The beach is great, with soft sand and not too many people. There's a nice bar where you can rent sunbeds with a small table and umbrella if you purchase drinks or food. The prices are very reasonable. It's a narrow stretch of land between the sea and lake, and there's a car park and lake just across the road. There aren't any natural shades like trees, but it's a classic sandy beach with beautifully clean water.

The beach is really nice. You can use the sun chair and umbrella without any charge, but you are required to consume at least one item of food or drink.

The beach is amazing, with its soft sand, convenient parking, and pristine waters. When we went in mid-June, it wasn't crowded at all, which definitely added to the experience. The view of Thasos Island, especially during sunset, is absolutely stunning.
