is no shade at all. They also sell drinks but not cheap - €4 for a small can of beer.

The incomparable beauty of Egremni beach in Lefkada made it one of the most beautiful and much-publicized landscapes in the world. The water surrounding the beach is clean, turquoise and offers one of the best conditions for swimming in Europe. Egremni beach is also one of the largest beaches of Lefkada, with a length of over 2.5 km. Egremni beach attracts many travelers annually and is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Its name comes from the impressive rocks that surround the beach. The beach from 2021 now has access both on foot and from the sea! The access on foot is not very easy and you will probably get tired of the uphill route on the way back. The beach is very long so it doesn't seem to be crowded. Do not forget to take water and sun protection with you because there are no trees for shading.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Lefkada, but because of the difficult access it becomes one of the most overrated. The 1.1 km slope with 15% inclination and the 400 steps are difficult both going down or up. I recommend returning after sunset, when it becomes cooler. Would not recommend it to people with heart conditions. There's nothing to drink or eat down there. Come prepared, but try to keep the luggage at a minimum. My opinion is that it's not worth the effort. Honestly, it's much more spectacular when you look at it from above than when you're down there. There are plenty of amazing beaches in Lefkada with easier access.

Interesting experience; The beach itself is amazing and beautiful; However, one has to walk 1.2 km and take 400 stairs to actually reach it :) Going back can be tricky, but with enough breaks and a lot of water - it can be done
