The beaches of Achaia

Although the cities and villages of Achaea are popular and often chosen winter destinations, this does not mean that the prefecture does not have beautiful beaches where its visitors can dive into their crystal-clear waters and enjoy the sun.

Kalogria with its vast sandy beach next to the wonderful Forest of Strofilia stands out together with Gianniskari which has clear blue waters and a golden sandy beach drowned by the verdant green forest.

If you are looking for a beach with fine sand and comfortable organizational infrastructure, then the beach of Kato Achaia will reward you, while the picturesque port of Psathopyrgos with its deep and clear waters is something you won’t be able to forget.

Kato Rodini, with its transparent waters, has also given beautiful memories to the travelers who have been in its parts, as has Panagopoula, which is the hidden treasure of Aegialia.

Logos and Selianitika, on the other hand, with their fine pebbles take the world travelers’ breath away when they visit them.

If you are looking for a beautiful blue pebbly beach, Digeliotika seems to be the best choice. At the same time, the famous beaches of Pounta, which are among the best in the Northern Peloponnese, the mansion Egali in Diakopto as well as Akrata and Porovitsa will make you want to take off your clothes and dive into their emerald waters.

Don't forget Kryoneri, but also the rising Vrachneika, as well as Aegira, which catches the attention of travelers with its natural harbors. Whether you are looking for organized options and beach bars or the wilderness offered by their hidden beauties, the beaches of Achaea will leave you speechless.

Rio Beach

The beach of Rio is famous for its clear waters while another advantage is the shadow that the castle offers in the afternoon.

  In addition, there are many who refer to it as a secret beach, because it is not initially visible from the main road.

You will not find any places for sun loungers, coffee or food but the scenery is rewarding.

Gianniskari beach

Gianniskari is one of Achaia's most inaccessible beaches to reach.

To get to Gianniskari you will have to climb uphill by car following the signposted road, passing through a narrow alley, then down the slope  and next to the woods surrounding the whole area.

Getting there though, wil reward you for all the trouble.

It is a beach inside a narrow cove surrounded by the forest of the area and characterized by the endless sand that is there.

As for the waters? The warm, blue, clear waters that turn green when one reaches close to the bay that separates it from Kalogria beach, in a shallow sea that along with the others, resembles an exotic island.
