Overview

The beach of Limni is a beautiful isolated environment which is located about 2 km away from the village of Liapades. Limni is a completely natural beach and since it has no infrastructure consider taking water and food with you. Its shape is very peculiar.

Essentially it’s a short white strip covered with smooth pebbles and no sand at all.

The strip merges the land with a huge rock in the sea and so a double beach is formed, where on the left and right are two beautiful bays with deep blue water. Once you are at Limni you will be amazed by the relaxing natural environment and instantly notice the serenity. The view is spectacular as you can see the Paleokastritsa, its famous coves the mountains and the green landscape.
