Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Anefanti beach (Icaria island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. 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 Anefanti beach (Icaria 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 Anefanti beach 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.

The beach offers of pristine, crystal-clear waters and stunning, secluded surroundings that are sure to take your breath away. However, it's advisable to wear sports shoes while descending to the beach as the path can be a bit challenging.

To reach this serene beach, one must park on the road and take a short stroll down the trail, which takes no more than a couple of minutes. Once there, you'll be greeted by a pristine coastline, free of debris and noise pollution. The beach is adorned with smooth, beautiful stones that add to the overall tranquility of the area. If you're looking for a peaceful spot to unwind and recharge, this beach is an excellent option.

Despite its beauty, the beach is not easily accessible for everyone. The lack of sand and amenities such as umbrellas and a beach bar make it a difficult choice for those who need extra assistance or have young children. The only path to the beach can be challenging to navigate, especially for the elderly or disabled. If you do decide to venture down, be sure to bring plenty of cold water and wear appropriate footwear. While the crystal clear water is a highlight, the isolation of the beach may not be for everyone. It's just you and the sea, which can be both peaceful and lonely. Consider visiting after 4 pm to avoid the scorching sun, but be prepared for the trek back up the path. Overall, while the beach may be magnificent to some, it's not a destination for everyone.
