A beach where locals come to enjoy themselves and unwind, it is incredibly secluded and untouched by development.

The water at this beach is absolutely stunning, crystal clear and ideal for snorkeling! Additionally, the beach bar/food truck is delightful, with incredibly friendly staff, and the pita there is truly outstanding. Moreover, you can rent an umbrella and two sunbeds for just 6€ for the entire day. It's a great deal!

The small beach is truly amazing. It can get quite crowded on the weekends, but thankfully there aren't an overwhelming number of tourists. Despite the crowds, it was still easy to locate available sunbeds and an umbrella. Additionally, there are two other small beaches nearby that can be reached by foot, which are even more beautiful, albeit smaller.

When we visited the beach, it was quite windy. However, despite the wind, we still preferred it over the difficult-to-reach rocky beach and the crowded Ammoundaki. The water was incredibly clear and teeming with fish, thanks to the presence of seaweed. There was also a really cool tavern/food truck with a laid-back hippie atmosphere, offering simple yet satisfying food and drinks.

This beach is the ultimate hippie destination and a great spot for caravanning. It's not overly crowded and mostly frequented by locals. If you're a fan of Bob Marley, the tavern is the perfect place to enjoy some drinks and food. While the beach may not have sandy shores, you can relax under the umbrellas and rent seats for just 5 Euros. The taverna offers a limited selection of food and drinks, but the prices are very reasonable. Additionally, there are free restroom facilities nearby. Overall, it's an absolutely incredible experience. Bravo! 👏
