Nafpaktos is a great destination with a rich history and welcoming locals. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the sea or beaches there, perhaps because I'm more accustomed to the other side in Aigio/Akrata. However, it's definitely worth a visit.

The beach is intriguing from an architectural perspective, but the cost of driving there at €13.50 for less than 3 km is quite high.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Paralia Aktaiou II (Western Greece) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Paralia Aktaiou II (Western Greece) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Paralia Aktaiou II for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
