Beach overall scores
Prassou Beach (Central Macedonia) region (Halkidiki sub-region) is located outside the Pigadaki 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
"The beach is quite serene and there's a makeshift shelter that's shared by all. The underwater view is breathtaking and it's a perfect spot to halt for a small boat. It seems like the area is undergoing development as there are some structures being built around the beach, but currently, it's a peaceful and charming spot."
