The beach is not worth the effort of walking, especially if you have to wear sneakers. The water may look clear, but it's probably full of harmful chemicals and pollutants. The seabed is a dull and uninteresting sight, with no variety in the types of fish or rocks. You'll regret ever getting into the water and wish you could leave as soon as possible.

4 Frustrating

This particular stretch of shoreline is one of the rare sandy beaches in the area. However, it is marred by an overabundance of beach chairs and umbrellas, all of which are owned by an individual who demands a hefty €20 fee for each pair. Additionally, the water near the shore is rather cloudy and littered with foliage, but it does clear up about 20 meters from the coast.

This place is absolutely breathtaking! The water is crystal clear and offers fantastic opportunities for snorkeling. However, the only downside is the noise coming from the water supply ship that is docked nearby. If you're willing to overlook that, you can rent an umbrella and two sunbeds for €20 per day.
