Is Erimitis a sandy beach?

No, Erimitis is a pebble beach, so water shoes are handy. Facilities: unspoiled nature.

Is it easy to park at Erimitis?

Roadside parking. Spaces are limited and fill up early in summer, so arrive before 10:00 or come by scooter or bus. It's a 15 minute walk from the road, and the last stretch is a dirt track.

When is Erimitis least crowded?

It's rarely crowded, even in August. Outside June–September it's quiet all day.

Which wind is best for swimming at Erimitis?

The beach faces west, so it's calmest when the wind blows from the east and gets waves when it blows from the west. The summer maistros, a northwesterly that picks up in the afternoon, often makes it choppy, so mornings are best.

Erimitis beach guide

Erimitis is the newest beach on Paxos: it appeared in the late 2000s when part of the west-coast cliff collapsed in a landslide. Today it's a pebble beach with clear, turquoise water under tall white cliffs.

The cliffs face west and turn orange at sunset, which is why Erimitis is the island's favourite sunset spot; the best view is from above. Getting down means a dirt road and a steep path of about 15 minutes, with rocky steps at the end, and there are no facilities.
