The beach is truly stunning, offering breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. However, if you are not comfortable maneuvering through the winding and steep roads of Vathy Village, it might be best to consider another option. Nevertheless, if you are feeling adventurous and up for a challenge, the journey to this beach is well worth the effort.

This beach is truly amazing and comes with an adorable bar that adds to its charm. However, parking here with a car can be quite a hassle. I suggest everyone park before the last turn, near the road junction to Filiatro. During high season, turning near the beach can be impossible due to the crowd, private properties, fishing areas, and boats that need to be respected. But don't worry, the short walk to the beach is definitely worth it. To save time and energy, I recommend walking or renting a scooter.

The beach offers a breathtaking view that is truly awe-inspiring. The sandy shore is simply awesome, and the crystal-clear water is home to a plethora of fish, making it a must-visit destination for all sea lovers. Don't forget to bring your sea glasses along for a truly immersive experience.

This beach is quite ordinary, lacking any real charm or excitement. It's not entirely deserted, but it's certainly not bustling with activity either. It may appeal to those who seek a serene environment with placid waters and seclusion. However, be warned that the cost of renting two sun beds is exorbitant, at a whopping 10€. It's a steep price to pay for the only available shade, but it's better than being scorched by the sun.

This stunning beach boasts breathtaking beauty that is truly awe-inspiring. Occasionally, you may come across some jellyfish, but this is just a minor inconvenience. Despite the occasional presence of jellyfish, the beach remains a gorgeous location with a picturesque bar/restaurant and a beautiful shoreline that is perfect for free camping. The only downside is that some yachts may discharge their waste into the water, causing it to appear greasy. Nonetheless, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a natural paradise.
