Latest reviews on Manastir's beaches

Ksamil Beach
4 Sivar Tejba

The beauty of the natural surroundings and the stunning beaches are undeniable. However, the locals who own the beaches and restaurants seem unaccustomed to dealing with tourists, resulting in subpar service and inflated prices. Shockingly, we received three different quotes for the same umbrellas and sunbeds from three different individuals at the same beach. We ended up paying an exorbitant price of 2000 lek for one umbrella and two sunbeds, which would have been acceptable if the services were up to par. Unfortunately, the beach was extremely crowded, and the beds were uncomfortably close to each other. Ksamil is a place where you pay top dollar for substandard services. Either the quality of service must improve, or the prices must come down.

The beach dosn't look anymore like the photo, anyway now it is dirty and has a bad management. Sad!

Pulebardha beach

The pristine waters of this beach are truly a sight to behold! Although the road leading up to it may be a bit rustic, the journey is well worth it. And with a nominal parking fee of just 100 lek, you can rest assured that your visit won't break the bank. While it's true that the umbrellas are situated in close proximity to one another, this only serves to enhance the convivial atmosphere of the beach. And for just 2000 lek, you can secure yourself a comfortable umbrella to shield you from the sun's rays. All in all, this is a truly lovely spot to spend a day in the sun!

Kerasia beach

The shoreline tends to be rather congested, and if you desire to secure an umbrella, it will cost you 10€, unless you venture further away from the main thoroughfare where you can discover the solace of shaded trees and tranquility. The scenery is stunning, as it is throughout this entire coastline, and there is a lovely, albeit expensive, tavern nearby.

Bataria Beach

We embarked on a journey to the picturesque town of Kassiopi, taking the Green buses line from Corfu. Despite the heavy traffic in some areas, the bus ride was a pleasant one, lasting for approximately an hour and a half. Upon arrival, we were thrilled to discover that the beach was a mere 10-minute walk away from the bus stop. Before heading to the beach, we stopped by a convenient supermarket located in front of the bus stop to stock up on snacks and drinks for our beach day. The walk to the beach was a delightful one, as we were greeted by the mesmerizing blue, turquoise, and crystal-clear waters. As we gazed into the horizon, we were able to catch a glimpse of the stunning mountain range in Albania. Although the beach was composed of pebbles and rocks, we were able to rent sunbeds and umbrellas, which proved to be the best option for us. However, if you're comfortable laying on the pebbles or rocks, there is ample space to do so as well. For two sunbeds and an umbrella, we paid around 7€, which was a reasonable price for a day of relaxation on this serene beach.

There is no access to the beach as the road is blocked by a barrier. A rather unfriendly individual is guarding it and refusing entry to people. It is a complete waste of time and petrol!
