Porto Katsiki, Ionian Islands, Greece
4.5 (3.360 reviews) Spent Ranking #4 in Lefkada Beaches
Snorkel + Sunset
Bookended by a cliff, you have to descend a steep flight of steps to reach this breathtaking beach boasting fine powdery sand and calm sapphire waters. There is a restaurant up top with staff on the beach ready to take your order and send your food and drinks down to you. Porto Katsiki is best enjoyed before noon or in the evening, as multiple large tourist boats stop by in the afternoon. Bring an umbrella as the cliff, while magnificent, offers little in the way of shade. Stay out of the restricted areas as there is a risk of falling rocks. – Tripadvisor

Beautiful beach
We visited on a Saturday afternoon in June and were surprised that it wasn’t busy at all. We parked on the side of the road to avoid the parking fee and had no issues. Beach was gorgeous, very clean and the water temperature was perfect. Limited shade so bring an umbrella if needed. Nice that there’s a shop at the top for drinks / ice creams

Stunning beach
This is a stunning beach, quite a long drive but a beautiful one. The scenery and smells are so good. The beach has some free parking on the side of the road, but mostly paid and now €10 a day! There are a few shops with toilets at the top with all the usual beach stuff and take away food and drink. Then fairly steep steps o to a white pebble beach. The sea is turquoise blue and a lovely temperature . It’s quite tricky getting in and out so beach shoes are helpful. There are some guys from a local restaurant taking orders for food and drinks that can be delivered to you. There’s little shade after midday so take an umbrella. The snorkelling around the torch’s is fabulous. A negative for us were the big boat trips with loud music who came and stopped for swimming but it was only for about an hour. Bit annoying and very loud. Really not needed. The walking on the pebbles was hard work and really not suitable for anyone with mobility issues . But the sea and the views are amazing. Definitely worth a visit
