Paralia Lakka is a beach located on the island of Paxi, Greece. It is known for its electric blue waters, which are considered some of the nicest in Greece that can be accessed without a boat. The beach is pebbly, but once visitors enter the water, they encounter super soft sand and no waves.
The beach is accessible via a path, after which visitors must descend some steps. It is slightly hard to find, and if visitors park in the city centre of Lakka, it will take about a 5-10 minute walk to reach the beach. Alternatively, some visitors may choose to drive to the top and walk down, although the difficulty level of this route is unknown.
Once visitors find the path to the beach, they pass an unorganized beach called 'Kanoni Strand' and continue on to the organized beach area. This area features sun beds and taverns. There is natural shade provided by trees, although the area can become muddy after rain. Some visitors may choose to rent paddle boards and enjoy the calm waters.
Paralia Lakka is not a very large beach and can become crowded with boats. The walk to the beach can be long, especially if carrying heavy items. The stones on the beach can be slippery, and some are sharp, so visitors are advised to wear shoes. Despite these challenges, the beach is considered a must-visit while in Paxi.
The beach is close to Lakka village and has an average popularity. It offers both paid facilities, such as sunbeds, taverns and bars, and free spots for unorganized swimmers. However, it is located close to the harbor, which some visitors may find inconvenient. Overall, Paralia Lakka is a cool and chill place that is family-friendly.
