The road leading to the beach is a narrow one with cliffs on either side and is marked as a private road. It is important to be cautious while parking your vehicle. The first bay is the ideal spot for swimming and it is located at Minnios Beach.

There are plenty of trees for shade, but this beach isn't the most glamorous and there are better spots for swimming on the island.

The beach is pleasant, although it is a bit narrow. It's best to park your car well before the dead end as the road is quite narrow, and if you have a larger vehicle, it can be difficult to make a U-turn. The water is clean and not disturbed by noisy boats, making for a peaceful atmosphere.
