Akrata Beach
Description
The Cosmopolitan and Vast Destination of East Aegialia with Crystal Clear Waters
Akrata Beach is one of the most popular, vibrant and timeless summer destinations of East Aegialia in Achaia. It is located on the Corinthian Gulf, in a privileged location that constitutes the port of Akrata, approximately 25 kilometers southeast of the Aegean Sea and 65 kilometers from Patras. The great advantage of the area is its vast coastline that extends for several kilometers, offering an excellent combination of cosmopolitan life and natural beauty, with the lush green orchards and trees of the area reaching very close to the sea.
- Type of coast: An endless, wide strip of clean pebbles and gravel on the shore, which keeps the waters absolutely clear and crystal clear. The sea deepens relatively quickly, offering an extremely refreshing and quality swimming, while the beach is consistently awarded the international Blue Flag.
- Suitable for: Families, groups, youth and vacationers looking for a destination that has it all. The area is traditionally famous for its intense tourist and cosmopolitan character, as the coastal promenade is suitable for endless walks with the magnificent sunset of the Corinthian Gulf as a backdrop.
- Infrastructure: Fully and exemplary organized. Along the long coastline, dozens of modern beach bars, cafes, branded restaurants and traditional fish taverns operate on the waves. The coast has umbrellas, sun loungers, showers, changing rooms, lifeguard coverage, as well as infrastructure for water sports. In the wider area, large hotels, rental apartments, shops and pharmacies operate.
- Access: Very easy, fast and direct. The journey from Athens takes about 1.5 hours (150 kilometers) via the modern Olympia Odos (Akratas Exit), while from Patras the distance is covered in about 50 minutes. The biggest advantage is that the area is served exemplarily by the Suburban Railway (Akratas Station), which connects the beach directly with Athens Airport and Patras. There is ample free parking on the surrounding streets.
