The beach and taverna were delightful. Upon our arrival at 2pm, the atmosphere was serene and peaceful. However, one should exercise caution when entering the water due to a slick flat rock. The water is stunningly clear and offers excellent snorkeling opportunities. Additionally, the sunset over the sandhill beach adjacent to ours was truly breathtaking. For optimal viewing, climb the steps to the right of the beach. I would not hesitate to revisit this location.

The beach offers an exceptional location, offering breathtaking views that are sure to leave you in awe. It is an ideal spot for families with children, as there are numerous rock pools where kids can spend endless hours exploring and having fun. Additionally, the rock at the top of the hill is a sight to behold, and the path leading uphill is both easy and enjoyable to traverse. Overall, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves nature and wants to experience its beauty firsthand.

What a charming little beach, with water so clear you can see the fish swimming below. However, don't be fooled by its innocent appearance - getting in and out of the water is no easy feat. But fear not, for the stunning vistas of the bay that surround you are worth the effort.

Descend the sandy slopes and immerse yourself in the pristine waters that sparkle like crystal. For a truly authentic experience, ditch your shoes and feel the sand between your toes. Be prepared to encounter many others doing the same. Remember to pack plenty of water and snacks to extend your stay and bask in the beauty of the sunset. Don't forget to bring some form of shelter, as there are no amenities or swimsuits available.

The beach is an exceptional and distinctive destination that offers a unique experience. The sand-like appearance at the bottom is actually composed of stones, which creates an intriguing contrast. I couldn't help but wonder if there had been a volcanic eruption at some point, as the black sand is unlike any other beach I've seen. The picturesque surroundings make for a memorable experience. It is recommended to visit the beach early in the day to avoid the intense heat of the sand, unless you don't mind the warmth.
