Wow! What an incredible week at the beach! My body is feeling the effects of all the sun and fun.

This charming and intimate beach, spanning approximately 200 meters, is under the management of Grecotel Meli Palace. The entrance to the sea is rocky, so it is recommended to bring swimming shoes. Although it tends to be windy and wavy, both the water and the beach are pristine. A short hike to the right will lead you to the quaint Chapel of Agia Varvara. Alternatively, those who enjoy longer hikes can venture to the left of the beach, where they can take in stunning views and even visit the nearby Chrysolakkos archaeological museum, located just 500 meters away.

The awe-inspiring sunset at this beach is truly remarkable. However, it's important to note that during north or northwest winds, swimming is not recommended.
