Detailed description:
From the main road, a rough dirt road leads to the beach for a few hundred meters.
The shore has fine sand, while the first few meters in the water are rocky, through which sandy paths have been formed leading to the shallows with a sandy bottom. The water is extremely clean and of a recognizable turquoise color.
The beach is surrounded by olive groves, so it is possible to park the car in the shade.
The road to the beach itself is bad, especially after rain, as it partly passes through a stream, so it is recommended to first check the condition of the road on foot before descending by car, especially if you are driving a lower car.
Since 2016, the beach has been wild again, without a canteen or beach bar, so it is necessary to bring your own equipment, food, and water.
On the left side of the beach, there are small caves, coves, and unusual rocks suitable for fishing or jumping into the water. Strong swimmers can swim to Arsanas Beach, separated from Livadi Beach by a rock.
It is best to visit in the morning hours, as the sun sets early here due to the high hills and it can become chilly.
If you enjoy beaches with shallow waters, clean water, no traffic, and in a natural setting of olive groves and greenery, Livadi Beach is worth adding to your list of places to visit.
Parking and arrival:
Cars can be parked in the shade of olive trees near the beach.
