Melina
The sandy beaches on Lefkas' west coast are said to be amongst the best in Greece.
Egremni beach, on Lefkas’ west coast, is 2.5 kilometres long and backed by dramatic sandstone cliffs. White sand and small pebbles shelve into a chalk-blue sea, making it one of the most photographed beaches in Greece. There are no beach facilities and access is via a series of concrete and wooden steps (around 300) from a carpark, excursion boats or a hired boat from Vassiliki.
Villa Melina is on a cliff top terrace directly above Egremni beach with panoramic views over the sea towards Paxos and AntiPaxos. On a lower terrace is Villa Helona. Bordered by tall pine and cypress trees and silver olive trees, the villa enjoys a peaceful, dramatic location of natural theatre.
The sun sets directly opposite. Stargazing is a delight with little artificial light in the area to diffuse the clarity.
Melina is a 10 minute walk away from the tavernas and minimarket of Athani village.
A short drive away are the sandy beaches of Porto Katsiki and Gialos.
