The beach's entrance to the water is a bit rough and uneven, with scattered rocks and pebbles that may make it difficult to navigate.

The beach stretches on endlessly, adorned with soft sand and crystal-clear waters, albeit slightly choppy on windy days. However, the sea remains calm in the vicinity of the charming tavernas. This seaside spot is a must-visit for those seeking a quick getaway near Heraklion.
