Lemonakia Beach is located on the northwest of Kokkari, less than 2 km away. It sits in a small bay, right next to another beach. The layout is terraced: starting from the car park, followed by the café, sunbeds under the trees, and finally sunbeds directly on the beach.
During our 7-day vacation, we spent 5 full days here—from 10:45 in the morning until 6 PM. Arriving at 10:45 was already too late to get the shaded sunbeds under the trees, so we chose the first-row sunbeds on the beach instead. If you arrive after 12 PM, it might be difficult to find any available sunbeds.
Each sunbed costs €5. We were a group of 6, and 4 sunbeds were enough for us.
The beach is stony and not very suitable for children under 8. The water gets deep quickly, which means it never gets too crowded. The sea is crystal clear, with small mossy patches visible further out.
The staff is amazing — they all speak English, are young, smiling, and always helpful.
The café and toilets are very clean. The food is very good. I especially enjoyed the eggplant saganaki topped with cheese (amazing!), and also tried the pasta (not bad), tomato-cheese bruschetta, and sardine bruschetta — both delicious. Try their garlic breads! Beer selection is the same as elsewhere on the island, and my favorite was Erdinger Weissbier. The coffee was also good.

Read moreNice beach loved the service received from Andrea's place. a set of beach Chairs with umbrella starts at $8 cushioned sets are $20 I think they are worth it if you will stay all day. The beach is pebbles and stones. I would recommend water shoes although I went in barefoot. Strong winds can make it difficult especially for non swimmers but this didn't stop small children with their parents from enjoying the beach. We went different days. We found the weekend to be the most crowded. People come and go so I never found it overcrowded m. If you go I hope you have...
Read morewe had a reservation but couldn’t make it to the beach due to an unexpected last minute emergency. I was late for just an hour and about to let them know I’ll not be able to make it. Altough i shared my sincere reason explaining the unfortunate situation, they kept providing negative feedbacks with a drama of they run a full business, i should’ve let them know earlier, I’m being disrespectful to my reservation etc. I don’t think this is the end of the world and no need to have this much of a frustration :) will definetly not visit and not...
