The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. 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 Forokli beach (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 Forokli beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.

This stunning beach boasts small pebbles and pristine, crystal-clear waters that glisten in the sunlight. While the road leading to this hidden gem may present a bit of a challenge, the payoff is well worth it, as you'll find yourself in your very own private paradise.

This so-called beautiful beach may be a sight for sore eyes, but good luck trying to get there without breaking a sweat or your car's suspension. Unless you're willing to shell out some dough to ride on a boat with some guy named Nikos, you're better off admiring the ocean from afar. But hey, at least Nikos is a great sea dog, whatever that means.
