The beach is not very easily accessible by car and the cleanliness could be improved. While the seaside is enjoyable, there are many other beaches on Kos island that are superior.

This beach is quite secluded, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere with plenty of space for everyone. If you're seeking a tranquil beach experience, this is the ideal spot to visit. The sand may not be the typical golden or white color, but it's still a beautiful sight to behold. The beach is wide and open, providing ample room to relax and enjoy the scenery. During my visit, the waves were quite intense, but it made for a thrilling swim. However, it's important to exercise caution when entering the water due to the strong waves. Despite the lack of amenities, such as a bar or sunbeds for rent, there is still plenty to enjoy. A kite surfer was taking advantage of the constant breeze, adding to the already picturesque view. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable amount of plastic debris scattered along the beach, detracting from its natural beauty. Accessing the beach requires a short drive down an unpaved road, but it's manageable with a regular car. Overall, this beach is a hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful and unspoiled environment.

This beach on Kos island is definitely one of my top picks. Though it's a bit secluded, the journey to get there is worth it. Unfortunately, during my visit, there was some litter that had washed up on the shore.

The beach is quite secluded and requires driving about a kilometer on an unpaved road. It's important to be cautious with scooter insurance. However, once you arrive, the beach is absolutely delightful with very few people and it's kept quite clean. The waves are big and perfect for playing in. The beach is sandy and features some stunning black sand. Nudism is allowed and nobody really cares about how you dress or don't dress. Sunbeds are available for 5€ per day and are perfectly fine. I highly recommend this beach.
