Porto Katsiki is one of the most famous beaches in Greece and Europe in general.
A photogenic beach at the bottom of an arc of pale cliff that seems to have the clean lines of something designed by an architect rather than a natural wonder.
Egremni Beach is reached via 347 steps, but well worth the journey, as featured in the Top 25 Beaches in the World in 2013 by CNN. The waters of Egremni are strikingly clear and the sunsets are frequently dramatic.
