To be honest, this beach is quite small with most of the space being occupied by cafes. The strip of sand available is also limited. Sun beds and umbrellas are available for €10. The water is decent, but Almyros beach is far superior. However, this beach does have the advantage of being closer to some great restaurants.

The locals are fortunate to have such a beautiful beach nearby! The scenery is breathtaking, and the water is crystal clear, just a short 5-minute drive from the town center. While the sun beds require payment, you can still enjoy the delightful beach bar. Definitely worth checking out!
