Cile - all beaches

We are thoroughly enjoying the convenience of this hotel. The service is pleasant, intimate, and friendly. The food is delicious, the surroundings are beautiful, and everything is clean. We highly recommend it!

During my afternoon visit to the beach, I was shocked to witness the extent of litter that had accumulated on the shore. The sight of plastic waste, glass bottles, and cigarette butts strewn carelessly across the sand was disheartening. The choppy waves only added to the problem, causing some of the debris to wash out to sea. What was equally concerning was the lack of concern displayed by most beachgoers towards this environmental issue. It was certainly not the idyllic seaside experience I had hoped for.

This hidden gem in the Aegean Sea is more of a local swim spot than a tourist destination. The shoreline is mostly concrete and somewhat eroded, so it's not ideal for sunbathing. However, you can enter the water via the boat ramp on the side closest to the shore. Be cautious, as entering the water elsewhere can be dangerous due to slippery algae on the boat ramp's seaside edge and sea urchin-covered rocks near the platform. Despite these challenges, it's a stunning place to swim! My husband had a great time exploring with his goggles. As we were about to leave, we noticed some locals packing up their belongings, including chairs, and wading down the shore to the beach. We attempted to reach the beach by car but couldn't find an access point.

The bay is pleasant and well-maintained. On weekends, the beach area can become quite busy, but there is also a concrete platform with stairs for entering the sea. Families with children tend to avoid this area, so it is less crowded. If you don't mind the concrete and using stairs to access the water, it's a great option for those looking to maintain distance from others during the pandemic.

The hotel is great, but the only downside is that the staff primarily speaks French.

This beach is one of the best in the area.
