💧 Bathing water quality: excellent (official assessment by the Greek Ministry of Environment, 2025 — monitoring point “Legraina Dytika”, 24 m from the beach)
Legrena beach is located just before Sounio, in Attica. It is a sandy, wild beach with quiet coves that offer natural protection. Ideal for those seeking tranquility, away from the crowds of the Riviera. Its orientation towards the sea (200°) and the partial protection of the bay create calm waters, suitable for swimming.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces south. With northerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.
The shore faces south (200°), so from September to March the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with northerly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
