The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Ascension beach (Thessaly) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Ascension beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

10 Exceptional

The beach offers a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for a leisurely stroll and indulging in delectable seafood dishes served at the charming seaside tavern. We savored our coffee and dessert while admiring the breathtaking sunset and unwinding to the soothing melody of the lapping waves. The beach boasts a rugged terrain, but comfortable seating options such as chairs and sunbeds are available for a tranquil reading session and taking in the mesmerizing views of the Aegean Sea. Note that if you prefer a more organized beach experience with sandy shores, the neighboring Horeftos beach is the ideal destination. Additionally, the road connecting Horeftos and Analipsi is rustic, so it is advisable to take the Puri route if you are unfamiliar with the area.

This coastal area boasts an exceptional landscape adorned with pristine whitewashed stones, creating a unique and unforgettable experience. The crystal-clear waters offer excellent opportunities for snorkeling and fishing, while a small stretch of sandy beach provides a perfect spot for sunbathing and relaxation. Don't miss out on the chance to visit Plimari Tavern, owned by a local fisherman who guarantees the freshest catch of the day.

The beach is adorned with large rocks that add to its natural beauty. However, caution is advised when venturing into the water as it can be slippery and dangerous. It is important to note that this is not a beach with small pebbles, but rather a unique landscape of rugged terrain.
