Beaches

Few regions in the Mediterranean offer such a variety of beaches as the Municipality of Monemvasia. Over 50 of them are easily accessible by road; others are small, hidden-away coves demanding to be discovered by the more adventurous.

Whether sand or pebble, busy or isolated, all have crystal clean waters, and many have been awarded Blue Flags, an indication of a high standard of maintenance.

There is a choice between the east coast, on the Myrtoon Sea, or the west coast on the Gulf of Laconia. Or head for land’s end at legendary Cape Maleas and the beaches of Vatika.

Directions are given to every beach as well as suggestions as to which are best when strong winds are blowing.
