Detailed description:
Afteli is a small and very picturesque cove with emerald green sea, green surroundings, and anchored boats that add to the unique ambiance. The road to the beach is considered one of the more demanding on Lefkada, as it is very narrow in some places, making passing difficult or impossible. Due to the numerous curves, slow and cautious driving is necessary. At the end of the road awaits one of the most beautiful small coves on the island. The beach is pebbly and excellent for snorkeling due to the surrounding rocks and rich underwater world. There is a beach bar offering drinks and light meals, as well as sunbeds and showers. There is also a small area available for personal equipment. Due to the limited number of sunbeds and parking spaces, it is recommended to arrive early. If you enjoy small coves, natural surroundings, and less commercial beaches without fancy amenities, Afteli could be an excellent choice.
Parking and arrival:
There are several parking spaces near the beach, but they are mostly available if you arrive before 10 am. Otherwise, you can park your car along the road.
