Latest reviews on Peloponnese, Western Greece, Ionian's beaches

Xigia Sulfur Beach
10 Sana Ghidileanu

This beach is an excellent spot to unwind and take a dip in the water. It has all the basic amenities you need, so you can enjoy your time without any fuss.

acharavi beach
2 Bogdan K.

The beach is pleasant, but it may not be accessible to the general public. The hotel has reserved around 8-10 sunbeds with umbrellas, which are off-limits to outsiders. On the left side of the beach, you can lounge on the sand, but it's not the cleanest. Be cautious when following GPS directions as it may guide you towards a locked gate on the left. If you get too close to the beach, there's a chance of getting stuck in the sand.

Kako Lagadi beach

We left cairns so just follow them down to the water. Awesome beach.

Koutala beach
10 Vali R.

To get to this amazing beach, simply drive to the end of the road, park your car, and take the small dirt path between the two hills. It's just a 2-minute walk and you'll be there. Usually, you'll find the beach mostly empty, with just a few people sunbathing or swimming without clothes. Don't forget to bring all your essentials with you.
