Vrika beach guide

Vrika is the sandy beach of Antipaxos, the small island about 15 minutes by boat south of Gaios: soft white sand with a gentle slope into shallow, electric-blue water. It's the easiest of the famous Antipaxos beaches for children and weaker swimmers.

In summer there are tavernas with sunbeds and umbrellas, and water taxis from Gaios land right on the beach. A path of about half an hour, with some uphill, leads past quieter Mesovrika to Voutoumi.
