Egremni Beach

About Egremni Beach

Egremni is one of the great wild beaches of the Greek islands: nearly two kilometres of gleaming white pebbles laid out at the foot of the towering white cliffs of Lefkada's remote west coast. It is a beach of immense scale and simplicity - no buildings, no sunbeds, no roads to the shore, just a vast expanse of pale stone, huge clear water, and the overwhelming presence of the cliffs. The beach has long been reached by a spectacularly long staircase of over three hundred steps cut into the cliff face, and the walk down, which reveals the beach in ever wider glimpses, has become part of the legend of the place. In the years since the 2015 earthquake and subsequent winter storms, access has been changeable: parts of the path and the shoreline have been damaged and repaired, and at times the beach has been reached more easily by the excursion boats that run from Nydri in summer, dropping swimmers directly onto the pebbles. However you arrive, the reward is the same: a beach that feels almost untouched, water of a clarity and depth of blue that is hard to believe, and the sense of being somewhere genuinely remote. The pebbles are famously smooth and white, the water deepens slowly, and the sheer length of the beach means you can always find a stretch entirely to yourself. For the classic day out you want calm seas and full sun - and a good pair of shoes for the stones.
