💡 Tips

  • The beaches here are mostly pebbly, so packing a pair of water shoes is highly recommended for comfortable swimming.
  • Rent a small motorboat to explore the hidden coves and secluded beaches along the Ionian coastline.
  • The sea is usually calmest in the morning; it's the best time for a swim before the afternoon breeze picks up.
  • Keep some cash on hand, as smaller traditional tavernas or beach side stands may not accept credit cards.
