The beach is really lovely! It's quite spacious and the water is crystal clear, with sandy shores. Absolutely fantastic!

The beach is great for families with young kids, but it didn't appeal to me personally. Unfortunately, it didn't meet our preferences. The water is clean, but overall, we didn't enjoy the experience.

The beach is absolutely stunning, incredibly peaceful, and has sand all around, making it perfect for families with children. There are a few trees, but it would be helpful to bring an umbrella for the tent. It can get quite windy, so it's important to come prepared. If you're coming from Marmari, the road is paved, but if you're coming from Kapsala, it's a dirt road that is still easily passable.

The beach is incredibly beautiful, with crystal clear waters, making it the perfect destination for families with young children due to its shallow waters and sandy beach. It's advisable to bring umbrellas for sun protection. Additionally, the canteen offers a variety of options such as coffee, ice cream, and a delicious selection of dishes including veal steak, kontosouvli chicken, pork, pumpkin meatballs, and more. If they also have cooked dishes, I highly recommend trying them as they are truly worth it. Don't forget to order the small fish, and if desired, you can even request larger ones. Each year, the beach keeps getting better and better!
