Ah, the quintessential beach experience - crystal clear waters, umbrellas, and sunbeds. It's the perfect recipe for a day of sun-soaked relaxation. The beach's beauty is undeniable, with its pristine sands and sparkling waters beckoning visitors to take a dip. And let's not forget about those trusty umbrellas and sunbeds, providing much-needed shade and comfort for beachgoers. All in all, a trip to this beach is a must for anyone seeking a slice of paradise.

4 Frustrating

The beach is quite busy and crowded, which is surprising considering it's just an average beach by Greek standards. It seems that many visitors from the nearby Xora village flock to this beach due to its convenient location. However, there are a few tavernas that offer stunning views. If you're looking for a more secluded and picturesque beach, there's a footpath that leads to the much emptier and prettier Vithisma beach to the east, which takes about 20-25 minutes to hike.

This charming cove boasts an array of generously sized pebbles and pristine, translucent waters teeming with marine creatures that are sure to captivate you for hours on end. With a plethora of rocks and sea life, you're bound to be entertained. Additionally, there are a handful of fantastic eateries and comfortable sun loungers available for your use.

The beach is absolutely stunning and boasts an incredible dining experience at Megalos Mourtias Restaurant. The calamari, filled with a medley of four distinct cheeses, was the highlight of my visit. Additionally, their homemade lemonade is a must-try.
