Such a beautiful beach. The water there is very great."

The beach is stunning, but it's not accessible by a smaller vehicle due to the narrow road winding up and down the mountain. However, the effort is worth it once you arrive.

This beach is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear water that is truly special. However, it can get quite crowded due to its proximity to Athens, and there are often many boats in the area, especially on weekends. Fortunately, there are some other lovely beaches on the nearby island that are worth exploring if you want to avoid the crowds. On the northwestern shore, there is a small side beach that boasts a unique feature: a volcanic thermal spring with water that reaches a balmy 38 degrees Celsius. Although it's almost hidden, you can spot it while strolling along the beach.

This beach can be a bit challenging to access by car due to the narrow 200-meter stretch that can barely fit one car. Additionally, with over 60 boats and yachts in the water, the clarity of the water was compromised, making swimming a brief experience. Nevertheless, the beach itself is truly stunning.
