Egremni Beach ; Lefkada


Egremni (Greek: Εγκρεμνή or Εγκρεμνοί) is a remote beach located on the south-western coast of the Ionian island of Lefkada, north-western Greece. Since the creation of a sealed road during the mid 1990's, this remote beach has become one of the premier tourist destinations on the island, and in Europe as a whole.

The beach is accessed from the car park via 347 steep steps that hug a rugged cliff face. The waters of Egremni are strikingly clear and the sunsets are dramatic. The beach is composed of fine to medium-sized pebbles that are very comfortable to lie on, in the white color typical of the Ionian Islands.
