The title of longest sandy beach of the European Union goes to Monolithi in Preveza, which stretches 25 kilometres long and is in western Greece, along the Ionian Sea on the Epirus Region.
The beach of Monolithi extends along the west coast of the Prefecture of Preveza.
The name Monolithi comes from Greek words “Μόνος” + “Λίθος” = “single” + “stone”. It was an oversea rock 10X10m, near the coast, until year 1942, when German and Italian soldiers destroyed the rock with mortar fire.
The beach extends from the Village Mytikas of Preveza (Cape Komarus) until the Village Kastrosykia also of Preveza City. The wide sandy beach ends in Monolithi’s protected forest, also in Koukos hills.
