Potamaki beach (Western Greece) is located outside the Pogonia 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 and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Potamaki beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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
"This beach may not have the super blue and crystal clear water found in other places, but it is definitely a great option for families with children. The sandy beach is conveniently located near Paleros town, where you can find markets and bars. Additionally, there is a nice beach bar with friendly staff available."
Lila Kallan
"The beach bar is operated by a friendly family and staff who serve delicious snacks. We tried their club sandwich and found it to be both delicious and reasonably priced. Whenever my brother and I stop in Palairos with our boat, we make sure to cycle over to the beach bar for a visit. It's definitely worth checking out."
