I have had the pleasure of visiting one of the most breathtaking beaches I have ever laid my eyes on. It is a true natural wonder that is deserving of our utmost admiration and appreciation. As you venture onto this pristine shore, please remember to treat the resident geese with kindness and respect, as this is their home as well.

The beach is stunning! The water has a peculiar odor, possibly because of the surfers, but I discovered that the sulfur in the water has therapeutic benefits for the body and skin. I left feeling rejuvenated and fantastic! Even if you don't plan on swimming, it's still worth visiting for a relaxing day on the beach and some photo opportunities. The only downside is that the beach and water are quite pebbly, but wearing flip flops solves that problem.

Xigia beach is a natural wonder, renowned for its therapeutic properties that work wonders for your skin and overall health. The water boasts a stunning hue, thanks to the presence of sulphur. For a mere 5 euros, you can rent a comfortable sun lounger and bask in the sun's warm embrace. However, the parking lot is quite compact, so it's best to arrive early in the morning to secure a spot.

The beach offers basic amenities and is on the smaller side, with a stony terrain. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for a fee at the top of the beach before descending. The beach is especially enjoyable in the morning when it's more peaceful, but tends to get busier after 10-10:30am.

This beach is absolutely stunning, and the sea has natural minerals that add to its charm. The parking is well-organized and affordable at around 3.5 euros. You can also enjoy a drink at the bar located on the beach or up the mountain. It's definitely worth a visit.
