Your best bet is server logs. Or even better, a custom Apache module.

"accurate" depends on your objective...
lets say, server records 1000 hits, 100 of those hits are bots/crawlers/visitors who weren't able to load the page/etc
1000 is accurate if you are interested in knowing how many "hits" your site received..
900 is accurate if you are interested in knowing how many human "visitors" your site received...
If you are a server admin, "hits" may be more of interest to you...
If you run a business, like some of us here, I would think number of human visitors is more "accurate"...
