THE Guide to LEFKAS
Egremni Beach, Lefkas, Greece
In the far South West of Lefkas (Levkas, Lefkada), Egremni is one of Lefkas' most beautiful beaches. The road which leads down to the beach begins on the right, a few kilometres south of Athani Village. It's more of a dirt track than a road after a while, and there are a lot of hairpins.
You cannot drive all the way to the beach. When the road ends you must park the car (in gear !), and walk down 296 steps to the beach!
Only 296 steps to heaven?
Your reward, when you make it (if you make it) is an endless sand/shingle/pebble beach stretching away into the distance. During the mid-summer months there is a hut selling drinks and snacks and renting a few sunbeds and umbrellas near the bottom of the steps. Quieter sunbathing can be found at the far north and south ends of the beach, only occasionally disturbed at the southern end by a passing daytripper boat.
The beach shelves steeply, and there may be occasional currents and unexpected strong waves - so beware!

The perfect place to relax and forget all your worries. Except for one - how are you going to get back up those 296 steps?
