Methonis Beach

Methoni Beach stretches the full length of the bay from the impressive Venetian castle all the way to a sandy spit at the far end — a gorgeous backdrop to drop anchor. The beach itself is well set up with sunbeds and umbrellas along a pristine shoreline, and the island of Sapientza sits just 3 nautical miles offshore if you fancy exploring further. It's a genuinely beautiful spot with serious history right on the waterfront.
