Marathia Beach

Marathia Beach is a well-liked destination located in the Municipal Unit of Efpalio, within the village of Marathias. The beach is renowned for its clean waters and pebbly landscape, which extends both on the shore and underwater. Visitors should exercise caution as the underwater terrain can be slippery.

The beach's natural environment is particularly favorable for swimming, especially when the local wind, known as 'maistros', blows from the west. This wind condition results in a flat sea surface, making swimming more accessible. Furthermore, the beach provides ample space for free swimming, adding to its appeal.

Marathia Beach is equipped with bars along its length, offering refreshments to visitors. However, it should be noted that the beach's infrastructure is somewhat lacking. Despite this, it is a popular spot to spend time, even during the evening hours, as the beach offers stunning sunset views from any location within the village.

Getting to Marathia Beach can be challenging, particularly when waves are present, making navigation a bit difficult for visitors. Nonetheless, the beach continues to be a favorite among both locals and tourists for its natural allure and pristine environment.
