Southeast coast
Mikros Gialos is a road-accessible southeast-coast beach with beach-level parking and documented seasonal accessibility equipment. Confirm SEATRAC operation and parking availability before travel.
Mikros Gialos is a pebbled beach below Poros on Lefkada’s southeast coast, framed by olive groves and Mediterranean vegetation. Its road approach makes it worth considering when you would like a beach day without the major stair descents found on parts of the west coast.
Choose it for a change of setting from Porto Katsiki’s cliffs and an opportunity to explore the southeast coast. You can drive to the beach area, although the walk from your parking place and movement across the pebbles will still matter when choosing it for your group.
Use Get directions for the beach location. Check navigation before leaving the villa and allow some flexibility in the journey: a map estimate does not include time spent finding parking or getting everyone down to the water.
Follow local parking signs and leave time to find a suitable space. If you need accessible parking or a step-free route, confirm the arrangements before travelling.
Mikros Gialos has a SEATRAC listing for independent sea access for people with mobility difficulties. The listing also includes parking, a beach track, WC, changing room, shade and shower. Confirm that the system and any facilities you need are operating for your visit; their inclusion in the directory does not guarantee availability on the day.
Pack for a pebble beach: water shoes may make the shore more comfortable. Bring water and sun protection, and check seasonal services before relying on food, toilets or showers. Road access and sea conditions are separate considerations—assess the water when you arrive.
Check the Hellenic National Meteorological Service warnings before your beach day. If the conditions or access do not suit your group, keep another option in mind.
