About Legrena Beach
The beach fills the whole of a 620 m bay facing south-west, sand on shore and seabed, with large smooth sandstone slabs at its eastern end. It is unorganised, with no visitor facilities, and a small walled harbour for small boats sits at the western end. Cape Sounio is 3 km away.
