This beach is definitely the highlight of the island. Our visit there was absolutely fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 😊

The drive up the mountains to reach this beautiful beach offered stunning views of Salamina. However, during our visit, the beach was quite crowded due to the bank holiday.

Ah, the beach. A truly awe-inspiring natural wonder. The colors are good, I suppose, and there are plenty of Tamarisks for shade. Don't forget to arrive early if you want to snag a spot in the shade, though. You could spend all day here if you wanted to, but let's be real, who wants to do that? If you're feeling adventurous, there are a couple of mini coves to the north that are supposedly perfect. But who knows, maybe they're just mediocre at best. Either way, it's the beach. What more do you need?

The beach may require a bit of a journey, but it's well worth the trip. It's a hidden treasure of a beach that is delightfully serene, with a shoreline adorned with vibrant, multicoloured pebbles that give it a jewel-like appearance. The drive to the beach is a picturesque journey through lush pine forests, offering breathtaking vistas along the way. If you're in Salamina, this is an absolute must-visit destination.
