It's a great spot for some peace and quiet if you're looking to unwind. I had the pleasure of spotting some wildlife, which was a lovely surprise.

This beach is absolutely stunning with its long stretch of crystal clear water and scattered stones. It's one of the few renowned beaches on the island that offers a decent amount of unorganized shoreline.

This beach is off the beaten path as it only has rented villas and lacks any bars or umbrellas. However, it's conveniently located near the Steni Vala yacht port and is frequented by a diving school. The beach is covered in pebbles, but I particularly enjoy it for evening swims.

I visited the beach in late August and was pleased with the tranquility, clear water, and stunning views. The nearby small islands keep the waves and wind to a minimum, creating a peaceful atmosphere. I recommend taking a stroll to the end of the beach to check out the beach bar.

Located near Steni Vala, this beach is covered in pebbles and offers rental options for umbrellas and sunbeds. While the waters are clear, it may not be considered a top destination on the island.
