The beach is a beautiful location that could easily be mistaken for a scene from an Aki Kaurismäki film. It's worth noting that public entry to the beach is free, making it an accessible and enjoyable experience for all.

This beach is absolutely stunning and has a natural, untamed beauty. It's worth mentioning that the beach is open to the public and there's no charge for entry.

This stunning beach is a true gem, as it is not overrun by crowds and offers sunbeds for a reasonable price of 5 euros. The water is crystal clear and shallow, making it perfect for swimming and enjoying the serene beauty of nature. Additionally, the drive to this location is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning scenery along the way.

Gerakas beach is small and peaceful, with only a few sets of sunbeds available. It's a wonderful spot to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of more crowded tourist destinations. Additionally, it's worth noting that the beach is open to the public free of charge.

4 Frustrating

I visited the beach on a day when the weather was less than ideal. Unfortunately, I must say that it wasn't the most appealing beach I've been to. The presence of warning signs cautioning visitors about the monk seals gave me a bit of a fright. Overall, I wouldn't recommend spending your time here.
