Preveza Beaches: 8 Visits in 23 Years
Every time I return to my husband’s hometown of Preveza, Greece, there are three beaches that call to me—each a unique mirror of release, stillness, and strength. The waters are always crystal clear, shifting from warm to cool with the sun.
Alonaki Beach: Enter through a picturesque cafe tunnel to find a sand beach with high, loud waves. This is my place to truly let go and let the waves wash away worries.
Kyani Akti (Cyan Coast): This stunning turquoise beach has transformed over the years. Due to its rock formations, there are hardly any waves—it feels like swimming in a calm, clear pool. Perfect for families and anyone seeking gentle stillness.
Monolithi Beach: Europe’s longest beach at 20KM, mainly pebbles, with waves like Alonaki but a steep drop-off. Just three steps and the water is chest-deep! It’s a workout to get out, but the sunsets are breathtaking, and it’s a beautiful challenge with the sea.
Soaking up the sea and sun here always brings me joy, calm, and peace. As I continue on this journey, I truly appreciate these moments by the water.
A little note: I stayed a bit too long in the water with my half-board, and now my chest and upper back are a bit sunburnt—lol! A gentle reminder to always honour the sun’s power, even when the water feels amazing.
