This particular beach on the island is undoubtedly one of the finest, and reaching it is quite effortless. The presence of trees offers a comfortable spot to relax in the shade, but for those who prefer the sun, there's a beach bar that provides umbrellas and sun beds.
We didn't get to explore the island much due to a heatwave and having a small child with us, so we stayed in Merichas. However, we made sure to spend our evenings at Martinakia beach, which was perfect for snorkeling and watching the sunset. We even brought our own food and had a picnic on the beach, which was really enjoyable.
The sea deepens rapidly, and a small beach bar provides basic food and drinks, though the sunbeds are overpriced.
The beach is fantastic, but it tends to be peaceful since not many people visit it, especially families. However, reaching the beach can be challenging due to the narrow and unpaved road. Once you arrive, parking is a breeze, but you will need to take a five-minute stroll through a small forest to get to the beach.
