The beach offers crystal-clear waters that are sure to capture your heart. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing day by the sea, and the good music adds to the ambiance. You can also take advantage of the shower facilities to freshen up after a dip in the ocean. The trees provide ample shade, but if you prefer to bask in the sun, there are sun beds and umbrellas available for rent at a reasonable price. This beach is truly a paradise that you won't want to leave.

During our sailing trip with friends, we stumbled upon a gorgeous cove that left us in awe. The sea was like a mirror, reflecting the clear blue sky above. We couldn't resist taking a dip in the calm waters or simply admiring the stunning view while enjoying a leisurely lunch and refreshing drinks. It was a truly beautiful experience that we will always cherish.

This beach is just fantastic, and it's not even a long hike from Nidri. The bar is small but sweet, and the beach itself is spotless, with crystal-clear waters. There are even shower and changing facilities, so you can rinse off all that sand and salt before heading back to civilization. And the best part? It's not overrun with tourists - just a few friendly Greek families enjoying the sun and surf. The only downside is the teeny-tiny swimming pool, which was more of a leafy pond than anything else. But hey, who needs a pool when you've got the Aegean Sea at your fingertips? Highly recommend this hidden gem.
