Follow the signs to Pedi Beach. After about 5 km, you will reach a fork; take the left road leading to Lapathos Beach. Continue on this road for approximately 3 km, and you will find the entrance to Lapathos Beach. Note that parking is available near the beach, but there may be a small fee depending on the season.

Public Transportation

The bus journey takes about 15 minutes. Once you arrive at Pedi Beach, you can either walk towards Lapathos Beach, which is about a 30-minute hike along a scenic path, or you can arrange a local water taxi. The cost for the water taxi is typically around 10-15 euros per person, depending on the season and demand.

Boat
If you're feeling adventurous, consider renting a small boat from Symi Town to reach Lapathos Beach. This option allows you to explore the coastline at your own pace. Rental prices can vary but expect to pay around 50-100 euros for a half-day rental. Make sure to have a map or GPS, as navigating the waters can be tricky if you're not familiar with the area.
