Lefkada: Egremni Lefkada

Lefkada Beaches: Egremni beach in Lefkada Greece Egremni Lefkada: Egremni is a beautiful beach situated 30 kilometres south from the Lefkada’s capital. The long sandy beach is surrounded by impressive cliffs and clear waters and is only accessible via 250 steps descending along the cliff. Sun beds and umbrellas can be rented on the beach.

Our Impressions: Approaching by car and scooter you take a turn off the asphalt road to find a long 3km descent on a dirt road which has a fair few rocks as well. At the bottom is a carpark where you are charged. From here there are 354 steps down to the sand. They are quite safe apart from a bit of a rickety wooden staircase right at the bottom. The journey down is very pleasant and you can see the delightful blues of the water and the bright white of the beach itself. A row of loungers sit by the entrance but most of the beach is free of these and very undeveloped. The beach is very long with only a small shack near the entrance to spoil the view. Sitting on the beach the rock face behind you is very steep and the rocks chalky. At the back there are pebbles which diminish in size as you approach the water and finally become what can be described as sand. The water here is beautiful but don’t attempt to snorkel because the waves and sands cloud it somewhat. The aquamarine water spreads into the beyond. On the way from the main town you will pass through Athani. It is a pleasant village with a few restaurants which provide good views for a meal. Impressions: The worst thing about this beach is the long climb up at the end of it. But it’s worth it for the beautiful water and pebbly sand this beach has to offer. The rock face behind you gives you a nice feeling of isolation and there are few beaches in the world that can compete with this one.
