Beach overall scores
Mesa Pigadia beach (South Aegean) is located outside the Akrotiri 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 Santorini 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 Mesa Pigadia 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
"The road leading to the beach is a bit bumpy, the effort to get there is definitely worth it due to the beautiful setting. Additionally, the beach is adorned with gray pebbles. Two bars can be found on the beach, and we particularly enjoyed the newer one further down the shore. Our group had a delightful lunch and drinks at the bar."
Craig O'Neal
"The beach is stunningly peaceful and attractive, despite its lack of development. It's worth noting that the beach is covered in gray pebbles, adding to its unique charm."
