Agiofili beach, Coastal beach in Apollonioi, Greece
The white pebble shoreline of Agiofili stretches along turquoise waters, flanked by steep limestone cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation.
The beach remains a testament to the geological formations that shaped the southern coastline of Lefkada island through centuries of tectonic activity.
Local fishermen from Vasiliki village maintain their traditions by sailing their boats past Agiofili beach during their daily maritime activities.
Visitors can access the beach via a 20-minute walking path from the parking area or take regular boat services from Vasiliki port.
The natural configuration of the surrounding cliffs creates distinct water patterns that change color throughout the day as sunlight reflects differently.

Greece is home to many secluded beaches, away from main tourist routes and resorts. These lesser-known coastlines are found on the islands of Crete, Lefkada, Zakynthos, Cephalonia, Milos, and Karpathos. Some feature fine light-colored sand, others black volcanic pebbles from ancient eruptions, and all are surrounded by turquoise waters where the seabed is visible from the surface. Accessing these sites often requires extra effort: steep paths descending from cliffs, unpaved roads crossing Mediterranean scrub, or boat trips from coastal villages. Seitan Limania is nestled in a gorge with rocky walls over 100 meters high, while Egremni Beach is accessible after descending 350 carved steps in the cliffs. Mavra Volia is distinguished by its black lava stones, remnants of an eruption 2200 years ago, and Kedrodasos is home to centuries-old junipers casting shadows on the sand. These beaches generally have little or no tourist infrastructure. The lack of restaurants, parasol rentals, or paved parking preserves their natural state and limits the number of visitors, even during peak summer season. Some areas, such as Marathonisi Island, are partially protected to allow nesting of loggerhead turtles.
