That place is absolutely stunning and has all the amenities you could want, including a shower, bar, and a fantastic manager named Dimitri who is incredibly friendly. It's the perfect spot for families and couples alike, and the unique brown sand adds to its charm.

This beach is absolutely fantastic. If you're interested, Dimitrios can rent you a bed with an umbrella for around €7 or €8 and give you some insider information about the surrounding area. There's also a cafe/bistro nearby that serves delicious food and drinks, accompanied by lounge music. It's the perfect spot for a laid-back day at the beach.
