Listed 1 sub titles with search on: Beaches for destination: "ACHAIA Prefecture GREECE".
A place of great natural beauty, Achaia will tempt you with its variety
of mountain and coastal landscapes because it offers endless possibilities for
exploration and outdoor activities. To have a swim and relax we recommend the
beaches of Monodendri and
Vrachnaika that are west of
Patra.
Beautiful stone houses blend in with the natural environment and are
the perfect setting for entertainment and its cosmopolitan life-style. The same
could be said of Tsoukalaika,
Kaminia and Kato Achaia, whose
scenery, and lively nightlife attract many visitors. On the western side of the
cape, Yianniskari beach extends a warm welcome and offers an escape from the hectic
pace of modern life. If one is looking for a wide range of facilities, then the
beach of Kalogria is the place
to go. It has an excellent sandy beach that slopes gently to the shores of the
Ionian.
East of Patra one should go to the nearby beach of Rio,
which is popular and has all the facilities one might need. The neighbouring beach
of Psathopirgo is a picturesque
fishing village with crystal clear calm waters and visitors all year round. Next
to it is Panagopoula and Labiri,
two beaches with pristine waters in beautiful surroundings where one can enjoy
fresh fish and local delicacies. The night life at the neighbouring beach of Loggo
lasts until the early hours of the morning as it does in Selianitika
and Akolis which have developed rapidly into the most cosmopolitan beaches in
the area (they also offer water sports). East of the town of Aigio
are beaches with organised campsites and popular seaside restaurants. Many seasonal
shops and hotels can be found at Nikolaika
and Rodia where the sea is clean and tourism has increased significantly, while
at Elaiona there is an organised
campsite. Diakopto, immediately
to the east, is a fine resort in a cosy bay with a small harbour and is one of
the prettiest settings in the Corinthian gulf. The coastal region of Akrata
(Krathio) has excellent tourist facilities for its large numbers of visitors,
while the attractive settlement of Aigira
marks the borders with the prefecture of Corinthia, and captivates the visitor
with its marvellous beaches and the dazzling Greek colour.
