Visit Greece: Swim in Ionian Sea’s crystal clear waters of Thesprotia beaches
Even though the largest part of Thesprotia is mountainous, there is a 60-km coastline with marvellous beaches, stretching from Sagiada in the North to Parga in the South. The turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea wash the entire western coast, creating endless sandy beaches, picturesque coves and little harbours waiting to be discovered!
Let’s get acquainted with Thesprotia where you can discover the right beach for you; pebble, rocky or sandy. There are beaches offering facilities such as sunbeds, changing cabins, showers, bars, and restaurants. On the other hand you can discover untouched peaceful paradises. Whichever beach you choose, one thing’s for sure: you will enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea.
