| The beach of Agios Nikitas, Lefkada |
Location
Agios Nikitas, on the west coast of Lefkas
Beach Name
Agios Nikitas
My Rating Overall
2=good beach, could go for
swimming again if we happened to
be in the area, though it would not
be our first choice.
Beach
SP=Small pebbles
LP=Large pebbles
Sea Floor
SP= Small pebbles
LP=Large pebbles
Water
2= Nice sea, we had a nice swim but we did not
notice anything special about the water
(These are just my own unscientific observation of the water
feel and appearance)
My family and I enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool instead
of warm. We don' like visible floating particles of any kind or algae
settled on the beach.
Clothing
Topless sunbathing is not common
Access
Poor=accessible by car, poor road, long walk or climb
If you live or stay in a hotel in Agios Nikitas this beach
is within walking distance, and you probably park at your hotel's
parking lot. If you on the other hand drive there by car hoping
to spend the day at the beach, parking is only available at
the main road which tends to get very crowded in the summer.
The walk to the beach takes you through the town of Ag. Nikitas.
Amenities
R=restaurant (on the beach)
B=bar (on the beach)
T=town within walking distance
H=hotel on the beach
RV / Camper Accessibility
N= Campers explicitly forbidden, or the site is unsuitable
for RV parking
See "Access" above. A better option would be to drive a couple
of kilometers south to Kathisma beach to find ample space for
an RV. Go early in the day though because after 11:00 am it is
hard to find parking.
Snorkeling
P=looks promising but I did not dive
Notes
This is the little beach right at the edge of Agios Nikitas.
It is flanked by restaurants, hotels, and bars, and also serves
as the port of the town with few fishing boats and water taxis
sailing around.
A better option would be to take the water taxi
for a five minute ride to Mylos
beach which
is one of the best. You can also walk to Mylos beach, but the
path through the cliffs is steep and dangerous. Pefkoulia beach
is also nearby near the road before you reach Agios Nikitas, and
Kathisma beach
is a couple of kilometers farther south.
