Pyrgaki beach
Having visited Pyrgaki beach, we will surely have an exotic view of Greece. Its many dunes and perennial cedar trees do not fit into the framework of typical Greek coastal landscapes, which resemble themselves more like a gray desert. Therefore, such an unusual environment is more reminiscent of the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, rather than a typical beach of the Aegean Sea.

Beach description
Pirgaki is a wild beach on the southwest island coast, situated in a small bay, well-protected from north winds. The territory of this huge sand beach is non-equipped, so guests have a possibility to enjoy the beauty of primaeval Greece.
It is a perfect option for people wishing to enjoy swimming on a calm beach, but not to feel separated from the civilization, at the same time. In close vicinity to it, the necessary infrastructure objects are situated where any tourist needs can be met.
This beach has few visitors also due to the fat that no public transport goes here. People who love silence and quiet atmosphere get here by car or motorcycle. Speaking of swimming conditions, they will be rather suitable to tourists of different ages, including families with kids. There are rock formations on its territory, but there are also even sites with soft sand and smooth water entry. The beach has small waves and winds, but they create no obstacles for slow swimming, only refresh and encourage people at summer heat.
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.

Infrastructure
There is absolutely nothing on the beach, including umbrellas and sun loungers. But at the same time, it is very close to many large and organized tourist resorts, where you can always find a free room, have a good lunch and buy the necessary products or accessories for the beach. This is a beautiful beach in all respects and one of the best options for those who want to enjoy swimming on an excellent quiet beach, on which there are usually few people. However, it is in close proximity to facilities offered at tourist resorts and in Chora.
You can find several excellent taverns and several recently built hotels, rooms in this area, as well as studios, most of which have panoramic views of the sea sunset. For example, Sun And Moon Villas – is a spacious and well-equipped hotel where you can swim in the pool and sunbathe under the thatched umbrellas, while sipping sweet cocktails prepared at the local bar. It is a 3-minute drive from the beach.
