The beach has crystal clear water and is conveniently accessible, with the added bonus of refreshing shade provided by the olive trees. It's easy to wade into the water, even with the pebble-covered terrain.

Although lacking in amenities, this pebble and shingle beach boasts breathtaking vistas that are sure to leave you in awe. The gradual slope of the shoreline makes for a comfortable swim, while the crystal-clear waters offer a refreshing respite from the heat. Despite the occasional presence of locals and the opulent yachts anchored nearby, the beach remains a serene and peaceful oasis. A trip to this beach is certainly a must-do for anyone seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
