Lying on the northernmost tip of the Peloponnese, approximately 16km northeast of Patras and opposite Nafpaktos and the coasts of Etoloakarnania, the beach of Drepanos is washed by the Gulf of Corinth and enjoys great tourism development as a celebrated summer destination.
Trees reaching almost to the sea ensure dense shade for bathers, proving ample space to sit and enjoy the beauty of the seascape.
Largely unserviced, it is therefore among the top preferences for those seeking a relaxed and peaceful stay. Its small serviced part is dominated by umbrellas and beach bars.
Pebbly and relatively deep, it features a beautiful lighthouse, regarded as its trademark. Of a special construction, with a tower height reaching 10m, the lighthouse was built in 1880, and remained inoperative during WWII. It was later restored and has been in operation since 1945.
The western side of the beach, around the lighthouse and towards cape Drepanos, attracts extreme water sports and kitesurfing enthusiasts, thanks to its strong winds.
