Beach overall scores
Prapa Mali beach (Epirus) region (Thesprotia sub-region) is located outside the Karavostasi settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"After a 30-minute walk from the end of the road, we were eager to find a spot to satisfy our cravings. And then, we stumbled upon a beautiful beach. The swim was long and tiring, but the journey back and uphill climb were even more challenging. However, the experience was worth every ounce of effort we put in. We had a great time and enjoyed every moment of it."
Nikos Papadopoulos
"The beach offers a powdery sand and shallow, pristine waters that are a sight to behold. However, reaching it can prove to be quite the challenge, as it requires a sturdy 4x4 vehicle and a brief hike. Alternatively, visitors can opt for a regular car ride to the nearby archaeological site, followed by a steep uphill trek back. For those who prefer to arrive by boat, that opt..."
