Egremni Beach, Greece

According to CNN.com, Egremni Beach in Greece falls in to the number twenty-four spot on their list of the best beaches in the world. Given they are in the top twenty-five out of 100, I figured they were worth exploring; especially since I am a little obsessed with Greece after watching The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Who wouldn't want to go fishing in Greece with Kostas? (The cute Greek boy from the movie!)

Anyways, let's get back to exploring Egremni Beach. According to Wikipedia.com, "Egremni is a remote beach located on the south-western coast of the Ionian island of Lefkada in north-western Greece. Since the creation of a sealed road in the 1990s, this remote location has become one of the most popular beaches through all of Greece and even Europe. 

Remember, Egremni is located on the island of Lefkada,


Egremni Beach is most well-known for its dramatic sunsets, electric-blue water and enough room for everyone: stretching for more than 2.5 km. Interestingly enough, the central part of the beach is often occupied by nudists, according to CNN.com.

You will want to consult with a travel agent to decide which international airport you should fly into. However, once you have arrived you should know that you can drive your rental car to Egremni Beach, but once you reach Athani Village, you will have to park your car and walk down 347 steps to reach the beach. How's that for a remote location? From what I have heard, the walk is well worth it!

If you want to be close to Egremni Beach during your trip, you can book an apartment, villa or studio in the nearby village of Athani, a quiet place with taverns and wonderful picturesque views of the surrounding area. 

There is limited information about Egremni Beach on the internet, but I personally think that makes the island that much more desirable! Happy travels.

'Sea' you next time!
