The beach is quite pleasant with a mix of pebbles and fine sand leading into the sea, which means you don't have to wear any special footwear. The water is not chilly, but rather refreshing, particularly during the hotter months. A set of two sunbeds and a parasol can be rented for 5 euros.

The beach is stunning and untouched, with a lovely palm-lined walkway along the river that's definitely worth checking out. Just make sure to consult a map beforehand, as there's a 150-meter cliff descent and ascent that can be quite exhausting, or alternatively, you can take a leisurely stroll along the cliff path if you approach from the other side.

The beach is lovely, but be aware that there are large rocks so it might be worth bringing some water shoes. If you want to rent two sunbeds with a parasol, it will cost you five euros. Additionally, there is a mini market, cafeteria, and restrooms available. If you plan on staying overnight, there are apartments for rent.

This beach is located away from the crowded Preveli beach and is incredibly peaceful. Despite being just a short walk from Preveli, there are no crowds and it's very quiet. If you're searching for a tranquil spot, this is the perfect place to come and relax.

The umbrellas on one side are quite nice and it's only a 600-meter walk to Prevent beach. The walk is worth it, as there are steps and a walkway all the way there.
