Beach overall scores
Apolafsi beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Arki 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 coast of the Arki island 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 Apolafsi 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.

"A small slice of paradise! Perfect location to unwind after a day by the ocean away from the hustle and bustle.
Delightful uncomplicated cuisine prepared and presented by a friendly family.
My go-to spot for dining and relaxing in this part of the globe."
Rüdiger Stefan Rill
"Charming eatery with a view of a serene and scenic cove to the southern part of the quaint harbor. The cuisine is expertly prepared at home, using only the freshest ingredients available to the proprietor. For larger groups, it is advisable to phone in advance to allow for proper preparation. Primarily catering to the vessels in the harbor, the ambiance is truly delightful. ..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Apolafsi beach (South Aegean) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Apolafsi beach (South Aegean) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Apolafsi beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
