Makrygiali beach is located south of Igoumenitsa, featuring a large sandy shore with shallow waters. Despite its exposure, the natural protection of the bay is limited. It remains quiet even in summer, without crowds. Ideal for those seeking tranquility and comfort.
The beach faces west. With easterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with westerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind.
The shore faces west (255°), so all year round the sun sets within its field of view, over the water.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
Yes — the water deepens gradually, making it one of the better choices for small children.
On days with easterly (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.
