The beach was absolutely stunning, with soft sand and crystal-clear water. Although there were quite a few people around, it was definitely worth the trip.

The beach located on Sphacteria island is an absolute gem! Accessible by renting a boat in Pylos or by walking from the coast in a shallow area of the sea, it's a must-visit destination. The water is breathtakingly beautiful and boasts an array of colors that will leave you in awe. It's advised to bring along any necessary supplies to ensure a comfortable stay.
