Nice beach, with a serene atmosphere and just the right amount of visitors. However, during my visit in September, the wind was quite strong.

It is highly recommended to pay a visit to this beach, especially during sunset when the ambiance is incredibly serene. This spot is perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of the crowds, although it may not be ideal for swimming due to the numerous concealed stones and rocks that can pose a threat. On the bright side, three umbrellas and sunbeds are available free of charge, and parking is a breeze.

The tranquil beach offers complimentary beachbeds and umbrellas, nevertheless the lake appears murky and the water quality leaves something to be desired.

The beach offers of its pristine beauty, with calm waters protected from the tumultuous waves. However, shade is a scarce commodity here. The majority of the visitors are locals, giving it an authentic Greek vibe.

This secluded beach is a hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the popular tourist spots. With only three public umbrellas available for free, along with an equal number of comfortable deck chairs, this intimate spot is truly unique. It's not often that you come across a beach that's so peaceful and uncrowded, and yet so accessible. Just a short drive down a dirt road, with ample parking at the end, and you'll find yourself surrounded by crystal clear blue waters. It's the perfect place to escape from the world and soak up some much-needed relaxation.
