Detailed description:
You can reach it by car, the road has been renovated and a new one has been built, making it easy and quick to reach the beach. The road mostly leads uphill, is narrow in parts but in good condition. In front of the beach, right at the gate, there is a large parking lot that is paid, with the price depending on the season.
You can also reach the beach on foot from Vasiliki, a bit more challenging especially on hot and sunny days, so make sure to bring enough water.
To access the beach, you must pass through a gate that is open every day from 9 am to 8:30 pm, which is also the beach’s working hours.
When you approach the beach and see it from above, you will be amazed. To get to the beach, you have to descend the stairs which are steep but not many, so it won’t be difficult for you to go down.
The beach is not large, it is pebbly with some rocks, like most beaches in Lefkada, and the color of the sea is unbelievably blue. Unlike other popular beaches in Lefkada (Egremni, Porto Katsiki…), the sea here is not milky blue, but transparent, making it excellent for diving. The marine life is very rich, so Agiofili is a paradise for divers.
As soon as you pass the gate, there is a canteen where you can buy drinks and some basic food.
There are umbrellas and sunbeds available for rent on the beach. It is better to arrive early in the season or bring your own equipment due to the large crowds. Showers and toilets are located uphill near the canteen.
There is no significant shallowness in the water, the depth is gradual, making this beach more suitable for swimmers than for children. There are visible rocks in the water, so it is advisable to be a bit cautious when entering the sea.
The most beautiful part of the beach (without rocks in the water) is the right side, towards Vasiliki, and that part of the beach is shaded in the afternoon by the rocks located there.
From Vasiliki, there are also taxi boats that transport tourists to Agiofili beach.
In any case, this beach is not to be missed.
