Sidari Beach

A scenic beach with bars, and vibrant day and nightlife. Beautiful rock formations and views of Albania's mountains. If you have time, hike to Ortholithos.

Benitses Beach

Benitses is accessible on wheelchair. Note that it's close to a marina and a village which might be an advantage or disadvantage. Nothing special.

Ermones Beach

Probably not the best beach. A neighboring canal sometimes makes waters murky and there are big hotels on the hill. However, when waters are clear, it's great.
