There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun.

The beach we stumbled upon while en route to Aghia Fotia (Agia Fotia) was a hidden gem. Tucked away behind the Ferma Solaris Apartments, it was a wild and natural oasis. Despite its small size, the beach had a cozy and intimate feel, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful swim or a snorkeling adventure. The crystal-clear waters were teeming with fascinating marine life, making it a great place to explore with a mask. Overall, this beach was a delightful surprise and a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a serene and secluded spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the beauty of nature.
