What to do in Pirgi beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Pirgi beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Pirgi beach. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

The beach is amazing with its wide and long stretch of sandy shoreline, occasional stones, and underwater fish. It's also perfect for snorkeling and offers breathtaking sunsets.
