Prassonissi beach

Prasonisi beach is located in the Louros area, in a rocky location south of Mount Vouvala and the Pyrgos peak, between Agia Galini and Agios Pavlos . At the points where the mountain slope meets the sea, several small beaches with rocky bottoms and wonderful views of Paximadia islets are formed.

The Agiovasiliotikos road runs parallel to the coastline, so locating these beaches is not particularly difficult. Starting from Agios Georgios , next to Agia Galini , heading towards Agios Pavlos, we first come across the secluded beaches of Armenopetra .

In the Alikambos area, two kilometers before reaching Agios Pavlos we come across and shortly after the church of Agios Markos (Saint Mark) , there is a small island, which the locals call Prasonisi . The name ( praso is leek) comes from the wild leeks.

In Prasonisi the sea is usually calm and you may happen to see a few families of residents from Saktouria , to whose territory it belongs. The seabed is suitable for mask and fishing.

East of Prasonisi there are other beaches, where access is more difficult.
