Beach description
The coast of the beach is covered with light pebbles, the entrance to the sea is gentle and the water is crystal clear. Apothyca is completely protected from the wind. The entire beach area is surrounded by green hills and cliffs. Exactly its beautiful landscapes, quiet secluded atmosphere and clear sea are the main advantages of the beach. The complete absence of any infrastructure obliges tourists to take with them everything necessary for a comfortable vacation: food, drink, beach equipment.
As an excellent option for a quiet beach vacation, Apothyca is suitable for couples seeking privacy. Near the beach there are several attractions worthy of the attention of tourists: picturesque medieval villages of Mesta, Olympia, Elata, Pirgi and Vessa and the magnificent beaches of Didim, Aggelia and Agia Irni.
When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
