Top Nature in Western Greece

Pack your own snacks! There are some shops nearby, but they can be pricey. I brought a cooler with sandwiches and fruit and it made my beach day so much better.

If you can, visit on a weekday instead of the weekend – it gets super crowded. I went on a Tuesday and had plenty of space to lay my towel and enjoy the sun.

If you plan to grab some food, check out the local tavernas nearby. They're way cheaper than beach bars, plus the food is super fresh! I wish I had discovered this earlier instead of spending too much at the beach cafe.

You might want to bring your own beach gear like umbrellas and mats. Renting them can cost a bit, and the sun can be intense around noon, so it’s better to be prepared. I forgot my mat and regret it.

I suggest hitting the beach by 9 AM to snag a good spot before it gets crowded. Trust me it makes a big difference! Later at noon it was packed and a bit noisy.

I recommend getting there before 10 AM to grab a good spot on the sand. It gets pretty packed, and the sun's just perfect for lounging at that time!

I suggest grabbing a light breakfast at one of the local cafes before heading to the beach. The food is delicious and saves you from overpriced snacks on the beach. My favorite spot is a little place a short walk from the shore
