The beach is positioned directly across from the private island of Skorpios, formerly owned by Aristotle Onassis.
The name 'Pasha' refers to a historical title of high rank in the Ottoman Empire, reflecting local folklore regarding the land's previous owners.
The water clarity is heightened by the presence of cold freshwater underwater springs common to this part of the Lefkada coastline.
The beach is sheltered from the prevailing 'Maistros' winds that often cause rough seas on the island's western side.
Pasha Beach is a small, secluded pebbly cove located on the eastern coast of Lefkada island near the village of Perigiali. It is distinguished by its dense greenery and pine trees that extend nearly to the water's edge, providing natural shade throughout the morning. The seabed is primarily composed of small white pebbles and sand, resulting in clear, turquoise waters. The beach remains relatively undeveloped compared to the major west-coast beaches of the island, lacking large-scale commercial facilities. It is shielded from strong winds due to its orientation towards the Ionian mainland. The shoreline is narrow and access typically requires navigating a steep path from the main coastal road.

Bring your own snorkel gear, as the rocky seabed attracts a variety of local fish.
Attempting to visit during heavy northerly winds, which can lead to debris washing ashore.
