If you are fond of visiting tourist destinations, then the beach is the perfect spot for you. It offers a plethora of amenities such as comfortable chairs and colorful umbrellas that will make your stay more enjoyable. The repetitive pattern of chairs and umbrellas creates a charming ambiance that will make you feel relaxed and at ease.

4 Frustrating

Oh, the joy of visiting a beach that makes you feel like you're watching paint dry! The nudist beach in Sougia, on the other hand, is a whole different story. It's the kind of place where you can let it all hang out and truly feel free. Trust me, you won't be bored here.
