Head to this beach ASAP! For just €20, you can get two sunbeds and a parasol that aren't crammed together like other beaches on the island. The staff is fantastic and attentive, and the beach itself is pristine with calm waters. You'll even encounter friendly geese that won't bother you unless you offer them food. Make sure to check out the stunning cove next to Maratha Bay, accessible by scrambling over rocks (wear appropriate footwear) or swimming around. While the steps back up are steep, it's definitely worth the effort for this incredible beach experience!

Stunning stretch of golden sand that is sure to delight any beach-goer. The crystal-clear waters provide a refreshing escape from the heat, and the narrow expanse of shoreline adds to the cozy and intimate atmosphere. Overall, this is an excellent spot to soak up some sun and enjoy a peaceful day by the sea.

This review and accompanying photos are for the small beach located to the left of Maratha when facing the sea. Access to this beach can be achieved by descending a steep path through the trees or by scrambling over rocks or wading from Maratha. Maratha is primarily occupied by sunbeds, so if you're looking for a spot to lay your towel away from the main beach, the effort to reach this secluded cove is definitely worth it!
