This is an excellent spot for a refreshing swim. Even when the other beaches in Paleoxora are blustery, this one remains calm and inviting. The cuisine is exceptional, and we had a wonderful time. Many thanks!

This nice beach has crystal-clear waters and immaculate sand, accompanied by a charming tavern that serves ice-cold beer. The staff at the tavern are incredibly hospitable, generously offering complimentary olives, cheese, and cucumber. A visit to this beach is an absolute must when exploring the area!

The beach, in my humble opinion, seems to be an attempt at creating an aesthetically pleasing environment for those who detest the natural feeling of sand between their toes and in their crevices. It's almost as if it was designed to cater to those who have never truly experienced a real beach. Although I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised to find that even at the age of 68, I was still able to run across the uncomfortably hot stones. However, this small feat did not make up for the overall lackluster experience. The availability of sunbrellas and sun loungers was a nice touch, but the food and drinks menu was nothing to write home about. It was reasonably priced, but the quality left much to be desired. The one redeeming quality of this beach was the absence of shrieking children, which made for a somewhat peaceful atmosphere. But overall, I cannot say that I would recommend this beach to anyone seeking a genuine and enjoyable beach experience.
