I've been to this beach twice, in 2020 and 2021, while waiting for the departure ferry from Igoumenitsa. I came with my camper and my family of four. The first impression was great, as the beach is beautiful. However, the water has a stinky smell due to a small river behind it that carries sewage. Unfortunately, both years we had problems with the police, even though we only used the beach for bathing and didn't set up any tents or chairs. The police came in the evening and told us to leave before dark, or we would face a penalty of 250€. It was frustrating to see 12 Italian campers on the other side of the bay who were able to stay for weeks without any issues.

During my visit to the beach, I encountered strong winds that made it unbearable to stay for long. Adding to the discomfort was the peculiar yellow foam from the nearby river that was not a pleasant sight for those who wished to take a dip in the water. However, I plan to revisit the beach on a calmer day to form a better opinion. In the meantime, if you happen to visit on a windy day, I suggest opting for the nearby Alonaki beach, although it tends to be quite crowded.

This beach is definitely one of my favorites in Greece. It's usually pretty peaceful and the water is always calm, making it a great spot to relax. I would definitely recommend checking it out.

The beach is quite spacious and offers crystal clear waters with minimal crowds. The presence of trees in the vicinity provides ample space for parking your car and also offers natural shade on the beach. You can comfortably walk on the sand without the need for water shoes. However, it is recommended to carry your own food and drinks to avoid any inconvenience.

The beach offers shallow waters that are perfect for kids, and the sandy shoreline offers breathtaking sunsets. Additionally, a river flows into the sea, providing a unique feature. However, it's worth noting that the water temperature can be chilly at times.
