Ah, the gorgeous expanse of sand and sea on the western side of the peninsula! The waters are so clear and blue, you'd think you were in a postcard. And the best part? Not too many umbrellas, so you won't have to fight for a spot to lay down your towel. Of course, if you want to fork over 8 EUR, you can snag an umbrella and two chairs to call your own for as long as you please. It's a bit steep, but hey, who needs food when you have shade, right? But if you do get peckish, fear not! Just a jaunt up the hill from the beach, you'll find Stelios, ready and waiting to serve up a delicious lunch or dinner. It's the perfect way to round out a day of sun and surf.

The beach is truly exceptional, situated in a delightful spot with an impressive beach bar and comfortable sunbeds available upon request. Our time spent swimming in the ocean was thoroughly enjoyable, while the little ones were kept busy building sandcastles for hours on end.

The beach is simply stunning, and we were fortunate enough to experience the local sunny weather during our visit. We even had the opportunity to go snorkeling, which was a delightful experience.

This cozy little beach is a gem, and surprisingly not overrun with tourists during our visit in October. The water was still invitingly warm and crystal clear. A small shop on the beach provided refreshments for those in need of a cool drink. While we noticed umbrellas and beds available for rent, we opted to soak up the sun without them.
