Monolithi

About

Monolithi is a long sandy beach, on the west coast of Preveza regional unit, Greece. The total length of the beach is 22 km. It is extended from Mytikas until Kastrosikia village The name Monolithi comes from Greek roots "" + "" = "single" + "stone", after a projecting rock about ten meters high, that could be seen from the beach until it was destroyed by German and Italian soldiers with mortar fire in 1942. A photograph before 1942 is available. Today the rock exists as an undersea reef 10 cm from the surface.
