Planning your visit to Egremni Beach
Sand beaches are usually gentle underfoot and easy for swimmers and children, though they can be exposed to wind and waves, so check conditions on the day. Bring a hat and extra water, as shade can be scarce away from facilities.
Access is rated challenging and involves a steep hike. Take plenty of water, start early and allow enough daylight for the walk back.
The usual season runs May–October. Visiting near the start or end of that window usually means fewer people, but the sea is cooler and some facilities may not be open yet or may have closed for the year.
