This idyllic beach, located approximately 4 kilometers from Paleochora, offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the sea that will leave you spellbound. While it takes about an hour to hike along the coast to reach this serene destination, the stunning scenery along the way makes the journey well worth it. However, if hiking isn't your thing, don't fret - it's also possible to reach this hidden gem by car. Either way, you won't be disappointed with the picturesque beauty that awaits you.

This beach is the perfect escape for those seeking a serene getaway. The water is so clear that it sparkles in the sunlight, beckoning you to take a refreshing dip. And when hunger strikes, a delightful taverna is conveniently situated nearby. Its rustic charm and natural canopy provide a lovely setting to savor a scrumptious meal.

The beach was undoubtedly picturesque, but the journey to get there was an absolute nightmare. The road was littered with sharp rocks and jagged terrain, making it nearly impossible to traverse without a sturdy off-road vehicle. Our small car was ill-equipped for the treacherous path and we were constantly on edge, fearing that we would puncture a tire or damage the undercarriage. It was a harrowing experience that left us questioning whether the destination was worth the perilous journey.

Prepare to be blown away by this truly remarkable destination! It's so peaceful and secluded, you'll feel like you're the only one there. And let's talk about those two beaches – they're simply breathtaking, with a perfect mix of rugged rocks and soft sand. But wait until you see the sunset – it's like something out of a dream. Trust me, you won't want to leave this paradise.
