4 Frustrating

The path leading to the beach is easily accessible, although parking is scarce during peak season. The beach itself is not particularly impressive, with large stones and a considerable amount of organic matter such as seaweed scattered along the shore and in the water during my visit.

A magnificent seaside spot awaits you with crystal-clear waters that are perfect for a refreshing dip. It's a secluded area that you can easily access by car. The beach is covered with large pebbles, but don't worry, you can make yourself comfortable by bringing your umbrella and beach essentials. Additionally, there is a pathway and stairs that will take you down to the sea, making it the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun.

Although lacking in amenities such as bars and toilets, this beach boasts many other positive attributes. With the addition of umbrellas, beach tents, and coolers, visitors can enjoy a fantastic day in the sun. The waves are larger than those found at an average Ithaki beach, but not to the point of being hazardous. All in all, this beach is a wonderful place to spend a day soaking up the sun and enjoying the water.

A stunning beach on Ithaki island awaits you, boasting small, pristine white pebbles that lend the water a striking blue hue. However, this may not be the ideal destination for families with young children. Accessible solely by boat, there are no amenities such as sunbeds or a canteen, so it is wise to bring your own supplies, including water, food, and an umbrella.

The beach was simply breathtaking and extraordinary! We reached there by boat and I am not sure if there is a roadway, but it is a destination that should not be missed. Ithaki, we are head over heels in love with you! ♥️
