Beaches
On Meganisi, you won't find mile-long sandy beaches teeming with hordes of holidaymakers. Instead, you will find that the island is blessed with several magnificent sheltered little beaches and secluded coves, where you can relax, sunbathe and enjoy a cooling swim in crystal clear waters. If you seek something more active, you can usually find a good breeze somewhere on the island to windsurf or sail, particularly in the afternoons.
Some beaches have bars or kiosks where you can purchase drinks and/or snacks, but before you leave your accommodation it's worth double-checking and if necessary, taking any supplies you may need, including plenty of water.
The purity of the waters are superb for swimming and snorkelling, but that purity also provides an ideal habitat for sea urchins which you will find dotted among the rocks and shallow waters. Keep an eye out when you are wading around as they can be difficult to spot and very painful if you tread on their spikes - it's advisable to wear sturdy soled water shoes.
Agios Ioannis
In front of the church of Agios Ioannis lies the beautiful beach of the same name. Its somewhat isolated position on the west coast of Meganisi means it is rarely crowded. The spectacular range of colours in the water is very inviting and with views across to Lefkada as well as the tiny island of Thilia, Agios Ioannis...
Agrilia
Further down the track from Agios Ioannis Beach on the west coast, the long gently curving Agrilia Beach is adjacent to a small wetland which is a haven for wading birds and other wildlife, and natural springs provide a verdant landscape. Its distance from any of the villages means that you will need transport...
Bereta
