Legrena - all beaches

There's a fantastic small pebble beach located an hour south of Athens. It's best to take the old road instead of the highway. The beach offers a great tavern and stunningly clear blue deep sea.

This tiny, hidden beach might seem like a peaceful escape, but don't be fooled by its shallow waters. The amount of plastic and garbage strewn about is enough to make you question if you're actually at the dump. We had to take matters into our own hands and pick up the trash ourselves. Despite the initial disappointment, we were able to snorkel and catch a glimpse of some vibrant fish. But let's be real, the ocean creatures are probably just as disgusted by the litter as we are.

The beach offers breathtaking views of the picturesque scenery, including a charming little church, a quaint settlement, small beaches along the coastline, and the deep blue waters of the sea. The area around the church provides plenty of lovely photo opportunities, as does the road overlooking the settlement, which boasts a panoramic view of the entire area.
