Agiofili, Lefkas

Agiofili

Location

Lefkas, near Vasiliki


Beach Name

Agiofili, or Agiofyli


My Rating Overall

4=very good beach, would go out our way to swim there again. We would travel for miles when in Greece, and we would even stay in the area just for the beach.


Beach

SP=Small pebbles


Sea Floor

SP= Small pebbles


Water

5= The sea water was some the best for swimming. We would go way out of our way to swim there again and would travel around the world if we had to.

(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 common


Access

Boat=accessible by boat only
Foot=
parking far, long walk to the beach

To reach the beach by car one has to drive over some very difficult dirt road, and find a parking spot ten minutes walk from the beach.

The best way to get there is by water taxi from Vasiliki. The water taxis return in the afternoon to pick up bathers, although one of the days we were there the large waves prevented the water taxi from approaching, so most bathers had to walk for about 45 minutes back to town. So take your walking shoes along just in case.


Amenities

No amenities anywhere near the beach, so bring your own water. Amazingly enough you can rent a beach bed and umbrella!


RV / Camper Accessibility

There is no way an RV can make it anywhere near Agiofili beach. Park in Vasiliki and take the water taxi.


Snorkeling

P=looks promising but I did not dive


Notes

Very nice beach, although the waves do pick-up in the afternoon. Getting there is not easy, but the beach is so small that it could not handle big crowds anyway.

Comments Best beach I vistited when we were away with beautiful crystal clear turquoise water that got deep very quickly. Jumping in off the cliffs surrounding the beach was brilliant, and snorkelling at the foot of cliffs was amazing. I'm definitely going again!
