On a blustery winter day, we found ourselves at the beach. The atmosphere was enchanting and evocative, with the wind whipping through our hair and the waves crashing against the shore. As we gazed out at the horizon, we couldn't help but ponder the history behind the mysterious ruins dotting the landscape. It was a truly memorable experience, and we left feeling invigorated and inspired by the natural beauty that surrounded us.

The beach with stunning beauty, but it falls short of perfection due to the difficulty of swimming. The rocky terrain makes it challenging to walk without proper footwear, and even then, it's still not a smooth experience. Overall, the beach is a breathtaking location, but be prepared for some obstacles if you plan on taking a dip in the water.

The beach was absolutely stunning, and we were fortunate enough to have visited during a time when the conditions were safe for swimming in the waves. It was an unforgettable experience that left us feeling refreshed and invigorated.

At this stunning beach, you'll find a delightful bar and restaurant to enjoy. The scenery is simply breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters and soft sand that will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. Out of all the beaches I explored in the vicinity, this one was undoubtedly my top pick.

This exquisite beach is a hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It boasts a charming café and offers comfortable sunbeds for a reasonable price of €15 for two, along with a parasol to keep you cool. If you prefer to bring your own gear, there is ample space available on the beach. However, do keep in mind that the sea bed is dotted with sizable rocks beneath the surface. Despite this, the beach is impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing day in the sun.
