This sprawling, unspoiled beach is a hidden gem that can be accessed by car with a bit of determination. Just follow the rugged road to the very end and take a brief 300-meter stroll to reach its sandy shores. While the water may not be crystal clear, it's still a fantastic spot for snorkeling and spearfishing, as the algae provides ample hiding spots for a variety of fish.

4 Frustrating

While the notion of a breathtaking private beach may seem alluring, the reality of finding it is quite challenging. Despite the initial straightforward ascent up a steep hill, locating the long unpaved road on your left proves to be a feat in itself. Once you arrive at the bottom, you are left to navigate through a farmer's field, complete with a tethered dog, geese, chickens, and even goats. The lack of a clear path to the beach or any indication of a sheer drop can be disorienting. However, it's worth noting that there are numerous other beaches available to explore. 🌞

What a hidden treasure! Though we had to traverse a lengthy path and maneuver through a farmer's field, Google Maps provided ample guidance to lead us in the right direction. This beach is perfect for those seeking solace and a piece of their own secluded haven. With only two other individuals present, this spot is highly recommended as a peaceful alternative to the bustling Antisamos Beach.

Our quest for the beach was met with obstacles as we searched for the elusive path. Despite our efforts, we were unable to locate the entrance. We believed we had discovered the correct route when we came across a small gap marked by a crimson boulder. However, our journey was impeded by the discovery of a complete goat skeleton and a suspicious shelter, which resembled a place of crime. We opted to retreat at this point, especially after noticing clothing items dangling from the nearby trees. It remains a puzzling mystery whether we encountered an individual's makeshift abode or mistakenly took the wrong trail.

Although the journey to the beach was a bit challenging, it was definitely worth the effort. The only hindrance that we encountered was a fierce dog that was barking loudly near the shore.
