The bay is an absolute stunner, adorned with pristine turquoise waters that are crystal clear and pine trees that stretch all the way to the shore. The bar perched atop the bay exudes a serene and laid-back ambiance that is simply amazing. I would definitely suggest a visit here!

Nice beach, ideal for young ones of all ages. Although it can get a bit congested, the experience is absolutely worth it. You'll find ample shaded parking spaces beneath the trees, and a quick descent down approximately 20 steps. At the top of the stairs, you'll find a cabin, a faucet, and a trendy beach bar. For those who love to swim, there are several smaller beaches nearby that can be reached by sea.

The beach with breathtaking scenery and a serene atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation. There are only a handful of people around, making it an ideal spot for those seeking solitude. The top cafe offers a stunning view of the beach, adding to the overall charm of the place.

The beach offers of crystal clear water and soft, powdery sand. However, the water is disappointingly shallow, barely reaching a depth of half a meter even after walking for a considerable distance from the shore. Don't expect any exciting diving or swimming experiences here.
