Porto Katsiki
The pictures only hint at the true majesty of Porto Katsiki, and as you descend the 347 steps you may find yourself stopping to appreciate it from above.
For a better view of the whole scene there’s also a stairway to an outcrop on the north side.
Once you’re down on Porto Katsiki the beach is equally beautiful, with rounded pebbles and mesmerising turquoise waters.
Bring flip flops for added comfort on the stony surface.
Egremni Beach
