Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Paralia Forokli (Karpathos island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Paralia Forokli for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

Karpathos boasts of the most amazing beach I have ever laid my eyes on! The crystal-clear waters, the soft sand, and the lush greenery surrounding it make it a paradise on earth. The beach is a perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun while listening to the soothing sound of the waves. It's a place where you can forget about all your worries and just enjoy the beauty of nature. I highly recommend this beach to anyone who wants to experience the ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation.

Venturing down a desolate, winding path leads to the supposed paradise of a beach. The isolation of the journey may provide a false sense of serenity, but the destination itself leaves much to be desired. Despite the natural beauty of the shoreline, the lack of amenities and crowds make for a lackluster experience. It seems as though the only company to be found is the sand and sea - not exactly the ideal vacation companions.

Ah, the beach with black trim and crystal clear sea, a true gem of nature. To reach this paradise, one can either take a leisurely stroll along the dry river path or endure a bumpy 7-kilometer car ride on a winding and narrow dirt road. But trust me, the journey is worth it. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by the cool shade of tamarisk trees and the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore. It's the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun, or take a refreshing dip in the sea. So, if you're up for a little adventure and don't mind a bit of a bumpy ride, this beach is definitely worth a visit. Just be sure to bring your sunscreen and sense of humor, as the road may test both.

The beach with stunning pebble formations that adorn the shore. The natural beauty of the beach is unparalleled, and the unique composition of the pebbles adds to its charm. It is a tranquil haven where one can unwind and bask in the beauty of nature. The beach is a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a relaxing picnic with family and friends. The soothing sound of the waves crashing against the pebbles is a melody that will stay with you long after you leave. The beach's picturesque landscape is a photographer's paradise, and you can capture some stunning shots of the pebbles and the sea. In conclusion, the beach is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves nature and wants to experience its beauty in all its glory.
